Let chaos reign. Let the seat of the dark god of capital lose its mandate and plunge into political upheaval.
Anyway, share your favorite chaotic scenarios or predictions for the coming shitshow. I only remember one.
Trump wins the popular vote but loses the electoral college. This one is cool because the political parties have to flip their programming overnight about the electoral college and we get to see new brainworms develop for how the American democracy was corrupted (how can it be corrupted if it was always an oligarchic dictatorship of capital?).
Will there be recounts? How many states will have stop the steal rallies to intimidate poll workers in non-hwite areas? Will Biden declare martial law when
returns on January 6th 2: January 7th? How racist will both political parties get when they lose? Find out ~~next week on~~ over the next week and stay tuned until the season finale on January 20th.
I would so badly like to see this. tbh until this election, I didn't realize how much of a bugbear maintaining the electoral college was for chuds (I knew about Trump losing the popular vote in 2016 but didn't think republicans thought about it that much) and it was funny seeing people who ostensibly hate "government red tape" suddenly inventing the flimsiest, most tenuous reasons for why we need to keep doing this convoluted bullcrap. "rUsSiA DoEsN'T HaVe aN ElEcToRaL CoLlEgE SyStEm aNd iT'S A DiCtAtOrShIp" yeah I think there's more to their problems than that lol
It would be incredibly funny if the right-wing immigration into Texas and Florida shifted the electoral college towards Democrat's favor.
Other funny possibilities: Harris wins two turns, Thomas, Alito and Roberts retire or die from the supreme court, and the Democrats secure a durable supermajority on the court. Republicans proceed to have a meltdown about how we need to reform all these shitty, undemocratic systems. Democrats already worship institutions, so it's easy to imagine Lin Manuel Miranda writing bars about the wisdom of the founding fathers.
Harris gets to 270, but then Nebraska changes the rules to after the election to change the electoral college allotment to winner takes all, throwing the election to a Republican controlled House of Representatives. Even more chaotic if the Supreme Court intervenes to allow it.
That reminds me that I forgot about faithless electors. All it takes is a few MAGA/khive sleeper cells to activate at the electoral college to throw a wrench in everything. Imagine the meltdown if the electors just do whatever they want and we get
.
It only takes one faithless elector to completely overturn the result of a 270-268 election!
The khive does Jan 6 and this time it’s actually a successful coup
Brunch becomees mandatory
They attack the police with 120$ a dozen donuts from a boutique donut shop on Martha's vinyard, securing the total support of the DC cops.
Harris wins but before inauguration, someone manages to assassinate Trump. In respect for the fallen hero, Harris cedes her victory to Vance, the next and last American president.
Biden dies on election night, Harris loses, Trump gets got the day after inauguration, Vance is fucking a couch in the Fuhrerbunker and doesn't find out he's president until like March.
This is how Bernie still win
Israel nukes a location with Trump, Biden, Harris and Vance.
Cheney activates the continuity procedures developed twenty years ago and finally assumes the presidency.
Oh it said Cheney on the paper, but it didn't specify which Cheney
Liz Cheney suplexes her dad thru a collapsible table. The commentators go crazy
Frankly it's about time US politics embraces WWE-style programming
Jesse Ventura for pres!
(I know Trump is in the hall of fame, but he doesn't count. I've never seen him even do a simple atomic legdrop, let alone a tombstone or even just suplex a leprechaun. Can you really call yourself a wrestler if you haven't done that?)
Even split due to 137 faithless electors, some shoots Buttigeg which unites the nation. All elections cancelled
