Almost surely nobody will call it tonight but it's clear at this point. I'm ordering food.

With that county breakdown of GA you have to think Biden will be ahead at the end of the count, maybe by a couple thousand.

Not really. Cuban-Americans should be terrified of authoritarian dictators, not socialists. And Trump is far closer to being an authoritarian dictator than Biden is.

Trump's lead in GA just slightly increased to 1805, after a tranche of 1375 votes came in that were 51% for Trump.

Forsyth (Trump +34): 1,545
Cobb (Biden +14): 700
Taylor (Trump +27): 456
Floyd (Trump +42: 444

It's also worth remembering that Biden is vastly outperforming those numbers in mail-in ballots in those Trump counties. For instance in the last batch from Forsyth (Trump +34), Biden got 63% of the votes and was over 50% in the previous, larger batch from there.
It’s very reasonable that Biden’s margins are so high even in Trump counties when you think about it. If 50% of democrats are mail in voters and 20% of republicans are (numbers made of for example) then even in a 65/35 county you’d expect about 73% of the mail ins to be democrat. (.50*35 vs .10*65)

It’s not all that intuitive though so you will people pointing out that string democrat mail ins in red districts is a sign of fraud.

Yeah that sounds about right. If the remaining votes match the existing share in each county exactly, Biden would gain 2,698 votes, putting him up about 900 votes. But Biden has generally outperformed his overall share with the mail-in votes, so it'd likely be higher. He'd need about 63% of the remaining votes to end up with a 2K lead.

Michael Rappaport has been doing videos like that for a long time now. They're always hilarious. I think he's a big unhinged himself but it's good stuff.

McCarthyism killed off communism. It was Ronald Reagan that killed off socialism. The propaganda campaign run against the American people poisoned the minds of a country against a word and a concept they don't understand. Even though the country adores many socialistic institutions (big military, medicare, police, fire, etc.) and endorse corporate socialism, they just cringe at the mention of the term and immediately think of the iron curtain and the failings of eastern Europe. Have to remember that this was the time of "trickledown economics" and the embracement of greed and the market. Everyone wanted to defeat the Soviets at all costs and then become Gordon Gecko. Sad times.

So that takes out 1/3rd of the remaining votes from Trump counties with almost no net loss in votes to Biden. If the remaining votes match their county breakdown, Biden would see a net gain of 3,100 votes.

No, Macarthyism was just a symptom of the dislike of socialism in the US, it goes back to the dirty thirties, maybe beyond that
