I'm not even a "Trump supporter". I only voted for the guy because I think his victory is marginally less likely to lead to a civil war, and honestly, I'm fine with civil war anyway, I just don't want to personally act to bring it closer.

What will happen in the world is outside your control.

LMAO that you don't find the logical contradiction disturbing.

Out of curiosity...

What happens if trump goes to the Supreme Court like he’s been saying, the Court rules against him, and when the votes are all in and counted...

He still ends up winning?

Meanwhile the big losers of the election are the pollsters whose polls ended up reflecting some bizarro non-reality yet again

[SOLDIER First]

if that happens you will never hear from me again

The last time anyone was convinced by a stranger on the internet was in 1956, and that was in an argument about shoelaces.

Don't be silly. It was about aglets...

Shoelaces.

So this is how liberty dies, sticking your fingers in your ears and repeating "You just can't handle him because he speaks facts and gets things done."

This brain dump brought to you by every single interaction I've had when discussing things with a Trump supporter. Without exception.

Biden needs any two 2* of the remaining states to win. Looks like Michigan is more likely Biden, with a margin of >60k.  Nevada would seal it, but that margin is only 8k... so pretty tight.

The other swing states have Trump ahead by much larger margins, I don't know if PA or NC will have enough mail-in votes to flip. GA might, it's a lot closer.

This is of course not accounting for lawsuits and other "shenanigans."

I'm trying to remember if this is the same or worse than the drama with Bush/Gore in Florida. It's easy to think this is worth, because it is "now", but I don't really remember.

EDIT: *well except the combo of NV+NC; that would be one short.

I'm just waiting for the 2020 update to the "faithless elector" Wikipedia page.

[Zanzetkuken The Great]

Looking at Google, seems like Trump is holding his lead in PA, GA, and NC with Biden holding MI and NV.  Going by what's said for current Electorial Totals and adding those states in (along with Alaska/Hawaii), 270 Biden, 268 Trump unless there's a notable shakeup, and if it didn't screw up Nebraska and Maine's potential shenanigans.  Faithless electors at max danger, even if not malicious but by spelling mistakes/other mixups.

Notably, this is before challenges and recounts which will be especially fierce in Michigan and Wisconsin especially due to the sudden spikes you can see on the charts that leave them very suspicious for anyone on the Republican side, especially with it being near totally for Biden and no real visible change for Trump.

It's going to be a messy 1-3 months ahead regardless of how one cuts it.

Edit: At least.

Guys adding a little to my earlier post, from what I can gather the thing is basically over, so congratulations for all of you that are democrats/voted for Biden.

I know many of you migth think of my as a salty, old and crusty dude with retrograde thoughts (specially from how many reacted back then when I told you guys I would probably be a republican if I were an USA citizen), but it is my deepest wish today that Biden lives up to your expectations and perform top notch or at least better than Trump in all aspects because, well because you deserve the best for you, your families and your country, for real.

I also hope the civil war thing just exists in spin head.

[Dostoevsky]

If Biden wins it'll almost certainly be with a Republican Senate, meaning we see very little legislation/action on much at all (especially under the current Supreme Court). Might end up being a victory for the status quo, with some of Trump's biggest executive actions going away but not much else of note.

Oh that's certain.  Disinfected ballots not running, sharpies apparently being handed out in Arizona which aren't able to be read by the machines, machines getting bugs, some absentee and in-person ballots getting merged for a bit in one state, any shenanigans with mail-in ballot security...

At the very least, all the scrutiny will mean we will be able to find all the holes in the system. Whether anything is done about them...who the fuck knows, frankly.  Establishment going to Establishment.

Oh fuck no, this roller coaster ain't even close to ending.  Back and forth in Florida in 2000 basically allowed Bush to win and its crazier than hanging chads here.  This ain't going to be over til the Electoral College vote goes through.
