Seriously?
If he somehow wins Wisconsin, Michigan, Pennsylvania and Minnesota, what happens?
What happens to healthcare?
What happens to BLM?
Specifically, what happens to healthcare?
America would be a laughing stock if everyone lost their healthcare coverage.

(18,486 posts)In 2016, too many people said "There's no way Trump can win" and then sat back and let him.
Today, people aren't saying "Trump can't win." We're saying he WON'T win, because WE WON'T LET HIM - and we're working our asses off to make sure he doesn't.
Very, very different.

(1,604 posts)make contingency plans in case the worst happens, and go on with your day-to-day life. Until then, volunteer, call, write, speak out, and remember that the situation is likely nowhere near as bleak as it appears in the surface.
My brother is a Trump supporter. He's also a sergeant in the National Guard, and watched as his helicopter unit was sent home from fighting California wildfires because the state had run out of money in its budget to pay them. He said he was confident that Trump would declare the fires a Federal disaster area, and they'd be back out soon. That was a week ago, and he's still waiting, no doubt thinking hard about what just happened. He's an honorable man, a soldier of thirty years, who's been called out regularly for disasters all over the country. It's actions like this, with Trump tweeting as the country burns, that's going to play out over and over again in the minds of people going to the ballot box. I like Joe, I think he'll be a good President, but I have never ever wanted to see a president out of office as I have this one, and I suspect that this is what will end up driving the election.

(2,228 posts)Trump will push more anti PC agendas and punish his enemies in secret. White men and their bootlickers will continue yo dominante and prospero while everyone else will be ignored much more than before. Democrats will still vote and try to stop the Cons but we will be less motivated to vote. It's going to be a grim future

My unchecked by meds diabeties would kill me pretty fast, I hope. I'd probably be off my psych meds too and in a full blown crisis. Probably diabeties and some awful stress psychosis from losing everything and facing it alone will be what kills me.
I wish trump would just drop dead.
I hate the republican party and I dispise thier beliefs.
And I hate the rich who push that bullshit onto our country as they rob it blind. I hate anyone who enables trump and republicans.
Eventually America is going have face up and deal with it's sociopath / dark triad problem.

(15,224 posts)I half expect that anyway from Trump supporters even if Biden is the very clear winner.
If Trump is in any way declared the winner, I may as well take to the streets because I wont survive another four years of this hell anyway. There will be nothing to lose.
In the meantime, I am doing all that I can to get Joe to the White House!!!
