I learned about Jordan Peterson’s Pokemon game yesterday. The fucker got people to buy stickers with a crossed out PC on Amazon, as part of this game. Where you can buy thousands of them on a custom site for the price was selling 50.
If I was smarter, I’d make a fortune on these people. It’s like I can see it, but can’t figure out how to profit on it. When I was an asshole teenager, I wanted to be an a evangelist, but that ship has sailed.

probably bots tbh. Can't imagine republicans care too much, or have subscriptions. only 27% of them even believe in scientists now due to trump. Trump knows better then the generals, he knows better than the doctors, he knows better then the scientists, the most obvious salesman of a con ever and these people hook line and sinker.
You know what else Coal burning steam engines can burn? Penguins! And Penguins are just liberal elitist ducks, so it is win-win!

If that’s the case I’ll will definitely stay away from the white half of town during November.
My birthday month might be a bloody one... I really do hope it doesn’t come down to that. More than Enough lives have been lost this year to trump.
He is setting the stage for widespread chaos and anger at the election system itself. One likely scenario is that he prematurely claims victory before all mailed votes are counted, and then starts sowing as much doubt as possible about the validity of the remaining votes which would likely pull Biden ahead.
If the margins are wide and it is clear that Biden is the legitimate winner despite Trump's machinations, republican politicians will finally jump ship to save their own skin and start distancing themselves from Trump.
If the margins are close, things will get serious very fast. Republicans will not jump ship and instead a partisan war will erupt that could escalate in many ways. It's one thing to have people like me saying that democracy itself is being chipped at, it's another to actually see it fail. Social unrest will certainly rise.
If Trump loses the the popular vote, but wins the EC things might escalate as well for similar reasons, but probably not as much.
If Trump wins both in an unexpected red wave, then the people will have spoken and god help us. Get ready for a third term Trump and a president Ivanka.
Bullshit. If that happens it is because of massive cheating, and most of America won't believe it. That is exactly what happened in Belarus, and nobody believes that either.
That said, I think there is a 0% chance of that happening. I don't think it is possible for them to cheat enough to actually get a major win. The chances of Trump getting a popular vote win are tiny, and a major popular vote win is non-existant.
I still don't agree with you, even a landslide is possible. Next to impossible, but not impossible.
The point is that anger like yours will very likely reach a boiling point in all scenarios other than Biden winning in a landslide. How this anger will manifest is the question.
If Biden is the legitimate winner and Trump is trying to cheat his way to victory, then it all depends on GOP politicians either jumping ship and letting Trump fizzle out or doubling down and joining him in a dirty war. This all depends on the EC margins and plausibility of Trumps tactics.
If Trump wins, be it by playing dirty or by legitimate means, and stays on as president with the GOP and his base backing him, then everyone is fucked. Anger will turn into violence which will turn into suppression. The whole point and danger of Trump getting a second term is that you will be silenced, your vote will lose value and things like the law and the constitution will burn to a crisp.
This is why it is so important for Biden to get as many votes as possible. Even in red states every vote counts. Anything to make him the most obvious winner as possible to undermine whatever Trump is planning.
