Dozens of interviews with people deeply familiar or involved with the election process point to a clear consensus: Not only could Trump make a second attempt at overturning an election he loses, he and his allies are already laying the groundwork.

    I dunno if we’ve gotta worry about that, because every day, it’s looking more and more like Trump is going to win outright, again. No idea how, with all the experience and years to plan for this, we’re going to let this fucking cunt finally kill our Democracy. My faith in the United States is completely shattered.

      I mean the clear and obvious answer is that the Democratic Party didn’t plan for shit. Their plan was running Biden again with their only platform being “We’re Not Trump.” In the years since January 6th, they’ve done nothing to safeguard our democracy, while Republicans have fervently planned for a coup.

        This seems like a plan to me, but I guess I’m just brainwashed by the blue MAGA.

        Also, when the courts are stacked with ReDUMBlican dick suckers, the only real avenue we have is to win another election to keep on bringing these issues to the people who are, somehow, still “on the fence”. The traitors are a lost cause.

        Can’t really get any meaningful repercussions from those traitors when their “king” cunt keeps calling them “beautiful” and having his cohorts in the courts throw out any meaningful punishments…

      The electoral college almost guarantees him a win, it was specifically designed to ensure the slave states always kept power, which is why when they finally lost in 1861, the first thing they did was flip the table.

      We really needed to let those states leave, would have been the best thing to ever happen to this country, the trash take themselves out.

          I think reconstruction would have gone a lot faster if we’d handed the plantation owners to their slaves and walked away.

          They’ve been inciting racial violence for political ends ever since.

      Yeah half of you guys are fucked, but you should come to Australia it’s only a boring level of corruption here. We read up on us politics to see what dumb stuff they’re up to for fun
