Could the 2020 election drive our country into chaos?

[shockey80]

The Democratic voters are very aware Russia attacked us and are still attacking us. We are aware that Trump and Moscow Mitch supported the attack and are still supporting the attacks.

If the 2020 election is attacked and the results are affected and the unimaginable happens, Trump wins. Wouldn't that drive the Democratic voters to revolt? Isn't this the goal of Putin, making our elections no longer trustworthy?

Trump and the Republicans in congress have set our country up to fail. They have pushed us to the brink of self destruction. They are traitors in my opinion.

1. Do you mean our country?

And it's affected, not effected.


Sorry to be the grammar police, but you may get a harsher reaction than mine.


To your point...yes, making us doubt the validity of our elections would be one of Putin's major goals.

9. No offense meant

I make plenty of my own mistakes.

2. I think the possibility of chaos exists from either side

in our current state of anxiety.

3. I believe we may already be in chaos, especially after these two mass shootings. n/t

5. Our elections, broadly speaking, are trustworthy

Donald Trump is President because more people, in the states with more Electoral Votes, chose to vote for him. Russian interference helped encourage thinking that led to voting for Trump, but it didn't change the votes. People may be frustrated at what that says about our society, but it has nothing to do with trust.

6. I agree, however I am worried because I remember the 2000 election.

We know the Republicans are cheating. A repeat of something like the 2000 election could really set off a revolt.

14. No, I come to that informed conclusion by talking to people who actually run elections.

7. More than it is already?

Yes, things will get worse, especially if things don't go Grand Wizard Trump's way. That's pretty much a given.

8. If we Dems don't make too many more mistakes, we can probably avoid 2020 chaos

10. With Trump in the Oval Office,

Barr running "Justice", McConnell controlling the Senate and pushing through lifetime Federal judges, plus Putin fucking with our elections? I'd say we're already in a pretty chaotic state, bordering on meltdown. And they are all just the tip of the proverbial iceberg with the rest of the corrupt Cabinet and goddamn complicit Republicans in Congress.

11. Our Mickey Mouse media...

will make sure of it. Probably.
