“Why did Nevada and Arizona turn blue? Because the people of California have turned their state into a garbage dump.”
The US presidential election is the main topic of the week. In the midst of the counting of votes, the leadership from Donald Trump was seized by Joe Biden. At once in several states, voters were divided almost equally: in Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Georgia, Arizona. Trump is about to contest the count, so there’s still a bit of intrigue. The Daily Storm asked Russian Americans who they voted for and what they expect if Biden wins.
Vasilina, Educator, Arizona: “Trump isn’t so bad after all. Previously, many cars had ads: “Any adequate adult, but not Trump.” But opinion has changed. In recent days, I have seen only one campaign that supported Biden.

Arizona vote distribution (November 6)
It’s strange that Democrats are in the lead in the state. Trump has done a lot, especially for small businesses: paid compensation, did not let the abyss. It was the same with us. We run a private kindergarten, it was opened by Russian girls 12 years ago. Now we are at jobs, but if Biden comes to power, taxes will skyrocket, this will completely stifle entrepreneurs. Yesterday our director was crying. Under the Democrats, the garden is likely to close.
Some have already lost their jobs. I communicate with Russian-speaking Jews – shoemakers, hairdressers – at the peak of the coronavirus, they all closed. But Trump helped the unemployed a lot: in addition to the basic allowance, they received up to $ 740 every week. Plus benefits for low-income families. You wake up in the morning and $1,200 has dropped into your account.
Actually, I am a democrat and many here are democrats. My ex-husband, an American, voted for Biden. His gay friend also chose Biden. But the rest of the friends were divided in their views. Americans have embraced Trump. Of course, sometimes he talks some nonsense, but now people are choosing a platform, and the Republicans are choosing a more profitable path.
Biden, of course, also behaves strangely… And it’s not even that he forgets or confuses words. He recently stated: “I will do everything to overcome the coronavirus. ” It’s like Trump is doing nothing, like Biden is going to end it all.”
Andrew, student, reserve sergeant, Georgia: “Honestly, I’m just in shock. I already find it difficult to say what preferences are in my state. Georgia is traditionally a Republican state. But now Biden and Trump are even.
Looking at this whole year and the events that took place in it, I thought people would make the right choice. But most are used to thinking superficially.

I lived in Minnesota for a whole year. It was from there that the discontent and the surge of the Black Lives Matter movement began. Minnesota is a Democratic state. When the riots broke out, the mayor of the city and the governor of the state did nothing to immediately stop the protests. After all, it is their electorate that smashes shop windows, and you need to be more affectionate with voters! My friend is a police officer in Minneapolis, he knows firsthand about the brutality of the crowd. When the protesters set fire to the police station, he was there.
As a result, crime has risen, business has gone, and some residents have simply moved away. I thought the whole country would finally see what chaos is going on in democratic states, and make the right choice. In Atlanta, the capital of Georgia, there were also protests, but literally on the second or third day they brought in the National Guard and calmed everyone down.
By the way, during the debate, Trump directly asked if Biden supports antifa (radical left organizations. – Note by Daily Storm). Biden tried to evade, saying that these were just associations, and he described the past protests as peaceful. It is also important that in many states Democrats are in favor of reducing the police. I’m afraid the next rallies will follow a completely different scenario.
The situation is similar with the coronavirus. When a pandemic was announced in March, a mini-panic began in the states. Democrats soon turned it in their favor. In April, Trump announced that governors could decide for themselves what to do with their state. If they think it is possible to open schools and businesses, then let them open them. In all the “red” states, the governors returned to normal life quite quickly (restrictions on masks and distance, of course, remained). But the Democrats kept quarantine to the last. The fact is that in four years, Trump has greatly reduced the unemployment rate, especially among the black population. And the blacks are the electorate of the Democrats, it is not beneficial for the “blues” that everything is fine with African Americans. During the pandemic, people became embittered, impoverished, and an association arose that the president was to blame. A very tricky game. The Democrats brought down the economy, which Trump raised for four years. And then the tension increased.
(Ironically, few people now remember that it was the Democrats who in the 1890s introduced a law on racial segregation: it was forbidden for blacks to travel with whites on the train, to visit hospitals, schools, libraries with them. In the 1970s, consciousness turned over, Democrats suddenly became liberators, and Republicans racists).
It seems to me that infantile people often vote for Democrats. Voters get emotional, tick off the ballot, and then drive away. Why did Nevada and Arizona turn blue? Because the people of California have turned their state into a garbage dump: high taxes, a bunch of illegal immigrants, scourges. When it became unbearable for them, they moved to neighboring states – Nevada and Arizona. Californians moved, but they took their mentality with them and vote, as before, for the Democrats. Thus, they turn the state into a new California, from which they will travel further.
I’m surprised by Georgia’s choice, but I don’t rule out that the numbers could be falsified. There is no uniform order in elections. For example, in our state, you need to register online and show your ID at the site. A “warrior” will do. It has people with a residence permit, that is, even non-citizens can leave a vote. In other states, it is enough to present a utility bill and thereby “confirm” your residence in the region.
Agitation also played a big role. What Trump hasn’t been able to do in four years is beat the media. People just repeat what they hear on TV: they say Trump is a racist, a fascist, but they don’t prove it in any way. The word “racism” began to be thrown right and left, sometimes without putting any meaning into it.”
Laysan, entrepreneur, Wyoming: “Wyoming is a fully Republican state with farmers and business people. However, I live in the city of Jackson, it is a small blue dot on the map of the “red” state. My husband and I were very rooting for Trump, but we have already calmed down and are ready to accept any choice.
Biden wins because he yells about welfare payments, but where will he get the money for them? Naturally, the entrepreneurs, the middle class. Under Democrats, income tax will jump from 24% to 28%.

Trump is a businessman who will never bring the country to ruin. Early in his term, he cut the welfare payments that were in effect under Obama, and did so defiantly. As a result, the unemployment rate has decreased. Those people who were waiting for help (primarily the black population) got up and went to work – they had no other choice. For Trump, this is the perfect alignment. He himself, probably, did not spend a day without work.
Unfortunately, many people simply do not like Trump, so they vote for the opponent. Why is Arizona vehemently opposed to him? Because Trump constantly had graters with McCain (a former senator from Arizona. – Note. Daily Storm). And McCain did a lot for his state.
To be honest, we still hope Trump wins. Biden at this age can take a break from politics … Fortunately, the Senate remained Republican. Whoever becomes president will not be allowed to legislate left and right.”
