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.

Trump and team don't need to win the election. They just need to make it tainted with enough irregularities that it forms the basis for the entire thing to be called into question. Even if that evidence is created by them. And this time they're more prepared for that outcome. They've had years to work on his scenario.

The court cases and investigations will go on for years.

Doesn't need to win a vote at all.

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.

USA is a country with a lot of inequality, if not rising inequality, so a fertile breeding ground for populists. And it has an ancient voting system that always gives a two party system so perfect for this kind of polarisation. The system with campaign contributions will also make sure nothing changes about inequality and is making things worse. Yeah, it'll happen again.

The voting system is so insane. I mean sure, back in the 18th century it made sense due to the travel required, but the fact that americans still use a voting system from that time says it all really...

You’re right in concept but DeSantis utterly fizzled nationally. Even in Florida he’s aging like last week’s fish.

I like your optimism but I think he was just the test run.

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.

We might be living the final moments of not being terrified what the US President is going to do

Come on dude... I live with that since I can understand the world, US can introduce democracy to my country in any moment doesn't matter who is the fucking president.

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.
