The US Presidential Election Thread

[Val Keating]

No mater who they're voting for this is the real America, being roasted and laughing along, they might disagreed on policy but they were self aware enough to know what the f is going on.
That dark picture of doom and gloom the media is portraying, doesn't exist anymore, it simply doesn't have that feel of '16. where people were at each others throats.

I’m getting that vibe too. Hopefully we’re right.

Whoever loses needs to admit defeat unlike the Democrats in 16 and the Republicans after Trump lost.

Semantics I guess, but a bit more accurate to say Trump after Trump lost rather than Republicans.

I hope I’m wrong and you guys are right, but I’m expecting the opposite.
I reckon regardless of the result, the US is in for a very rough 6-12 months.

I guess I took Val’s post as meaning the Republican Party (as in elected reps/advisors etc)

Imo, Trump himself was 100% the driving force behind the stolen election strategy. None of that happens without Trump’s urging.

Hillary eventually succeeded, but it didn’t stop her and the Democrats machine from undermining the election and frankly the US government, with the farce thar he was a Russian asset and calling him an illegitimate president. Trump did escalate it after he was voted out, there’s no doubt about that.

There’s a long history in the US of the loser saying the election was rigged, Trump just took it to an unacceptable level.

There’s definitely going to be carry on after the election, but I don’t think we’ll see anything close to January 6th.

Honestly, the US Presidential election has been the best reality show ever, but this one doesn’t have the same energy. It’s been pretty boring compared to the last couple tbh.

Yep, I agree with a lot of that. I reckon every election from now on there’ll be calls it was stolen or whatever.

I think the difference between the Democrats as a party machine making stolen claims versus Trump being unashamedly the loudest voice actually hurts the Democrats quite a bit. It plays strongly into the kind of shadowy cabal image that Trump accuses them of.

I enjoy the spectacle and the craziness of US elections. They’re like the olympics of wtf. I’m not a Trump supporter, and he pisses me off quite a bit, but he definitely adds interest.
It’s hard not to find him fascinating.
