I might have to revise my core tenet that Nothing Good Ever Happens in Tom's River

mackenzievogt.net•82 days ago

If you are getting this in Toms River on a cold April day, this summer is gonna be nuts

magentab.bsky.social•82 days ago

THAT tom's river???

nwayne66.bsky.social•82 days ago

What?

fenderbellybodine.bsky.social•82 days ago

Tom's River is filled with suburban townies and retirees who only now care b/c their 401k is getting nuked. They get what they vote for.

Sometimes monkeys need to touch a stove to get pain.

phyl76.bsky.social•82 days ago

People are pissed. Maybe it took this for everyone to realize what we will lose. When you gave the Villages in Florida protesting, it says something.

escapedexplorer.bsky.social•82 days ago

Given all the turnout in smaller towns and such like this there's no way to accurately get a estimated total nationwide turnout that isn't a substantial undercount, right? Even IF you go by signups for the event, it's almost always a significantly smaller total.

escapedexplorer.bsky.social•82 days ago

Tried to do a rough ROUGH count of that video and holy shit it's literally hundreds of people. That's fucking bonkers.

This is Tom-approved.

Blue state residents really underestimate how much red state Democrats despise their neighbors.

loganhamberger.bsky.social•82 days ago

With the fire of a thousand suns, man.

primaryschool.bsky.social•82 days ago

this is blue state red county but yeah close enough

onbluskysku.bsky.social•82 days ago

This is the most Republican place I have ever knocked on doors. Like the Florida of New Jersey. Wild to see this.

Irony: the commercial playing in the background - national debt relief 😂

this country is primed to explode

susantraherne.bsky.social•82 days ago

Could we know where this is please? City County state?

theresaboulineau.bsky.social•82 days ago

Central New Jersey . . .

primaryschool.bsky.social•82 days ago

there is only one Toms River in the United States

susantraherne.bsky.social•82 days ago

and only one Cedar Mountain… so maybe we’ll both end up on DuckDuckGo to figure it out?

dabenner.bsky.social•82 days ago

You can see the license plates in the video

susantraherne.bsky.social•81 days ago

lol

Ocean County, New Jersey. Its a deeply red county in a blue state. Its made recent headlines national in the last few years for an annoying Trump store and recently a restaurant selling nazi cheeseburgers

primaryschool.bsky.social•82 days ago

Feels like this would correlate heavily with the Amtrak line

whetmoser.com•82 days ago

dang, that’s about how red it was where i grew up in swva

lauraeh.bsky.social•82 days ago

Ocean and Monmouth counties are a very weird area—exurbs of NYC.

primaryschool.bsky.social•82 days ago

kinda like SWVA, Ocean County was purple as recently as 2000 but took a hard right turn in the 21st century, except unlike SWVA it's having a population boom from conservative retirees and Orthodox Jews

groverhaustenbosch.bsky.social•81 days ago

i'd heard that ocean county gets a ton of "55+ active communities" but not so much about the orthodox jews part

primaryschool.bsky.social•81 days ago

Lakewood is a city of 135-150k (nobody trusts the Census numbers there) that's majority Orthodox Jewish by population and surrounding towns including Toms River all have significant highly conservative Orthodox Jewish populations of their own

groverhaustenbosch.bsky.social•81 days ago

damn that's giant for a NJ municipality, larger than edison

convolutedname.bsky.social•82 days ago

Agedep is real

orion-moonstone.bsky.social•82 days ago

I have family near Tom's River. Last we spoke they were saying how conservative the area had gotten since they moved there back in the 90's. Good to see people are starting to recover from that darned maga mind virus! ^_^

falconmontgomery.bsky.social•82 days ago

A lot of those southern NJ republicans are gonna find out the hard way about the consequences of their choices. The textile factories aren't coming back, and the local machine shop is gonna be 6ft in the dirt by July.

richferba.bsky.social•81 days ago

Toms River? That is equal parts weird and awesome

dmas01.bsky.social•82 days ago

I'm really surprised as well. Toms River is Staten Island South. I bet there are a few people who voted for Dump out there.

wtf that's like my hometown
