This isn't 2016 to me, I was blindsided then. I know who we are as a country now so this was to be expected, we'll get through the next four years just like we did the first four. It will suck and our country will be worse off but we'll get through it.

If Trump does win, this is who we, the United States of America, are.

In 2016, we could claim it was a fluke…..a one-off.

In 2024……it’s not a fluke. It’s WHO WE ARE as a nation.

These next four are going to be so much worse than the first four.

And I am not sure we will have another free and fair election.

It was passed in 2022, had more to do with climate than Covid. The Fed choked off inflation with higher rates, which has created more difficulties for the economy.

Nope. O&G futures decreased from 120/ba to $70/ba. The inflation after the transient demand spike was all supply side. Raising interest rates doesn't do **** except slow GDP a bit.

Unfortunately, I don't have the means to live abroad. But, if I did, I don't think that I could in good conscious raise a family here. I know that may sound over reactionary because probably 99% of you have raised families in the United States and you have great children and all of that. But, I don't have children yet.

On the bright side we're not going to have to listen to Trump and company whine about a stolen election for the next half decade. We will lose with dignity and class like we do and will get no credit from the voting public for it.

I guarantee Trump will whine endlessly about the final popular vote tally, even if His Royal Poopypants wins a majority of the popular vote.

This country’s 80-year perch atop the international order has afforded people the luxury to be ignorant morons. They’ve never had to face real hardship, relative to most of the rest of the world. Hell, they can’t even conceive of it.

FAFO.

Well, I have a hunch they're about to do so. His tariffs alone will cause inflation that will make everything under Biden look trivial by comparison.

Have children.

Raise them well.

They’re our hope.

Yeah, it's gonna suck really bad. Supreme Court is now guaranteed to be super conservative for the next 20 years. Likely a national abortion ban coming. Musk slashing federal agencies....they warned us it would be painful and I expect it will be for a lot of people.

If my wife would go, I’d leave this country.

Trump is super popular. This was at best a complete toss up. Not sure why you thought anything different.

I find that funny because even on this forum and its predecessor, the people who supported Trump’s “policies” professed disdain for his behavior and contempt for his character. He doesn’t even seem popular within his own family.
 
Holding Out hope for the blue wall. Gonna take a break and check back in a few hours.

Trump will probably declare victory before the votes are counted but he has done that before. He may be right this time but still to be counted to confirm.
