President Trump and US politics catchall

[Fangle]

Have you seen the Lady Gaga commercial where she is dressed in camo next to a large truck asking mid-westerners to vote for Biden? It is this attitude from many Democrats that push people away from them. It makes Democrats look as if they are talking down to them. They see Democrats as thinking they are superior because they come from the northeast and drive anything other than a truck.

They must learn to communicate with them properly and not act superior.

Yeah, the billionaires behind the republicans are soooooo relatable.

I guess I wasn’t clear. I’m talking about the politicians who are the face of the party, and not the source of the funding.

Does it matter who wins? If Biden wins, Trump will whip up the racist cunts (I agree, let's not call them Deplorable) to rail against the stolen election, if he wins, the vindictive cunt will go nuts on anyone who stood in his way during the election, be they an individual, organisation or state.

You don’t think that there will be chaos in the streets from Biden supporters if by a remote chance Trump wins? Apparently shops are boarding up their windows in some cities.

Oh, there will be, but frankly the MAGA cunts are worse largely because they have the looney cos play militia open carry twats in their ranks.

What is your prediction of what damage these people will do?

[Rinkals]

Look, Fangle, if you want to vote for Trump, go ahead and do it.

If you look at Trump and say "that man is representative of me and what I stand for", that is your right.

If you look at Trump and feel that he is the sort of trustworthy person in whose hands America's democracy will be safe, you are perfectly entitled to hold that view.

If you admire his business acumen and feel that his superior understanding of the arts of deal-making will benefit the American economy rather than his immediate family and other billionaires, maybe you are right.

Perhaps you despise liberals and long to see them weep at the prospect of the damage that four more years of Trump will probably incur. Perhaps you feel that It's not the Trump supporters who are the aggressors, but rather that the democrats are the instigators of violence.

But I don't see how you can complain of being judged as rather less than intellectually flawed and morally bankrupt if you re-elect Trump.

How can you possibly expect not to be judged disparagingly, if this is the man you feel represents you best?

You really infer things, don't you. I'll have you know that I didn't vote for Trump. But if that's your opinion of me, you can go and suck eggs!

Are you so thick that you read that into my post? Oh forget it! You are just not worth i t!

Ignore him Fangle. He has a talent for missing the point.

Exactly...I am a repub, but no fan of Trump and pulled the lever for Biden.

But the holier than thou attitude is funny, because just like last time, when they asked lots of these Trump voters who voted for Obama why? They said it is the only way to say $#)*$)@*$*)@ you to elites.

Like Chelsea Handler telling 50 Cent he must have forgotten he was black. It goes on and on.

I am hoping the Repubs some how miraculously hold unto the Senate.

Why would you wish that? From this distance they seem to be, or are at least led by, a feckless bunch of self serving, low dealing scum who skim across illegibility if not outright treason. The only real difference between them and Trump is that most are more articulate. Now, perhaps the Dems are no different, or you just can't abide their policies no matter how poor the incumbents are, but, you did not say that. Instead, you gave some, breathless and addled reasoning around a celebrity, or other, pissing you off, and took umbrage at someone's ham fisted interaction with another celebrity.

If that is what it takes to treat the critical right, and a privilege, to vote so casually, no wonder politics and democracy in the US is at such a low ebb.

Give us strength. A fucking celebrity, for pity's sake!!!

Yep. It's very unlikely. I also think the response of the respective (potential) presidents would be quite different and therefore the authorities response to the protests. Unfortunately, though I hope I am wrong on all these points and that there is no violence, I also think that Trump supporters are much more likely to resort to gun violence.

Perhaps it's simply,not being reported, but I've yet to see anything fromDem supporters that comes close to the Trump fanatics as far as instigating or threatening violence goes whether it be the attempt on Michigan's governor or the *ahem* escort given to Biden's campaign bus the other day. Those are just the headlines, there's all sorts of micro stuff going on. Places like r/PublicFreakout have stuff like Trumpers lining the streets just far away enough from polling places to not be called on voter intimidation including one particularly deranged instance of a man screaming at people that he had their license plate number and they were going to vote Trump whether they liked it or not.

[stemoc]

I expect Civil Unrest come November 4th in the US.. and possibly Civil War (if trump loses)

[Rinkals]

Ignore him Fangle. He has a talent for missing the point.

The point I'm making is that, if you choose a man like Trump as representative of your values and your thought processes, I don't see how you can complain when your values and thought processes are judged to be deficient.

Fangle is complaining that Dems are at fault for not regarding Trump supporters as having sufficient nous, but it's not just the Dems who are shaking their heads at the stupidity of Trump and his supporters: most of the Western World outside of America is marvelling at the gullibility of the American electorate to hand this man the keys to the kingdom and most of the rest are laughing their cocks off.

[Thor Sedan]

So no matter what happens in the election.....on a scale of 1 to 10 - 10 being 'throwing my phone away, cancelling my network provider and hiding in a cave' - how active are you going to be on social network sites of the next week or so?

Some gentle trolling?
Fist of god mocking?
Libtard snot fulled meltdown?
Alt Right aggressive targeting?
Meme heavy?
GIF rampant?
trump worship?
Biden facepalming?
Ignoring the next week like it is just a tear in the matrix?

Republicans tried and failed to get 120,000 votes ruled out in Texas. If he's losing there...

[Saint]

i don;t think he;s losing there, but I think that they;re getting nervous; they also want a pile of court cases, even ones that they lose or get thrown out before they even get to the merits, so that they have something to point to

For what it;s worth, I think Biden's going to win with around 350 EC votes, but the turnout is going to distort this

[Biffer]

Yeah, if there wasn't a term limit I think he'd be looking at a fourth term.

Actually it's interesting how America often follows decent, popular presidents with absolute pricks, massively flawed or just useless candidates nominated from both sides.

There's a record number of lawsuits regarding this election: https://eu.usatoday.com/story/news/nati ... 998149002/

so which channel should we all stay glued to today for reliable and factual information on whose winning

Any of them in about March next year, I suspect.

Trump has gone from 2.72 to 3.0 on the Exchanges.

I've had a small dabble at a massive price on the EC. Trump 330-359.

Do you want Trump to win or just having a bet?

[DAC Clarifies]

I really want Trump to win. It gives us (normies) a stay of execution from the mounting dark forces of the left. For a least a while anyway.

However, I'm pragmatic, I've followed the exchanges for a while and there has been incredible amounts of money on Biden (when I say Biden, I really mean Harris as it should be obvious to anyone that's who is really intended to be the next POTUS) but that's how the Left rolls. Biden will sneak this I think.

I got 40.00 on my bet and it was just to good an option not to have a cast.

Well that’s all a bit silly, but thanks for answering

Double post.

Well at least that isn't a completely simplified way of looking at it.

Look, you guys can't handle anything other than "Orange Man Bad." So I'm keeping it simple for you.

I'd still like to think people could get behind the police and that the police might improve.

Yes, I too recommend larger caliber side arms for the police.

Trump is out to 3.2. His voting core will be coming home from work soon and then going out to vote, a couple more ticks and that's a tradeable position to take for me.

[fishfoodie]

I hope the Feds catch whoever did this & put them in prison for about 200 years.

It might stop arseholes in the future.

ABC News has confirmed robocalls have been going out to voters in the battleground state of Michigan today — specifically targeting the city of Flint, Michigan, where the majority of residents are Black.

Robocalls "purposefully spreading misinformation" have been going out to residents in Flint, Michigan, today, according to the statements from Michigan Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson and Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel.

The robocalls are telling voters to vote tomorrow -- instead of today -- due to long lines, according to the tweet from Nessel, in which she called the effort "an attempt to suppress the vote."

"Obviously this is FALSE and an effort to suppress the vote," Nessel said in her tweet. "No long lines and today is the last day to vote. Don’t believe the lies! Have your voice heard! RT PLS."

It's best not to prejudge these things, but there certainly is a strong suggestion that the underhand tactics are primarily coming from one camp rather than the other.

What still concerns me is the relative difficulty in casting a vote in the US, the relative lack of polling stations as evidenced by the ubiquitous cues. Added to that, the fact that people think they can, and do, get away with any form of electioneering, let alone intimidatory behaviour, within a bulls roar of a polling place on election day is mad. Other countries figured this basic stuff out long ago, so why is the US stuck in a time warp, hell bent of protecting privileges at the expense of others rights? Is it that they have those two things arse about face, privileges and rights, that is?
