I have always said that these people are acting like they know that they aren't going anywhere. I enjoy all of the hopium in the polls, but those with the most to lose are sure digging themselves some deep ass graves to leave this whole thing to chance.
More like 9/12/01We have been in a Constitutional Crisis since January 20th 2017 y'all.
Democracy in the US continues to be a joke.
The bad guys just saying "nope" is all it took.

Which goes to show just how terrible our constitution is. We need a new one badly. There is no punishment or accountability from law enforcement or voters built into the constitution. It's old and garbage.
The problem is that the leadership reflects on the voters. If voters are ignorant and bigoted then their representatives will reflect that. Germany's approach is to educate the populace so history doesn't repeat itself.The Nazis took over Germany slowly and mostly legally over a number of years. They engaged in the democratic process and debated their way into various positions of power, made various administrative appointments, evolving from a fringe group of nationalists into the second biggest political party in the country, and when they had just enough people in the right places who were willing to subvert humanity, and the timing was right, the horror began.
This is why you have to physically beat and kill obviously evil people early and often. Many progressives don't want to acknowledge it, but violence is inevitable and often necessary because at the end of the day we're still garbage animals on the inside. We are good at improving living conditions, but shitty at improving our nature. Debating is not enough to ward off evil - some people are too stupid or too broken to be convinced. If we weren't so easily distracted and pacified these days by reality TV and fast food and gadgets, not so worn down by working more and more for less than we're worth, not so isolated by social media, and not increasingly unwilling to hold hands with imperfect allies, we'd have a chance. The earth is going to burn underwater and your grandkids will be lucky to serve a master on a mountaintop plantation someday. The other superpowers are moving to the right as well and they can't match us militarily, so nobody is coming to save you.
Buy a gun before you head to the polls and be prepared for the worst when it turns out that your vote was meaningless.
This is not true. Republicans are greatly over represented and their views are sometimes in the extreme minority of the country at large - like gun laws, abortion, voting rights.The problem is that the leadership reflects on the voters.

You can't beat the ignorance out of people.
Clinton only won the popular vote by 2%, so that doesn't seem like an extreme minority to me. That seems like roughly half of the voters in the country.This is not true.

Yeah this is known. If the process was functioning correctly, there would be a lot less Republicans in office right now.This is not true. Republicans are greatly over represented and their views are sometimes in the extreme minority of the country at large - like gun laws, abortion, voting rights.
In terms of actual policy, yes, their views are an extreme minority - sometimes. You said representatives are a reflection of the electorate and I disagree since we live in a system where the Senate and presidency are controlled by people who received fewer votes than the opposition. The country is more right than I'd like but it's far less right than our representatives would suggest.Clinton only won the popular vote by 2%, so that doesn't seem like an extreme minority to me. That seems like roughly half of the voters in the country.
And the keyword is "voter." Polls don't make a lick of difference. You need ballots in boxes.

Do you think Trump can comprehend losing? I think it isn't even a possibility he can consider.Stuff like this is why I'm alarmed. Trump and company are not acting like people who intend to leave their positions of power should the election say Biden won.
Feels like Death of the Republic (Rome).
I still hope there's enough momentum with Biden and Trump/GOPs power pyramid crumbles, but its a knife edge - I think Biden will legit win but I'm not sure that's enough anymore. And if Trump stays in power then God love yez.
Damn. I'm over here in Sweden following your elections and I'm nervous asf. Can't imagine what it must be like you guys over there... 😔The Nazis took over Germany slowly and mostly legally over a number of years.

Nazism?It's amazing how willing he is to trade common sense and even human life for a political win. Like what the fuck? How does one even reach that point?
waitll the qanoners learn that Ross literally worked for the Rothschilds
Why would he comply with it now when he already ignored it the first time. This is so fucking dumb.
Laws are only for the little people in America.this is all law
in all civilizations
