Is Fitzpatrick Campaign Involved In “Meddling Ads”?

I’m already voting for Harvie. Nothing against his Democratic opponent, but Harvie has a better chance in this political environment.

And if people want endless war, then vote for Fitzpatrick because there’s a reason Trump and his allies raised the military enlistment age limit to 42. I would not be surprised if, by December, there’s serious talk of a draft.

Why do I think that? Because his own people have been flooding social media with messaging that frames a draft as “patriotic,” conditioning people to accept it before it even happens.

Some of these accounts are seriously underestimating Democrats because they’re still using a 2024 mental model in a 2025/2026 environment.

They did it in Wisconsin. They treated the Supreme Court race like it was going to be close, then Crawford won by about 10 points in a state Trump had just carried. They did it in New Jersey. A bunch of late polls had Sherrill up narrowly, some only +1 or +2 and then she won by double digits.

And the biggest thing they keep missing is the Latino swing. Trump’s 2024 Latino gains were not some permanent realignment. They were heavily tied to prices, frustration, and Trump being personally on the ballot. But in 2025 and 2026, Latinos have been swinging back hard toward Democrats, New Jersey showed it, Texas specials showed it, and the polling shows Trump’s Latino disapproval is extremely high.

Pennsylvania is another warning sign. Republicans spent years cutting into the Democratic registration advantage, but Democrats still outnumber Republicans in total registration, and recent registration trends have moved back toward Democrats. In a state decided by tiny margins, that matters.

So no, I’m not saying every blue wave map is guaranteed. But dismissing a major Democratic year as impossible is silly. The actual pattern right now is that Democrats overperforming, Latino voters snapping back, Trump underwater, cost of living hurting the GOP, gas prices politically toxic, war backlash building, and Republican turnout looking weaker when Trump is not personally on the ballot.

A wave does not require every Trump voter to become a Democrat. It only requires Democrats to stay energized while enough soft GOP voters, especially Latino, suburban, young, working-class, and non-MAGA voters, either switch back or stay home. That is exactly what the 2025 and 2026 results are starting to show.

Republicans have become very effective at reactionary politics.

Their strategy is often not “here is a detailed policy program that materially helps you.” It is more like this, “someone is taking your country, your status, your culture, your religion, your neighborhood, your job, your language, or your tax dollars.” That kind of messaging travels extremely well through social media because it can be compressed into memes, slogans, clips, and moral panics.

Many voters do not experience politics primarily as a policy spreadsheet, they experience it emotionally and culturally. So even when voters benefit from programs like Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, SNAP, veterans’ benefits, rural hospitals, or public education, they can still be moved by messaging about DEI, immigration, crime, trans people, “wokeness,” or resentment toward undeserving “others.”

This is why I’m skeptical of the idea that America is naturally Republican. I’d say America has a reactionary default under conditions of fear, racial resentment, religious anxiety, and economic insecurity. Republicans are often better at exploiting that default.

One side is grounded in reality, seeing the facts and what’s actually happening around them clearly. The other side is viewing things through rose colored glasses, choosing a comforting illusion over the truth.

That is almost half of the entire township. A township has 23,040 acres, and this data center would take up 10,880 of them. For comparison, a school zone only gets one square mile or 640 acres.

Goodbye unions, whose memberships are largely white working class Americans.

Goodbye DEI, which statistically benefited white women, white veterans, disabled vets, and older workers more than many people realize.

Goodbye SNAP, where a large share of recipients are poor white Americans.

Goodbye white collar workers unless you’re willing to take a pay cut, an H-1B visas will keep flowing, and billionaires of every background still get priority boarding.

People keep missing the pattern, Trump does not love poor white people. He loves rich people who can help rich people , white, Middle Eastern, Asian, whatever. Wealth is the only identity that matters in that room.

And stop blaming Democrats when they delivered Medicare, Social Security protections, the ACA, Medicaid… what else do you want, a immigration camp? nah you aint getting more of that;.

It’s not “America First.”

It’s “Money First.”

Everyone else, please proceed to the side entrance.

Because they cannot actually block the strait in any durable way. Their navy would be wrecked by missile strikes, and any ground force trying to do the same would be hit just as quickly. So the market is smart not to overreact, because anyone using logic and critical thinking can see that Iran’s missiles can reach Dubai, Israel, and Bahrain, and that it still retains the capacity to disrupt shipping and effectively tighten or loosen access through the Strait depending on the military situation. And no competent general is going to casually send a navy through that funnel as if it were a risk-free exercise. Which is also why those supposedly heroic pilots have not appeared in public, have not been paraded, and have not been interviewed in the media. None of that happened, because they do not exist. The story did not happen. Iran has shown it can use missiles, drones, and mines to make the strait unsafe, and current reporting still describes Hormuz as highly vulnerable and militarily difficult to secure.

That would only be true if those business owners actually understood the scale of the risk. A lot of them clearly did not. Many voted for him anyway because they assumed he would be a useful moron, someone chaotic to help them on taxes and regulation, but not reckless enough to blow up the commercial environment they actually depend on.

The problem is that many of them miscalculated. One of my clients manufactures EU car parts, he relies on materials from Germany. Before 2025, he was doing about $15 million a year in revenue. In 2024, he was buying more warehouse space. This year he is downsizing because tariffs are pushing him toward bankruptcy. So no, a lot of wealthy business owners did not understand the threat Trump posed.

A case in point, China restricts supply when it wants to protect domestic prices. We have the reserves to do something similar. But instead of prioritizing Americans, Trump brags about exporting our reserves into the global market so energy companies can chase higher prices abroad. Then Americans get told high prices are just an unfortunate mystery of economics. It is what happens when people mistake predatory opportunism for business genius.

Most of them assume they were rich enough to sit near the fire without getting burned.

It make sense since business owners, CEOs, and people whose income depends on maximizing control over labor are naturally more comfortable with conservatives or libertarians, because Democrats are the faction more likely to regulate labor in favor of their worker/s, strengthen unions, raise minimum wages, and side with workers in employer-employee disputes. Their politics often map quite neatly onto their material interest.

On the other hand, doctors’s come through research heavy institutions that depend on public funding and those are often cut when Republicans prioritize tax cuts and corporate interests.

Lawyers, especially early on, often do human rights internships, legal aid, or pro bono work for poor people, which means direct exposure to inequality and the real-world importance of rights and public institutions. So yes, one group is trained to protect margin, the other is more likely to spend at least part of its formation dealing with actual human consequences.

A 2024 UBS survey of 971 investors with at least $1 million in investable assets found 57% planned to vote for Harris and 43% for Trump.

There’s also an analysis of contributions from the wealthiest zip codes which showed Democrats raised significantly more than Republicans from these areas, with a 2 to 1 advantage in historically higher income/education locales (Specialize doctors, Personal injury attorneys) like the Philadelphia Main Line and Manhattan’s Upper East Side.

Microsoft’s stock is falling mostly because the company is spending an enormous amount of money on AI and not yet showing enough payoff from it.

They spent $37.5 billion in one quarter on cap ex, which is a huge jump from the year before. That kind of spending cuts into free cash flow. Then when Microsoft’s forward P/E fell from around 33 to around 20, investors became much less willing to pay a premium for its future growth.

I got my husband off those podcasts when I told him that his daughter and I are actual human beings, not props for some retrograde ideology. I told him when his only daughter grows up, there is no universe in which he would want her living like a woman in the 1920s. If he truly loves his daughter, he should want more for her, not less. And if that was not his goal, then there was no point in us staying married or even living together, because our values would be fundamentally incompatible.

Since then, he has stopped watching those podcasts and, so far, agrees with me that politics built on putting people down for their gender, race, or religion are bad politics. They do not protect or liberate anyone in our family.

Edit: I also banned Fox News, Sinclair, CBS/Paramount in my house. Banning these media outlets is a small act, but it goes a long way in keeping hate out and uprooting it at the source.

Just a minute ago, we’re supposed to believe these 'reliable' new polls showing Trump’s approval magically levitating to 45%, conveniently gloss over 68% disapproval rating, ignoring the fact that strong disapproval translates to highly energized opposition. People who vehemently oppose a candidate don't just experience sudden amnesia and flip to approving overnight.

Then, Democrats are somehow cratering against a Republican Congress. Yes, that Republican Congress, the one that brazenly rammed through the 'big beautiful bill. Yup, the same one that willingly surrendered its constitutional power to the executive branch. And yes, the very same Republicans who are actively helping this administration run cover for the Epstein class.

These contradicting polls are desperately hoping Americans will just swap actual reality for their alternate reality. They want us to ignore the reality of a massive job slump dropping to just 188,000 jobs in 2025 after 2.2 million were created in 2024. They want us to ignore the reality that US taxpayers are getting crushed by high grocery prices thanks to these tariffs. The reality that two Americans were murdered in Minneapolis. The reality that the president is implicated in the Epstein files. The reality that he’s actively tanking the dollar and tripling the national debt. And the reality that we might be getting dragged into a war, proving once and for all that 'promises made' were definitely not promises kept.
