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’m just going to keep writing this horse until it fucking dies but the very first thing he did was take everything Obama did during his presidency and throw it out the window, including the pandemic playbook.

      That playbook would have given us step by step instructions and reactions to deal with any type of suddenly erupting national pandemic like Ebola or coronavirus.

      And because of this, which was by all measures a racially motivated attack on Obama, more than 1 million Americans died in a badly managed pandemic.

      Trump’s racism killed a million Americans.

      It undoubtedly exacerbated the problem for the entire world and his total kill count is likely much more than that.

      How can you let somebody who genocided millions of people through racism sit in the oval office?

        It’s a cult. They have people denying COVID ever existed. Heartily rejecting vaccines.

        There’s just too much to list but it only ever makes sense if you take whatever he’s doing as right and readjust everyone around him to work does it ever make sense.

        The fact that this election is even close is absolutely insane to me.

    Hahahahhahahaha you think Trump is the last guy to feel threatened by? The dude was just the starter. There’s a whole movement now with tons of corrupt politicians who will try to get a shot at the presidency. I’m thinking about the Florida governor for example.

    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.

      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.

        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.

    There’s surely no chance he can win… the last fortnight has been an utter shit show… I can’t see how it would even be a contest to be honest

    I wonder if those folks who cast a protest vote for Jill Stein will be sleeping soundly tonight… I sure hope not. I hope they’re fucking terrified.

      Of course they are sleeping soundly. They’d literally be marching into the camps convinced they did the right thing.

    Honestly, I doubt it. Even if he loses, he’s still going to be spewing his mouth diarrhea nonstop and his cult will still believe the shit he says. Also, I’m thinking the Republican party will continue his shit. He created a new Republican party. They’ll keep pushing candidates who will act and do shit like him since he’s been very successful in fooling his base.
