These might be the good old days. Go outside, feel the grass, say wassup to your neighbors,… whatever you do that means community, because sh*t might get bad for a while.

I just hope if he loses, it’s by a wide margin so there’s no challenge. Just decisive victory and we can all move on….

Don’t underestimate their tactic. For the republican presidential campaign, they will recognize only one of two outcomes: victory, or election tampering/fraud/manipulation. And, the wider the margin of win, the stronger the rhetoric will be.

Trump insisted he won the popular vote in 2016. That was him setting this whole thing up.

As long as he loses I think it’s mostly good. He currently does not hold the levers of power, and I think as much as his supporters like to play the victim, I think a second loss will lead to evaporating support. Hard to pretend to be a strongman when you look weak

A second loss should be a death knell of the current Republican party. He won’t transition any of his power to Vance or any other Republicans. He could die and we still would see 10% of the Americans to vote for him in 2028 because his death was just media propaganda as far as they are concerned.

I can easily see the party fracture, Republicans and MAGA. If they do split it may be a while before they come back into power.

Stop teasing me with best case scenarios.

His breakfast Big Mac could still go down wrong this morning.

His rallies have fizzled and I suspect this year (unlike 2016) a lot of these attendees were paid for their attendance, hence the common early exodus we have seen from his “supporters”.

Expect the challenge. I’ve been watching the usual suspects on Twitter, they’re completely bwashed into thinking there’s only one possible outcome, and if it goes against them it means there’s been election fraud. They’re already calling it a landslide.

This, after ten years of this orange baboon dominating the headlines and flinging shit everywhere I’m ready for it to end.

I hoped for his removal.

I voted Trump but I completely agree. We need a landslide, even if Harris wins. Anything else gives the bad actors on either side fuel for an already out of control fire.

Sorry, but I just had to take a peek at your profile. You claim to be on an autism spectrum, yet you voted for a man who will - as the first order of business - make your very life extremely miserable.

That is my take. May I ask what is yours?

I’ve never been one to believe fake political fear mongering bullshit. The right does it too. He’s not Hitler. He’s not going to go after disabled people. It’s bullshit lies. We’re getting more of his first 4 years if he wins.

I sure hope that’s the case. Are there any particular resolutions you hope he can pull through in his term?

Im hoping his foxus is on dropping energy prices mixed with lowering taxes on tips or overtime or social security. I know he wants to do all 3 but we know all 3 probably won’t happen because that’s how our politics works. Nothing ever happens fast

You do realize that lowering the energy prices will be at a cost of dropping climate policies? Are you not worried about the earth changing drastically as we speak?

so basically the entire reason you voted for trump is schizophrenic economics. When you could’ve voted for kamala harris, who has actual real tangible economic policy.

It dosen’t say what Trump said.

Former President and current Republican nominee Donald Trump has been accused of once saying that it may be better for people living with serious disabilities to “just die.” The startling revelation was laid out in a new book authored by Trump’s nephew Fred Trump III the son of the former President’s older brother Fred Trump Jr who passed away in 1981.

What we need is to slow down and take everything slowly. Don’t rush and recount and investigate if needed.

Trump will challenge no matter what the margin is, if he loses. He will never concede because he’s a narcissistic loser and his moron followers will blindly do his bidding, especially on the next January 6.

If we are being honest I suspect this election will be tight. Let’s try not to pull a democrat this time. In 2020 they voted to uphold the election without any recounts because there was a democrat majority in Congress. When you are elected leader it is your job to serve the people. They should’ve at least looked into Trumps claims even if they were fabricated.

They did… and found nothing except an occasional republican fraud. The facts don’t matter to facists.

They should’ve at least looked into Trumps claims even if they were fabricated.

to be clear, trump has made 10x the amount of public claims, privately, every single one was either incredibly illegal. Or fucking wrong. Not a single one was correct.

Tbh I’m honestly kinda surprised that electoral fuckery wasn’t even needed.
