“But as Trump’s running mate, J. D. Vance, once wrote for The Atlantic, Trump is ‘cultural heroin,’ and the hard choice of civic virtue will never match the rush of racism, hatred, and revenge that Trump offers in its place.”

Can’t link to it here but excellent video on YouTube this week by Anthony Davis of Five Minute News: Title is “Trump’s fake polls aren’t stopping Kamala’s genuine popularity.” Well worth watching then sharing. Is posted on my Threads feed.

20+ Years in news and journalism I don't trust polls.
Polls are be misleading—it's about who was asked, how questions were framed, and the timing. They often turn real issues into a numbers game, fueling horserace journalism that focuses on winners and losers instead of the deeper story.
Always question the data—headlines don’t always show the truth.
Been watching this guy's videos for months. He has had braces on the entire time.
The week he posted his first video without them and it felt like a plot twist.
