Adult coloring is different than childhood coloring. I sometimes do it as a hobby.

I suffer from anxiety.

Are you a teen or a young adult of college age (22 and under)?

I don’t have a problem with an adult releasing tension and anxiety by doing various actions. I like to stack things (coins, petri plates are work, etc.). And I like to sort things.

What I see young people (our lab students, who are in college) coloring at work is children’s coloring books.
 
I’m middle aged.

But these are the types of coloring books that are popular. They have them at Barnes and Nobel, at the checkout stand in the supermarket, Target.

I never see other types.

My guess is that has more to do with conservatives being more comfortable in mass gatherings right now than progressives.

Really? Out in my area we had all kinds of lefties in the streets over BLM.

Here they’re mostly masked. If it were me, I wouldn’t feel safe at a Trump rally. Too many people without masks and I’m old enough to be in the high risk category.

One need only look to the rallies Trump us having to see that.

Yes, but he is having to do rallies in places he shouldn’t have to.

And rallies don’t really gauge broad support. They just show there’s enough people to fill up a hanger where he goes. And, remember, a majority of Americans have never approved of him. Makes it hard to win. He threaded the needle last time. Can he do it again?

I think that voters are differentiating between approving his personal style which can be abrasive and approving of his policies which have reduced unemployment (lowest in 50 years until Covid hit) approving of his halting travel from China early in the Covid situation )despite resistance and taunts from many democratic legislators) , approving of his foreign policy (which has renounced NAFTA (which had been created under Democrat led regime) , and his successes in Middle Eastern diplomacy.
Then there is approval for filling the Supreme Court positions (hopefully with justices whose interpretation of the Constitution will rein in Executive Orders which are skewing power away from our system of checks and balances, his support for the most marginalized and endangered among us (children in the womb) and his support for parental authority and a competitive environment for educational theory and delivery (charter schools).
My vote for Mr. Trump last election was a vote for the courts (both district, federal, supreme) and he has handily delivered. I am pleasantly surprised to discover that other policies of his have proven beneficial.
This election I will be voting for the courts and for these policies.

It had better be a landslide victory for Mr. Trump – otherwise, the opposition will be tying this election up in court until Kingdom comes.
 
If Trump wins?

I see the same scenario. The media would do a soul search for a few days and go right back at Orange man bad.

What an offensive comment.

I’m sorry you feel that way. But I can assure you that none of those words that you quote from my post are inaccurate. (See links below) What’s really disturbing is that twenty-somethings would have to be treated like kindergartners simply because an election result didn’t go their way!

Ii think that’s your take. Once again, less than half the electorate voted for him and less than half approve of him. So, less than half. Any way you look at it.

Why do you have to couch that in partisan terms? If it’s a landslide either way, I think both sides will have a harder time disputing the result.

So, I’m hoping for a landslide.

Those are good questions. This is my opinion…

With all that it is going on, rally attendance can give a glance to their support. I keep hearing that he gets a lot more people than Biden. If that be a measure, it points to Trump. That is if the measure is how many people attend your rallies.

As for Americans not approving of Trump, this is where things get tricky. Yes his likeness approval is low, and compared to Biden, well, Biden knock this one out the park. But, What I do see and this is in my small little world, quite a few people that I know, that can not stand Trump, but will be voting for him. Go figure. How will that play out? We will see.

Can he do this again? Hard to tell, Trump has a lot more support than he did in 2016. Way much more, but Biden is not Hillary. People disliked Hillary and Trump, the media is in love with Biden and that does sway votes, and Biden is a true politician, he knows how to get votes. 47 years in politics, you wrote the book, no?

The better question is. IF and that is IF, Trump wins. Will people distrust the media more? And will depending on how much he wins by. Will the media change tune?

I don’t think the polls show that.

I think if Trump wins that institutions we used to trust (Media, law enforcement, civil service etc) will be marginalized by Trump and his henchmen.

ok, I should had been more clear. I do not mean that Trump has massive support. I mean that for instance, 90+ % of Republicans approve. That is huge. I do not know what previous candidates had. But I know Trump had just over half, no? in 2016. His approval is higher than 2016 as well. He was in the 30’s and is close to 50 now. That means he has a lot more support.
 
PaulinVA said:
I had to look at the polls on that. I think it’s lower overall, although you are right, the Republicans that are left are very loyal.

If you see that chart. Did not Trump had like a 30+ approval? So he now has 42.6. It is more support. But where is the evidence that Republicans are leaving the party? I mean, other than the career politicians.

How many people have left either party? Or switched Party? I heard a commentator say that republicans are not getting new registered voters, but what they are getting is democrats switching to republicans.

How true is that stuff? I do not know. My search skills are horrible.
 
There is nothing likable about Biden.I doN’t believe I have ever heard Trump yell at the debates and all Biden does is yell in an angry strict tone.I guess he thinks that makes him sound strong and tough.

.
 
But he needs more than Republicans to win. He needs independents, and he has been turning them off with his doubling down on appeals to his base (who he already owns).

I am not saying that he will win. My point is that comparisons to 2016 are not good. Biden is not Hillary, she was not liked very much, and now in 2020 Trump is liked more than he was in 2016.

That is what I mean that it is not the same as 2016, but sure does feel like it.
