depends on how substantial Harris wins by

and some sentate races the one in texas for ted cruz is to close to call and apparently ted cruz polling saying he is losing if Texas turns democrat then the republicans will finally tell trump where to go

if its close i can see another jan 6th style thin

When the orange faced Donald Trump appeared out of the garbage truck wearing a hi vis jacket, all I could think of was a very large oompa loompa.

Well we will get one of two possible outcomes.

1. America will be fucked but not as fucked as it could be.
2. America will be totally fucked and so will the rest of the world most likely.

Either way it's a bit of a disaster really.

Yes Snooks is positively bursting with mind boggling optimism .

Thanks for the good news please can you give us the bad news as well.

The bad news is......

'We are all fucked.
Britain is fucked.
Europe is fucked.
America is fucked.
Everyone and everything is fucked'

They're eating the Dogs......oh, wait a minute

I dread to think what the unhinged one, who is more unstable than four years ago, would say to his supporters. The lack of consequences is also a worry, because that Supreme Court aren't willing to hold him to account for his actions, things are skewed and it is no doubt a very scary time for Americans. Add Faux Noise and Twatter into the mix as well Russian misinformation and well, yeah, not fun times ahead

It's already started. Ballots getting burned, belligerent MAGA voters at the polls, voter intimidation running rampant

It would be a fascist regime. The Rich are funding it, and some people have bought into it. Just a bunch of fools thinking as long as the evil Libs stay out of power, everything will be "great again".
When was it great to them?
What's stopping it from being great?
Taxes?
Other Ethnicities?
Empowered Women?

It sounds pretty harsh saying that about my country, but it's the reality. The extreme MAGA don't care about reality. They don't care as long as they win and get to spread their hate until they find that Greatness

^I guess sometimes you probably wish that there was a third independent candidate that could split the vote either way, but I guess that wouldn't even help the situation the USA now finds itself in. I think tbh it's not a good look for American politics to have a convicted person in the White House. The rest of the western worlld must be wondering how far the dominoes will fall in the US that could have a ripple efffect elsewhere.

THe way things are looking I wonder if the special relationship could withstand a 2nd Trump Presidency.

There is. She's called Jill Stein and claims to be a Green Party candidate. In swing states she could be very dangerous by taking votes from Harris. Indeed she did precisely that when Clinton ran against him and cost Clinton the election. Her campaign openly admit they want Trump to win. Oh and for a Green Party candidate she has money invested in fossil fuel companies which rather shows what a fraud she is.
