Yeah, I was more pessimistic. Trump may still win this, and it’s honestly closer than I would have guessed, I thought it would be closer than polls predicted but that Biden would win a bit more decisively than what we see now.Well, looks like us who were more pessimistic about Trump's chances were in the right here. Its still within the realm of possibility that he wins if he manages to pull ahead in either Arizona or Nevada, but it certainly wouldn't be the landslide some people were predicting.
As for voter fraud, I'll assume things are on the level for now; though 'm sure Trump will bring everything he possibly can before the courts.

I’ve always thought that some of the optimism here was unjustified, because despite a few victories here or there, the left has been solidly winning in the US for many decades, and will continue to win even more in the future until they have burned down Western civilization to its foundation and salted the earth around the ashes. Trump was just a temporary delay in the inevitable leftist takeover of America.
Of course, this is DOOM, or black pilled as I prefer. But it’s better to be realistic about the future of conservatism.
The grifting principle.What principles do they espouse? Cheap imported labour? Tax breaks for corporations? Forever wars for Israel?
If that's the case though, they're essentially cutting off their noses to spite their faces; Trump was a response to what the Dems did during Obama's terms. The reaction to Biden's will likely be far, far worse.
Will they riot again?
Start up the Green New Deal after Covid.Probably. It’s why I find this whole shitshow to be hilarious. They really don’t understand the country is made up of about 330 million people with diverse ideas, but one underlying belief is that we should just be allowed to do our own things in peace without the government telling us what to do and not giving us recourse. It’s something their base doesn’t get -they think we should be emulating Europe, while ignoring the fact that Europe is in deep shit and most of the stuff the left advocates has already been tried and shown to fail miserably.
But yeah that’s why I am kind of hoping Biden wins but the GOP holds the Senate. The backblast in 2022 and 2024 is going to be epic. Hell, someone on SB pointed out the only reason Trump is struggling is because of COVID, and it’s true. They don’t get that by and large people don’t want their agenda, but rather that they think they do until they see the price tag (in dollars or other non monetary costs) attached. Then it’s “thanks but no thanks”
Good.It was thankfully quiet last night. Police were on full alert with riot squads suited up and standing by, but there was no aggressive activity -- none reported on police alerts, none witnessed by myself or any or my security officers on radio, and none mentioned in the media.
True, but I’d still like Trump to win another term as president.Well, I actually thought last night went rather well. By all understanding, the Republicans will hold the Senate, which means any real damage Joe Biden could have caused outside of foreign policy is dead (Oh, but foreign policy is going to be a shitshow). All Presidents are worse in their second term, from Reagan to Clinton to Bush to Obama, so Trump avoiding those issues probably will help Republicans moving into the future. He also demonstrated the new path forward for the GOP, bringing in minority voters with conservative social values and working to help them get good jobs, and building a new party. And we got our Supreme Court seats. So...for a somewhat Trumper...I think the country came out rather well all things considered.
