rolling “Trump is gonna win” containment thread

Our man hasn’t been on tv for a while yet

at least we'll still get use of this thread in 2024, that's one positive

I’m not a vindictive or cruel person by nature but I want to see the anguish

Star Ears X: Wrath Of The Dotard

*WARS

Yoda's, sure.

lol

fake news votes trashed except in arizona and vegas and boom, 2scoops goes over the top, the dow hits 30,000, and moscow trump tower 2021, baby!

For some reason my anxiety is massively playing up that a Trump win is still possible and that the world being the hell that it is that it will actually happen. Please can I be reassured?

Philly alone is gonna push PA to Trump, much less everything else

Joe Biden’s got this

i lives in philly for one year! feeling some city pride

Sorry, I didn't want to shit up the other thread and I was feeling sick with anxiety about a Trump win. Still honestly feel so pessimistic that the possibility hasn't gone away yet, and that anything shit that can happen, will happen. Rationally I know it's not happening, but man does anxiety fuck you over.

(Usual caveat that Biden also sucks applies, but let us concentrate on the actual worst human alive for the time being)

I completely feel you, emil.y. I've been living in hopeless doomspace for the last couple of days, having completely withdrawn from news and the internet and just assuming the absolute worst and probably shaving years off of my life with all of the intense worrying. It's anxiety and it's also just trauma. 2016 was fucking traumatic. It's hard not to go through those miserable motions all over again. And also it's not like this was exactly a rout. The people who voted for him aren't just going away, so there's cause for residual anxiety wrt what that's going to mean going forward.

But still. This morning is the first time since Tuesday that I've allowed myself a little hope, and it admittedly does feel better than waking up bathed in sweat from nightmares about being in literal hell.

yeah that moment on Tuesday where it was like "holy shit we're really pulling out of the Paris Accord and the WHO and probably never having another fair election again and..." was legitimately crushing even though the reality was just that the scenario everyone said was gonna happen was happening

I mean you learn a lot about human nature, so many people said "DO NOT PANIC it's going to look like Trump won on Tuesday night but he'll lose due to the mail-ins in these particular states" and yet we all panicked anyway

It's OVAH.

Can we close this thread?!

He might win something else.

To what extent is it worth worrying about any malarky with electors in the coming weeks? Can people breathe easy before Dec 12?

Not worth it.

the fact that the GOP isn't really going along with this "challenge everything in the courts and try to dig up fraud" thing is probably a good sign they won't

also Joe was pretty consistent on his stance re: malarkey

I mean even Rush is saying it's over

Yeah you'll get rando true believers like this fool:

But otherwise...

Joe was pretty consistent on his stance re: malarkey

However, he failed to specifically denounce monkeyshines. A fatal error in my view.

That could still be the loophole that allows a Tump victory.

What if he handcuffs himself to the desk in the Oval Office?

Secret Service with bone saws and a lot of plastic sheeting.

dark (yet satisfying) lolz

thanks - figured as much. quite a lot coming down to them apparently deserting him now, isn't it?

Well they know it’s tilting at windmills and after all they will all still have jobs

Many GOP leaders, while evil, are not stupid, which is how they’ve been clinging tick-like to the body politic for so long

are the military votes in PA a worry?

Not at the rate Biden's gaining.

i dont think the military uniformly loves him anyway

Hah, "uniformly"

Tombot insists that decent honorable people exist among the troops, but I’ve never seen any evidence of it. They’ll vote overwhelmingly for trump, but don’t have the numbers to change anything (In PA, maybe they do in GA)

Anyone saying that the troops are all Trumpoid wastes are wasting my time, their time, and your time. Fuck that assumption, forever.

one of my good friends is a vet and he has been Never Trumper from the jump (and isn't even a conservative)

They’ll vote overwhelmingly for trump

Evidence? I've known quite a few liberal men and women in the armed forces.

My brother was in the army for 23 years. He currently lives in Alabama with his second wife and a fuckton of guns. To say he is anti-Trump would be a massive understatement.

TBF those examples are very anecdotal too
