If Harris wins, Trump loses. That much is certain. Can’t say much about what will happen next, because there’s no real way of knowing.
Also, is nobody going to mention how typically, the incumbent stays as the next candidate, while the contender from the last election is replaced, because they were clearly not good enough for a win?
While this time, It’s the opposite: the last winner stepped down, the last loser is a candidate once more. Isn’t that weird???
Same as ever. Someone will organize protest and then the same bad faith actor will also organize counter protests. Predictably, the police will be on the Republicans side.
TBH, of there’s going to be a right/left battle, the sooner the better - though, i expect there will be some noise, and the Democrats won’t change, and the Republicans won’t change, and tensions will continue to grow until abated via another avenue.
There might be another Capitol Riot-style clownshow, but like the first time, nothing of real significance will happen. A few zealots and or cops might die, but nothing rising to the level of a “blood bath”, let alone a “civil war”.
I don’t think Trump was being literal when he said bloodbath though. It’s a common English idiom.
What I’d like is for Kamala to get in office and appoint a wicked sharp attorney general who would aggressively prosecute anyone associated with Jan 6 and Trumps many other crimes.
However, I predict Trump will get off scott free as he always has and continue being a rallying focus point for the extreme right wing. But there will be no widespread uprising. There will be legal challenges to the election, which will all fail.
If Trump survives long enough he’ll try to run again in 2028, and if he can’t run he’ll try to mess things up for any republican candidate. He’ll continue to throw a monkey wrench into any legislation that would make Democrats look good, either to improve his chances next election or just for spite.
Trump had 61 court cases alleging election interference and voter fraud, and every last one was immediately thrown out during discovery because he provided no evidence. Thankfully completely bullshit claims do still fall flat in the us justice system.
However, the fake electors scheme was a very real coups attempting to subvert democracy, and we have plenty of evidence on it. I’d love for Harris to appoint an aggressive AG who will work tirelessly to ensure this doesn’t happen again because of the consequences for treason.
there will be much rejoicing
Ideally? He flees the country like a coward, and the Republican party implodes under the strain of infighting to be his successor.
It will probably be the same as when he lost last time.
I think the bomb threats in Ohio after the dumbass pet eating lies were spread is a preview.
Trumptards already saw their insurrection didn’t work and that prison is the consequence. Trump admitted that he lost the 2020 election and many of those cultists are mad about it. So I don’t think we will have a repeat of the Capitol attack, instead we may have some assorted terrorist threats and attacks. Hopefully if that does happen, it will further drive them into obscurity because normal people tend to not like terrorism.
Probably not, but it might be worse in terms of brutality against police.
This time there will be massive security at place in critical locations. So probably no invasion of government buildings, but it might end worse in terms of violence.
In my local area, a lot of the people that were violent went to the Jan 6th and got arrested. So they are still in jail. I’m not seeing the ralleys like I did last time. Its interesting. The signs are still there, but it feels like a more “normal” election. But thats just my local area, no idea what others are experiencing.
Trump will go back to his hole and die angry. Goodbye.
He should wither and die in prison.
This will be the final result, but I’m just hoping his angry little mouth will say something treasonous enough to get him jail time.
Sry to be that guy but there’s currently basically no way for him to get in jail by saying bad things.
Speech is never enough to prove insurrection or similar charges and the supreme court ruling on presidential immunity makes hard to get in trouble, even if there’s actions to prove he’s inciting something.
Russia releases the compromat
If Harris ins a small percentage of MAGA doughebags will embarrass the GOP further by getting violent. It will be over after a few days.
If it’s close the Supreme Court will steal the election for Trump. Kamala needs a blowout victory and I just don’t think that’s in the cards.
Oodles of historical precedent, too. All it takes is a few faithless electors. Hillary won by 3 mil, I don’t care enough about democrat collaborators to look up how much Gore won by. All it takes is a few crackers to throw the election.
I will cry with relief. I just can’t do another four years of him again. My stomach is in knots already. I have a LGBT kid. I can’t have her growing up oppressed. Having a rapist for a president is a joke.
Having a rapist for a president is a joke.
I’ve got bad news for you
It’s like they forgot about how MeToo got Old Yeller’d the minute someone accused Genocide Joe. They was out here like “we already gave up Franken we’re not giving up the kidsniffer”.
Low effort, brain dead take
Exact same here. We’re working out a contingency plan, actually.
Take us with you? I need to at least head back to a blue state.
A blue state? I’m going to try to get out of this country. Everywhere that’s not a financial or educational hot spot is deep red.
FYI, it’s not easy or simple to move to another country and is, frankly, unrealistic for most people.
Don’t worry, they’ll do it for you. He let slip the use of the word “remigration” recently.
I know. I feel like I’ve missed my opportunity, but have been trying to do so for a while now. COVID fucked everything up last time.
Funnily enough, my wife and I along with some friends have floated the “compound” idea in the mountains or somewhere like that. We’d each have jobs and grow food and such.
But seriously, we’re trying to think of a plan if things go south in November. We’re in a very red state (thanks, hillbillies!), so fuck this place.
We must be close. I’m TN.
What kind of food can you grow in the mountains? Other than berries? This knowledge can become useful.
You can grow just about anything with the right setting. Greenhouses and seasonal vegetables in gardens. I’m not the expert in that, but when we lived in CO, there were plenty of fresh veggies available up there.
I forgot greenhouses exist… I’d be terrible at this. Need a new plan for zombie apocalypse.
“He doesn’t think that elections are a real thing. He doesn’t think that elections are legitimate, and he doesn’t want an American form of government in which elections decide whether or not he’s in power because he doesn’t believe election results should be binding.”
“Meet the new boss, same as the old boss”. Ours will still be a genocidal nation of thieves. Nothing of worth or import will change, except the amount of blood on democrat hands. Which will only accumulate further, and faster.
The crimes of this guilty land will never be washed away but with blood.
