rolling “Trump is gonna win” containment thread

Americans love racism and bullies

insult to injury, I've had the bridge from "Don't Know Much" by Aaron Neville and Linda Ronstadt in my head for four hours. just the bridge.

it's literally all I can hear right now

Oh I can fix that for you

Looking pretty grim

not really.

I mean compared with the rout everyone was confidently predicting like 12 hours ago

well yea

Pretty clear that a definitive rejection of what trump stands for, the idea of dump this guy and “start healing”, is a fantasy

the rout everyone was confidently predicting like 12 hours ago

OPening arguments ad an interesting take on the forth coming results yesterday said taht it was likely that the first day's count would swing heavily to trump because people would be voting in person on the day and the early voting , mail voiiting and other counts would come in later and have a far more pronounced swing to BIden.
So I'm just hoping that votes do get counted.

Florida going Dem would at least secure the ex-convict vote was counted in future or could actually happen at all.

BUt was hoping to hear something more positive first thing today.
Do people relish in prolonged pain once they are getting used to it or something.

I’m mainly going off of ilxor dot com

biden will win texas

did you miss the part where most of us were saying we were sick to our stomach 12 hours ago and wanted to take drugs

well just think it migt help as a slimming agent. does the added adrenaline mean your metabolism gets faster

nothing like a bit of Pollyannaing.

I mean you need the fear of potential consequences to make you that much more grateful for the ones you get, like.

it's kinda just like, 4 years ago, some of us (ok, probably just me) could do the whole coping technique of "ok maybe it won't be so bad". now we know how bad it can be, so that's out the window.

that said, I'm less anxious now that I was a few hours ago, when I had to do the "heart attack vs panic attack" self-exam which I haven't had to do in....idk, maybe 3 years? I guess it was also indigestion but I felt like I had ropes around my chest.

He’s going to actually do this. I give the fuck up. My country hates itself.

screaming helps exercise the vocal cords and keep them in trim. stands to reason.

Even Ben Shapiro ain't buying it, Tombot. breathe deep.

Thank you

I’m just so angry that my prediction is coming true

Bon courage all

I’m just so angry that my prediction is coming true

you and Bernie's. Solidarity!

also Trump's prediction of what Trump would do tbf

Tom, I don't know much, but...

I know I love you

how bad would this thing have been without covid

Total bloodbath, all hail president covid

Covid 19 is good now

the 19 is very bad but the covid is good

if we work hard enough we’re gonna round the bend into covid-20

yeah we need new pandemics to look forward to . gives a new perspective to those chosen leaders dunnit. Wonder if he'll be any better at facing up to the next challenge, if you totally ignore his track record you can be optimistic. Well I guess you get what you deserve,.

When's the civil war start?

argh

count the votes

we're really never going to forget/forgive the year 2020 are we

lads lets not let one bad night ruin what's otherwise been an amazing year

lol

BREAKING: at 62.6 million votes, Donald Trump about to cross his 2016 vote tally of 62.9 million votes.

First time since 2004 an incumbent President would win more votes during re-election campaign than first campaign.

This is so insane. Why is it seemingly impossible for Trump to face negative consequences for his egregious actions?

I said the same about Bush in '04.

people like what he's selling apparently

You were right then too. But there is something freaky about this Trump stuff. The grandiosity, the lying, the scapegoating, the rallies that caused 700 covid deaths — it’s all so baroquely obscene and in your face.

Like i have never encountered a person who seemed less trustworthy than him. I can’t even squint and pretend to understand what people like about him anymore. This current campaign wasn’t even political—he wasn’t taking about onshoring anymore—it was all personality cult and he *expanded* his base!

he projects victory and mindless triumph

I really want to move honestly. And it’s an aesthetic decision more than anything else maybe, which makes me a snob. But I don’t want to live in a country that elevates this king of person, it’s too depressing.

*kind

I mean, I’m also concerned and horrified even at what he’ll do. But right now the country’s acceptance of him — their acceptance of his mistreatment of THEM — is repellent. I can’t

The problem is, will a European country accept us, thanks to COVID?

My fiancee wants to stay in the nyc metro area to be near family so I’m staying here I guess.

my mother has been in hospital for 3 weeks. it would cost $25,000 to see her in my own country a month from now, because of Covid

Sorry to hear that sic.
