Trump is likely to win. Last time, he was constrained by not having willing operatives in place in the various agencies and departments. They aren’t going to make that mistake again. Also last time, after a few big and largely ineffective demonstrations, people generally let him do what he wanted without doing much about it. I hope that this time, we will be willing and able to actually act. There will be people who need protection or to get out of there. I hope we will help.
@ZonaPellucida Going to be an unpopular opinion but I feel you're spot on.The threat of him could've been neutralised a long time ago but someone,somewhere decided to treat him with kid gloves lest they motivated the rabble that follow him.In my opinion they should've hammered him from day one.The trouble they thought they'd avert is coming regardless,should've just ripped the plaster off when they had the chance instead of letting him even near a chance for a second term.
I'll have to respectfully disagree with both of you on him winning this. I don't think he'll even come close.
If he couldn't steal the election with all the resources of POTUS, he won't do it this time.
But I'm sure his shiteheads learned a great deal about exploitable weaknesses in 2020. Many of the sleazy pre-election tactics have been mitigated so far, but I worry about what their plan of action is from election day through inauguration. It needs to be leaked.
When the smoke clears on all this so many safeguards of the country's democratic/civic infrastructure has been exposed as weak, exploitable, unresponsive and slow.
The courts of course and how unfair they are and the endless appeals and BS games a person with limitless funds can play is first and foremost.
The endless lies spewed by entertainment as news propaganda news orgs will hopefully bring the fairness doctrine back
Billionaires control both with impunity.
Also, the polling organizations who’re either being paid off too show fake momentum or that are too cowardly todo anything at this point other than herd themselves so they can say at least they all fucked up the same should be called out and their polls downgraded.
Seems to me the fact so many of them are “even” tells me they don’t need to run a poll to tell them, polling as an industry is fuxked.
They give themselves away.
No one should. Yet, they’re used to supplement news media narratives all the fookin time… so they used to manipulate.
@TheAbbotTrithemius The media does it purposely,especially in the US from my experience here so far.They want the population angry,outraged and worried.....that puts eyes on screens. @ZonaPellucida
@TheAbbotTrithemius And they don't give a shiny shite about the impact on people's mental health. @ZonaPellucida
@TheAbbotTrithemius I have zero trust in polls,they're pretty much just sticks to bludgeon the electorate with and keep them in a constant state of worry. @ZonaPellucida
