Color me unsurprised.

Where is that anon again who thought "mostly young" would outweigh "mostly white" and "rich" and "steeped in misogynistic culture" in NHL players so that, if they're voting, they probably won't be voting Trump??

NA

I'm not surprised either, but this one's almost worse imo because Domi the Canadian can't even vote in this election.

Neal is also Canadian? He's the one who kicked off this meme's rounding up of Trump supporters.

But while I'm here, I should say that Ryan Whitney, Hal Gill, Ryan Suter, Mike Fisher & Bobby Ryan demonstrably all have conservative politics and if they're American - tbh I don't know if any but Ryan are off the top of my head, and I am too lazy to check - then I assume they're all voting Trump.

AYRT

Ah missed that post about Neal.

I do wonder if "conservative" and "Trump voter" can really be equated, though. I know a lot of religious conservatives who are just planning on staying home on election day because they won't vote Dem but they hate Trump.

Re: Gossip and off-ice lives

People I know who were supporting Jeb or Rubio are also planning not to vote, or just vote in Senate/House races.

I feel like traditional conservatives who really think and feel deeply about their politics might ~vote their conscience or not turn out for Trump. But I think most people who have typically voted Republican in the past will vote for Trump, just because. And then there are those conservatives who were always more on the bigotry side of things anyway. Ryan Whitney, for example, was a dick about BLM early last year, over something like their protests blocking traffic iirc.

I wish that real-life Ryan Suter more closely resembled the romanticized Ryan Suter that lives in my brain.

You can also add the Oshie family to Trump supporters.

What?

Re: Gossip and off-ice lives

So far none of the names are people I care about in Fandom.

Good for you, have a medal?

Re: Gossip and off-ice lives

I mostly just really do not give a fuck about the alleged political leanings of people I don't know if they aren't spewing predjudice across social media. I'm way too busy to care about Instagram likes.

Re: Gossip and off-ice lives

[(Anonymous)]

For real? Ugh that takes the shine off.

Re: Gossip and off-ice lives

[(Anonymous)]

Why is it worse? I'm thinking "well, whatever, he can't vote for Trump anyway"

Re: Gossip and off-ice lives

[(Anonymous)]

No one was saying that? They were saying you couldn't assume all the hockey players were likely Trump supporters.

Re: Gossip and off-ice lives

[(Anonymous)]

This is a Trump-like distortion of the truth, I hope you know.

Someone said most American NHLers would vote Trump. Then there absolutely was an anon citing polls to argue "young white men don't like Trump ergo most American NHLers will not vote Trump".

Re: Gossip and off-ice lives

[(Anonymous)]

I would say those are both pretty big jumps in logic.

Re: Gossip and off-ice lives

[(Anonymous)]

There absolutely was not. People were citing polls, that most of them probably weren't registered to vote, and that not all conservatives were voting for Trump, etc. as reasons people didn't have to assume NHL equals Trump voter. No one was saying they knew who anyone was voting. The only thing Trump-like here is your extremist interpretation. But if it makes you happier to assume most NHLers are Trump voters, you do you, nonny.
