Honestly, these sudden huge spikes in Wisconsin and Michigan look hinky to me:

I fully expect Trump to demand recounts on both states to determine if there was any vote fraud going on there.

I was prepared for this outstanding flip, Kyle explained it beautifully hours before the election.

Yeah, movements like Blexit and the RNC Latino outreach seem to be working coupled with Trumps economic policies pre-pandemic.

Yeah those tax cuts to the rich and environment destruction must have really energized  them

Well 41% of Americans said their finances are better than they were 4 years ago and were in a pandemic so obviously something worked since 41% of Americans arent rich.

What about those 60 percent?  A lot of low income people are struggling.  The people that can work from home making shitty apps or whatever the fuck they do are obviously not suffering.  The rich gap is widening like crazy and covid has only made it go up exponentially.

I think most hispanics probably went trump because of abortion.   They are usually Catholic and anti abortion.  They want to see Roe vs Wade overturned.   My ex is catholic and voted for trump.  First time she voted since coming here from Vietnam over three decades. I was like well Biden is catholic.  Her response was not all catholics are good.

28% said it was less and 31% said it was about the same.

USPS Fails To Meet Deadline To Permit Search For 300,000 Missing Mailed Ballots

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yqAyPawr6iM


Trump gets a new postal master, to make a mess of things, so in swing states, they can "conveniently" lose 300k+ mailed ballots.
(which would favor democrats)

Even if DeJoy gets sentenced for this federal crime..... chances are he will just be another person that does a crime for trump only to be pardoned afterwards.
Republicans cant help but cheat, and then project their own wrong doings onto the otherside.
Then to help himself look innocent (full well knowing, they cheated) Trump will before hand claim he wants all votes counted.

Sure jan gif goes here.

Biden might get Georgia after all. Not many ballots left but he's catching up quite well. ~85k behind with about 250-350k still to be counted depending on the source.

Yeah I'm in the same bracket although I can only blame myself.   I need a better job than this current manufacturing job.  I guess I can at least be happy that I have a job and overtime is a possibility.

^^ Yeah things looking a bit better in Georgia for Biden, hope it continues.

We knew before the election that absentee ballot requests favored democrats by a margin of about 70-80% in states reporting requests by party. And obviously Trump wasn't going to win Michigan by 10 points. This is expected, as was Biden's lead coming down in Ohio where most mail in votes were reported early.

Trump never had any kind of integrity.

There are many possible things that could happen and he could still surprise us. A cornered animal is almost unpredictable. He will certainly cry on twitter a lot and try to rally up his base insinuating that there was foul play. Which most likely will lead to violence. He will also threaten legal action, which may or may not happen. There is also a non-zero possibility that he'll immediately flee the country. Or he steps down and lets Pence pardon him.

Whatever happens it will most likely be something that no other president has done before.

Fake his death and become a lumberjack?

This was already famously done by Lincoln. Don't they teach history where you live?
