Important question, if Trump wins this election does that mean this thread dies?Also because if the polling were more accurate, Trump would throw a shitfit.

It didn't die when he lost in 2020Important question, if Trump wins this election does that mean this thread dies?
There was an older thread that was killed when he won in 2016 apparentlyIt didn't die when he lost in 2020
I am worried that I might have to lock this thread if he wins. Fortunately, I don't think he will.Important question, if Trump wins this election does that mean this thread dies?
If nate silver himself has trump up 54-46, that has to mean it's more like 90-10 in reality.I am worried that I might have to lock this thread if he wins. Fortunately, I don't think he will.
Yeah the thread would go to shit massively if he wins like there would be so much thunderdomers running in with smugpostingI am worried that I might have to lock this thread if he wins. Fortunately, I don't think he will.
The election's outcome is unknown (I think it could go either way) but Nate Silver had Hillary up with a 70% chance and he also has a vested interest in Peter Thiel's poly market.If nate silver himself has trump up 54-46, that has to mean it's more like 90-10 in reality.
Essentially, if Trump wins Pennsylvania he is almost guaranteed to be president. If Kamala gets it, that's when things get incredibly down to the wire.Yeah the thread would go to shit massively if he wins like there would be so much thunderdomers running in with smugposting

So everything is just up in the air and hopefully it doesn't come down to like 1 state
"Inflation"I highly doubt that Trump is going to win. There's not enough shit going wrong in the country for people to vote out the incumbent party. Trump would have won in 2020 had it not been for the Floyd riots and COVID.
To be honest, this isn't different from the identarian politics that MAGAs claim to hate. Look at how many cows use identity (ie trans, disabled and so on) as a way to leverage power over people and allow them to be an asshole. These groups of people function the same despite hating each other - both would love to have totalarian power and make their perceived enemies suffer. I guess it's easier to put on a MAGA hat than it is to whip up bathtub estrogen though.I feel like the majority of Trump's and MAGA's appeal is being given a societal license to be an asshole.

Trump's supporters don't understand they will not be at the top of the pecking order. They are happy to hate and be assholes for now though. Once every one they hate is gone, deported, arrested, or killed, they will be at the bottom once again. Their entire ideology is based on punishing and beating down other groups to push themselves up. When they are the only group left they will descend into infighting.But, getting back to the "license to be an asshole" thing- it's important to remember that while totalitarianism places a lot of emphasis on control and law and order, it's anarchy for the people in charge. The law and order is for undesirables- those on the side of the controlling party can do whatever the fuck they want.
Look at communist China, ironically enough, and see how low ranking CCP officials are constantly blamed and used as scapegoats while people at the top are (relatively) fine. There's only the party and the people there. The people are already subjugated so there is only infighting left. Russia can be another example. Look at the videos of Russian soldiers begging and pleading for Putin to assist them because they (the soldiers) are suffering in their war because of every other leader, except Putin. From their company commander, to the equivalent of a governor, every official is to blame except the ones at the very top. Both governments still find other groups to throw blame onto: Americans, Japanese, capitalists, imperialists, Europeans, etc, but that will always remain a fact of totalitarian governments.Totalitarianism is a pretty sweet deal if you're on the side of the people in charge.
Agreed. For both it's about having power and control over others and they are both fighting hard for it.These groups of people function the same despite hating each other - both would love to have totalarian power and make their perceived enemies suffer.
A key note is: their beliefs won't just go away when he is gone. My best guess would be they either find a new person to latch onto who will push their cult beliefs forward, or slink back into the shadows and bide their time. Just as you mentioned, there are practically no names that could successfully and readily replace Trump as their cult leader. Cults have dissipated after the death or imprisonment of their leader while members remain alive and free, but it's hard to say what might happen here. I believe enough members are too far gone and will never return to reality, and they may be able to keep this cult alive after his death.I really wonder where all the MAGAs who've made it their entire personality will go once Trump croaks in the near future.
You and I both know full well why Puerto Rico isn't a state. If it was, Republicans would never control the presidency ever again. The EC is basically frozen in place as it is because of it. Yeah, some population numbers might shift the number one way or another a slight bit, but if the numbers ACTUALLY reflected the population, Republicans would be done.Shit sucks though because Puerto Rico isn't allowed to vote because there not considered a state. Honestly its high time they should be recognized as a US state.
Imagine thinking an old, fat, and senile grifter, failed businessman, felon, traitor, sexual abuser, good friend of Jeffrey Epstein, failed game show host, sociopath, and Z-list celebrity is God’s chosen vessel. But it’s not a cult.
Fuck, I think 90% of the people supporting Trump are doing so because "food and gas are too expensive." There are tons of signs that say "make gas and food affordable again." I mean, yeah that shit sucks. I drive for a living and luckily I don't currently pay for my own fuel, but I did up until recently and it sucked balls. And my grocery bill has gone up about $100 a week in the last few years. But I'm not stupid enough to think that the president can just fix inflation. These people have no understanding of economics."Inflation"
"The border"
"Woke"
That's not going to happen after he pissed the puerto ricans off and JD Vance told them that he doesn't care about them being offended.if Trump wins Pennsylvania he is almost guaranteed to be president.
"the US was the richest between 1880s and 1890s"Speaking of never answering a question straight.

Fuck taking us back to the 1950's, he wants to go back to the 1880's. Then goes on a weird left turn to the immigrant shit again.
You misunderstood. Someone tried to make a thread prior to him winning in 2016, but Null was voting for him then and locked it. In 2020, Null let this one exist (go look at the first post fam, it’s from right after he lost) because Trump was such a cuck about losing.There was an older thread that was killed when he won in 2016 apparently
