@OldNewRight As long as he runs for Senate in 28 and does not do something idiotic like running for president.

@KenGardner11 Take it from a Georgian. Kemp ain’t your guy. He’s been extremely lucky and has had break after break and good fortune happen for him in his career. He’s also corrupt to the core, going back long before he hit the big time. He might look good on paper, but that’s it.

@PollTracker2024 A dream come true for liberals. Just like Nikki Haley. They’d be able to say to themselves, ‘oh wow, now that’s a person who doesn’t seem so despicable.’. Doing so would allow them to think of themselves as a ‘pragmatist’. And then they’d vote for the liberal anyway.

@HamptonPrezcott Kemp is a pretty ruthless and delusional politician. He’s been extremely lucky throughout his career, even long before he hit the big time. Things have always fallen into place and worked out for him. I imagine he thinks it’s his destiny.

@CineStrike @amandapalmer Correct

[Hopeful Georgian @MarkScar478]

@AzorianBlood YOU lost it all.

You assume that if your people are running, we will vote for them. Y’all are playing yourselves.

@beenormalforme Not trying to be confrontational, but name a single band in the last 25 years that is still making great records.

@JKash000 Could someone paraphrase the message here to me like I am 12?

@feelsdesperate Nail on the head.

You have to understand the KOL history from its inception. KOL had a major label recording deal before the first gig - before the band lineup was even complete. They were always going to swing for the fences commercially.

I think the problem for KOL is that artistically and commercially - there’s just nowhere else for them to go than right where they are. 2026 is far different than 2003, and incredibly different than 1994, when someone like Tom Petty (roughly KOL’s age at the time) was relevant and doing well and writing great songs. What does being relevant and doing well and writing great songs even mean in 2026? Literally no artist is doing that.

Simply put - I don’t think they are trying to make the best songs or albums anyone’s ever heard, because literally no one can do that in 2026. They’re trying to push forward and make records and keep the family business alive for those that are interested. They probably still make big paydays on festival slots. That’s where the bread is buttered.

I’m not the same guy I was in 2004, and I’d imagine none of them are either. If I acted like I did in 2004, it probably won’t work for me. Don Henley/Mike Campbell said it best: ‘out on the road today, I saw a Deadhead sticker on a Cadillac. A little voice inside my head said don’t look back, you can never look back’.

@RunsthroughGA @burtjonesforga @TPridemore Super weird take that it’s Burt’s fault Democrats won up and down the ballot, but you do you.

[Hopeful Georgian @MarkScar478]

@ForteDeiFinance @MizDonna69 1000% correct.

[Hopeful Georgian @MarkScar478]

@Comment404Primo @EWErickson How did it work out for you? If it was bad before it’s about to be really bad.

[Hopeful Georgian @MarkScar478]

@mjmccune412 @AnthonyMKreis According to who? The votes haven’t been counted yet.

[Hopeful Georgian @MarkScar478]

@EWErickson And when your RINOs get back in power, MAGA voters can continue to ‘just do things’. See how that works?

@JasonBateman666 @EWErickson You insist on writing the story before the story has been written. You should have learned that is a treacherous road.

New Jersey and Virginia are not good examples of the point that you are trying to make. The cavalry has not come home yet. Tuesday is four days away. I know that there are a lot of careers and so forth wrapped up in finally taking Trump down for going on 12 years now, but you are going to have to wait until probably Wednesday morning to prove your hypothesis.
