Serious post here, what are your predictions? Do the US sign on for a subscription to Hitler or Hitler+? What makes you believe this?

My take: Harris eeks out a victory, based on the vibes I get. She may flip NC too. I think that second part because the overall trend of polling has had her slowly increasing on average there. AZ is flipping back to Trump this go around.

Second possibility I see is that the electoral college shenanigans the GOP is angling for in NE actually results in the first ever tie. Supreme court gives it to Trump even though he loses the popular vote. Libs say "ah well, never the less".

Either way, I think there's going to be hog riots in MI, PA, and NC if it flips.

I really think we will end up with Harris but only because Trump just isn't funny enough this time. He's lost touch tbh

He's really not funny anymore. He also has no clue how to talk about policy in the general region of Palestine without doing like 8 tropes about the Jews and how much he did "for them." And on abortion he's been forced into this totally made up shit about "everybody hating Roe v Wade" and he solved the issue!...

Trump preemptively blaming the Jews for his potential defeat was pure poetry

trump-moist still has a coin-toss chance because the needle of approval hasn't even budged no matter how shriveled and dry and low energy he's become. His supporters are roughly the same way. That's their guy.

Yea the people voting for him like the fact that he's barely intelligible because the less coherent he is the more it pisses off the libs when they say they're still boring for him.

That and elevating a demented embodiment of white privellage above a (at least on paper) reasonably competent black women is kinda their whole deal. Showing that mediocre white men are still at the top of the pyramid is very important to mediocre white people.

Like unless Trump wakes up and is literally transformed into a black female that starts talking about institutional racism he's their guy. Hell he could start saying he's a black women and his base would fucking love it, it would increase his support.
