Did some further research.

https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/2020-election/seven-pennsylvania-counties-will-wait-until-after-election-day-process-n1245614

Pennsylvania allows for counties to begin processing mail-in ballots the morning of Election Day, but officials in Beaver, Cumberland, Franklin, Greene, Juniata, Mercer and Montour — all counties which voted for Donald Trump in 2016 — said that concerns over staffing and resources led them to delay when they will count mail ballots.

Delved into the local Boards/Bureaus of Elections in each county, to see who made them up by party. As far as I can tell, they all seem to be the County Commissioners, and in each county they are always 2 Republicans, 1 Democrat.

Also the PA Sec of State, who may have some say in contested results, is a Democrat. Should be interesting.

Are we certain this isn't a MovieBob sockpuppet?

Yeah, "Rural Fascism" is something a Redditor would unironically say.

Agreed, but I could see New York and Oregon going from a deep blue to a light blue this year which can help with the popular vote and if we're really lucky, the GOP could pick up a few House seats in Upstate New York or Eastern Oregon

Eastern Oregon only has one congressional district and it's already occupied by a Republican. The House race to watch in Oregon is OR-4. It's currently occupied by Peter DeFazio, who has been one of the most progressive members of the House and seems like he's been in Congress forever. Despite the district being, on a whole, pretty moderate (it was a near tie between Trump and Clinton in 2016) he keeps getting re-elected, probably because the Republicans kept nominating urine-collecting crackpot Art Robinson to challenge him. This year they have a much more serious candidate, Alek Skarlatos, who was one of the Americans who stopped a Religion of Peace terror attack on a Belgian train in 2015. Real Clear Politics has the race as a toss-up, and there were BLM riots in the district.

Polls show Biden leading a lot more at this point than Clinton was but I honestly haven't meet anyone that's excited about Biden. Even Clinton had a strong following of women and people that though she was a good choice because of experience and because they liked Bill.

Biden on the other hand seems to lack a real following and all I see is people voting for Biden because they're against Trump or the "always blue no matter what". Am I just living in a bubble at this point?

Don't piss and moan like all the whiny SJWs did when about when Trump won if Biden somehow miraculously wins. Just keep your chin up, and don't do anything stupid. Take precautions, and shit, but don't go out causing violence, or whatever. I don't give a fuck if the fucking far-Left, BLM, or Antifa does it. Actually prove you're better than them by not doing retarded bullshit like that.

Literally this.

If Biden is elected, I could foresee the right turning into the rabid haters of him like how the left has been to Trump the past four years. I don't like Biden a bit, but it'd be very funny if we have to make a thread on "Biden Derangement Syndrome" because the right would've been hypocritical about mocking the left for their rabid hatred of Trump while they would've been buttmad about Biden. There wouldn't be any difference between TDS and BDS at all, other than the political ideologies.

side note - i forever blame @FuckedUp for my unironic support of jorgensen this election

Why do I have the suspicion you're both only saying this so you can look like you're reasonable when you're not, using bothsidesism?

There is no worry about the far-Right doing anything, because they are not allowed to like the Left. The far-Right has no institutional power. This handwringing about the far-Right is disingenuous.

These are insane numbers of Democrats attending Trump rallies in the Rust Belt. If even half translates to crossover votes across these states, Trump is in a great position in MN, WI, and MI. The Florida numbers, for comparison, were sitting around 20% Democrats attending.

I am still a registered dem in my state who voted 2020 for Trump. I was actually a bit paranoid about changing my affiliation for reasons.

That's similar with me as I'm a registered independent only because while I like Trump there are some policies of his I really don't support and I don't know if the Republican Party will stick with Trump's brand of politics after he's gone (whether in 2021 or 2025) or go back to being cuckservatives (this is my biggest worry if Trump loses this election)

The closest thing is the TES thread but it's full of pissing and moaning about "Orange Man Bad" and "Bible Thumper Bad", honestly a Biden win would be the best thing for that thread so there can material if it really happens of Trump supporters chimping out.

EDIT:
Note: It's really unlikely there'd be notable chimpouts however given social media censors Pro-Trump accounts and the closest thing will get is media coverage to make the Right look bad. Also the TES (and potential Biden Derangement Syndrome) will still be bad most likely given that thread is full of the most asshurt people who don't even bother wanting to laugh at idiots.

This post is correct, and is exactly why Biden Derangement Syndrome will not be a thing. The closest things we ever had to Obama Derangement Syndrome were the birther thing (started by Hillary) and the tan suit thing.

Trump Derangement Syndrome is only a significant thing because the Left has institutional backing and all the social asspats they can get for it. The same will not apply to some theoretical Biden Derangement Syndrome, and pretending it will is intellectually bankrupt bothsidesism of the highest order.

The simple reality is that the concept of "utopia being disrupted" is monopolized by the Left-wing right now and for the foreseeable future, so there is not the level of religious zeal to sustain something like TDS on the right-wing. The fact that the Elder Scrolls thread, whose name might I add was just aping TDS in an attempt to mock it, has no material says it all.

 

[Aidan]

No. It was Kamala's bus, and staffers following in an suv merged into/rammed a MAGA truck.

This is the 2nd time I've seen someone say there was some paint swapping and I've yet to see anything indicating that. Proofs or stop saying that

Biden Derangement Syndrome won't be a thing. One it won't be in the culture will other you go like TDS. Because you got all those celebs who love to suck dems dick everyday

Earlier in the thread there was criticism for calling for a purge of the left because it might hurt their feelings and have repercussions. People forget or ignore the fact that the right has been purged over the past few decades from academia, science, media, silicon valley / big business, banks, the upper echelons of the military, and the deepstate. At a minimum balance needs to be restored.

Our society can't function if we are constantly at war with each other. We either need to civil war or divorce, because divided we will fall. Two incompatible ideologies that are both done compromising. Everyone is sick of it.

I hope we go the peaceful route and just breakup into smaller countries, but history does not give that a very good chance of happening...

The problem is ultimately academia, because it is from the fact that all of the higher institutions of learning have been poisoned that the rest of the problem springs. Remember, they all draw from the same elite schools.

Who cares if the far-Right doesn't have any institutional power? Like it, or not both sides are full of retarded, violent idiots, and just because the far-Left is in charge now doesn't mean it will be forever, or that retarded lunatics on the far-Right won't chimp out, and cause violence if Biden wins.

I'm not saying it's going to happen, but thinking it won't is just incredibly naïve. While I highly doubt Biden Derangement Syndrome will be nearly as big TDS, but it'll still probably be a thing to look out for, and rightfully laugh at.

Case in point, imagine a reality and a hypothetical:

I drove through an urban area and found a statue that had been vandalized with BLM graffiti, including such classics as "Fuck cops", "fuck white people", and even one gentleman who went the extra mile to write "kill all whites". What do you suppose are the odds are that this individual will be identified at all? Will he face any social repercussions for this violent speech? I don't think he should be charged criminally, but anyone whose been paying attention this year already knows the idea is completely off the table to begin with.

Now imagine you were to go to that statue and write with a sharpie, in normal handwriting size, "fuck black people" and "kill all blacks". Would you get caught? Would it make the news? Would you face social repercussions or even criminal charges? If you were caught in the act, would you even make it out of there?

Now ask yourself, who's really got the institutional power here?

Institutional power and backing enables derangement syndromes to grow. Without it you have nothing. You're sounding like the FBI, who hand-wrings about far-right white domestic terrorism being the biggest threat to the country while Philadelphia right now is experiencing some very fun protests that have nothing to do with them.

The indicator is what the far-Right did during Obama, which is basically nothing, which I suspect you have no answer for.

I also point out the TES thread, which has almost no funny material whatsoever, which I also suspect you have no answer for, since there should be mountains of hilarious laughs to be had yet it's mostly low-key politically-driven bitching.

Exactly also the left has Hollywood, sports, music and News Media in their pockets.

The Right really has noting.

So I found a Biden Derangement Syndrome wont be as balls to the walls TDS has been

I am still a registered dem in my state who voted 2020 for Trump. I was actually a bit paranoid about changing my affiliation for reasons.

I'd say you're justified in your reasons.
Disclaimer I'm just generally paranoid about all things internet. With that out of the way, I'm confident that there are organizations tracking votes/voters and party allegiances with more detail than probably ever before.

Actually it's totally sensible to be registered Dem or Independent depending on your line of work. It is totally true that asshole employers find out which party you're registered with and discriminate accordingly.

"Vote blue no matter who" is actually a very serious factor, even more striking than Obama's black card or Hillary's woman card. A lot of people are gonna vote not so much for Biden as for the Democratic Party, which means no matter how weak Biden's presidential campaign was, he is gonna get elected anyway, so the Democrats can easily get rid of Trump. And this is a bad signal, which any Trump supporter should realise.

This is a somewhat misguided way to look at it.

"Vote blue no matter who" is in force all the time, which guarantees a huge number of votes by default since the Democratic Party has all the institutional backing any party could ask for, such as from the media. The black card and woman card are additional bonuses that drive turnout.
