It'll be interesting to see how the decade forms with it looking like Biden has it. IMO we're going to see a massive double down of a lot of the crazy shit that lead to Trump winning in the first place.

Expecting full lockdowns again. (Yay more unemployment and only mega corporations surviving!) Depending on how the run off election in Georgia goes, the new Senate will determine how big the next stimulus bill is. Fully expecting military action to happen somewhere after how the DNC were practically salivating over war with Iran or Russia in 2016 with Hillary.

Not trying to Doomer or blackpill, but I see a lot of the far left thinking this is thier opportunity to "undo the damage of Drumpf" but not realize just why 2016 happened in the first place.

I am just shocked Biden didn't declare victory yet. That's where my 1% comes from. He hasn't yet declared victory and asked for a concession from Trump. So there is still that.

I figure since Trump went all in, calling them out, Biden( aka the Dems in general) can't declare victory since if the fraud trail leads back far enough, getting caught saying 'we won' while stuff the ballot box will cause a massive backlash.

On a whole other note, I'm sure you will all disagree, but I think you ought to consider this thought, that is, if Trump is either legally successful in his cases and/or the 4 recounts (yes folks that haven't been paying attention, we're up to 4)

I think I might be one of the people not paying attention. So I know GA and PA are going recounts but what are the two. I'm guessing Wisconsin and Michigan or maybe Arizona.

I mean, I hope you are right. Trump winning would be glorious for the hellfire he'd unleash. Though if he won't unleash hellfire, fuck it, I don't want him to win.

The media and the technocrats are going HARD against Trump because if he wins, they're afraid he'll fuck them. And I hope he will. I am just shocked Biden didn't declare victory yet. That's where my 1% comes from. He hasn't yet declared victory and asked for a concession from Trump. So there is still that.

Overall what I think happened is that there was mail-in fraud that was designed to be small. Just enough so nobody would notice and it'd be a real squeaker. The problem is Trump's margins were so huge that they panicked and just pulled the lever and let everything out. So inconspicuous fraud became VERY conspicuous fraud. Now everyone is shitting themselves hoping that they can get away with it and are firing on all cylinders.

And people say A&H is a hive mind (I predicted a Biden victory forever ago). But yeah, we're on two opposite ends of this.

Conservatives, in my impression, believe life is a mix of suffering and pleasure, more the former than the latter, and only through good actions can we achieve the Heaven they have been promised, even if that may be a far-fetched possibility and our perceptions of righteousness could be detrimental to others.

Meanwhile, a good portion of liberals believe life should be a never-ending coast of pleasure with as little responsibility as possible. There isn't a higher-up in Heaven or Hell to weight our actions in our mortal coils, so whatever, let's drink, smoke, fuck and get fucked up as much as possible, tomorrow be damned.

I'm more inclined to believe in the conservative's way of thinking, if only because it is more reasonable in its balance between pain and pleasure. There may not be an afterlife, but at least there seems to exist some reason for our suffering on Earth, and we can seek it.

I think it comes down to christianity and religous thought in general vs atheist thought. Religous people are generall inclined toward optimism

1. The belief in life after death

2. Most if not all religions have some sort of endgame where god steps down from heaven and either resets the earth or brings about paradise on earth.

Atheists are on the other hand more inclined to cynicism. Not every atheist is a cynic but a lot are mainly because in their eyes their is no life after death or 11th hour rescue.

I'd argue that the most devout religous extremist conservative fundamentalist muslim dies more content than a good chunk of atheists because in his mind he's fulfilled his duty to allah and now will get a harem of 72 hot virgins who he can fuck for all eternity.

A lot of this stems from the fact that these religions have gone through times of harsch persecution only for things to turn around in their favor

The Jews had great influence in Egypt then were enslaved and then freed then wandered a desert for 40 years then took Isreal then split then ended up getting conquered by the Babylonians and subsequently tossed between pretty much every medditeranean empire then got fucked by both the christians and muslims druing the crusade. Then centuries of persecution and progroms culminating in the Holocaust. Now they have Israel back in their possesion as well as them enjoying status as celebrities, captains of industry, (((philanthrophists))) who use money to influence politics, influential political pundits, and positions withinb the US government as well as many other governments across the world.

Christians were persecuted by the Jews then the romans but then enjoyed several centuries as the dominant religion of europe and America

And yet the scramble has them always one state away from 270 and people like AOC are confident that they can start making lists of Trump supporters. They just need to throw the hounds of the scent for long enough to finish the job because they know that Trump won’t concede.

Here's what I'm thinking. Its now 99% Biden, 1% Trump. Too much stacked against him. The neo-cons, neo-libs are foaming at the mouth. This is bad because the blatant fraud that went on. Its mind boggling that everyone wants to be blind to it. Ignorance is bliss I guess.

Well, what happens? Biden makes an ass of himself. Is quietly removed. Huge amounts of gridlock. Massive lock downs raping the economy. Sucking China's cock. Probably a war or two.

The hope is that the same court system who won’t allow Trump to rescind a previous president’s executive order (DACA) is now supposed to be the same system that decides whether to allow Trump to stay on or let the other guy win so the system can continue to chug along unmolested.

Hell, it’s been known for a long time that the Democrats were going to try to steal the election. So why didn’t he do anything about it whatsoever? It was one of those things where he let the system beat him again but now it’s the end of the road and now relies on one of the most corrupt branches of government to save him. 99/1 is pretty good odds.

The silver lining here is that these two clowns never get the chance to access real power again. I think the last time you had advisors this terrible was Rasputin.

I think Conservatives and people like them tend to search for things in life that aren't "real" or tangible (I can't think of a better word). Responsibility, patriotism, the concept of liberty and freedom, religion, the yearning to have a family and raise children successfully. None of that is measurable or anything you can interact with, it's just in our minds (besides maybe religion of course).

Liberals want emotions, pleasure, money, power. A lot of the smarter ones will just outright tell you that they don't believe in objective reality and that all that matters is power.

I'm in two minds about it. If the Republican state legislatures hold the line I think we're in really interesting territory. If the process is allowed to go on you'll get Biden 'elected' 'President' and then we're in a world of shit as the new regime tries to consolidate its hold on power and the remaining Republicans either cuck or presumably end up getting removed or bypassed for trying to stop it.

I can't believe the Republicans don't see this as a last stand though, so there's that. In fact, right-wing American historiography is all about heroic last stands. It's like it's in their blood. They were made to go down fighting and in this case, the 'fighting' is in court, which is handy for people who are a bit out of shape but went to law school

Another interesting point that Academic Agent's crony Charlemagne mentioned is that voters were loyal to Trump, not the GOP. If the GOP cucks on Trump, all those voters will go somewhere else. I've always wanted to see the GOP replaced by proper right-wing fanatics, no DC cocktail party cucks, so that works for me.

I've no doubt, left unchecked, the current farcical process would return Biden. However, a checked process might not. I also think a fair process would have returned Trump given how much the DNC shat itself mid-election when he looked like he'd win.

Trump supporters have the numbers, and that matters.

Trump isnt gonna back down. He dont give a fuck. Why you gonna bet against this man in a fight lol that doesnt seem like a smart bet based on history and how hes playing with at least 4/9th house money, probably 5/9th. The game is rigged from the start... for him

"Trump...just lose with some class, I don't understand why he doesn't want to lose gracefully". There are some benefits of not being a career politician and being a billionaire businessman instead, a spine and refusal to give up is one of them.

I pity the fool who thinks he's going to peacefully at all.

It depends on the religion really. Some religions are more pessimistic, some more optimistic. The optimistic ones act exactly like you said and some of the pessimistic ones also have a lot of the same belief structures as the optimistic ones, but they tend to stress the depravity and the fallen condition of man.

This is exactly the reason ACB was installed to the courts before the election: You really don't want to risk a 4-4 split court on whether your complaints of fraud (which are very valid in this instance) are actually worthy of the intervention of SCOTUS or not. Also, you guys don't seem to realize that the results don't really matter anymore. This shit is going to court. None of this shit show over electors and what not matter. Basically, the Trump legal team is gathering evidence for their cases in each of these states. Why do you think one of the first things he did was to announce the existence of said fraud to normie America and to have the GOP circle the wagons and ask for recounts, audits and all this shit to make sure the results are cash money?

Trump's still hitting the margins he needs in Arizona.

Also to anybody feeling disheartened I really recommend taking some time off to watch a comedy and just give yourself a break to recharge. I took a few hours away from looking at this thread and watched Blues Brothers and I felt refreshed after that.

I know it won't do much about the long term implications of these shennigans but in the short term you gotta watch out for yourself.

Anyway see you fellas when I wake up.
