... won't be so exciting - Kamala will scrape through and Trump will moan and then back down?

Can't see a thread on this, but if there is, please do tell me x

Bloody hope so!

itsjustbiology · 05/11/2024 17:04

I think Trump will win..just a gut feeling!

SabreIsMyFave · 05/11/2024 17:05

LOL good one @MumOfOneAllAlone ! 😆

SHIT WILL KICK OFF if Trump loses. Get ready for the riots!

OneSillyEagle · 05/11/2024 17:06

If KH wins I think we can expect a whole load of whining and allegations of cheating. Again.

BuffaloCauliflower · 05/11/2024 17:06

I think more states will go to Kamala than expected, the polling I’m seeing is interesting, and how many are being herded which could skew the polls in an unusual election like this. One state has had just in early votes, 80% of the number of entire votes cast in that state in 2020. I’m tentatively hopeful for Kamala and think it could be an interesting picture tomorrow.

BuffaloCauliflower · 05/11/2024 17:08

@SabreIsMyFave have you seen the DA of Philadelphia literally saying anyone with ideas if militia and riots should ‘eff around and find out’. Amazing.

Sirzy · 05/11/2024 17:11

I hope your right but I have a horrible feeling Trump will win and if he doesn’t win then things will kick off big style

Igiveupagain · 05/11/2024 17:12

We can only hope for a Harris win, and then Trump will declare the election as illegal.

Brananan · 05/11/2024 17:13

I feel unusually uninvested tbh.

BigSmallFigBall · 05/11/2024 17:14

This is best case scenario.

LilasPrettyCafe · 05/11/2024 17:15

They’re not boarding up the windows in case Harris’ supporters become violent.

TeaMistress · 05/11/2024 17:15

Let's hope that the election proceeds calmly and in accordance with the democratic process and the losing side accepts the result with grace and humility. No public disorder and no repeat of the disgraceful violence we saw 4 years ago or the absurd tantrum we saw the former president throw.

Whatever happens, Trump will say he won.
I hope he's wrong!

MrTiddlesTheCat · 05/11/2024 17:25

This election scares me way more than normal. I fear the aftermath will be ugly whoever wins.

Floralnomad · 05/11/2024 17:25

I hope Trump loses but having watched a fair amount of the coverage I’ve come to the conclusion that there are some very stupid Americans and I have an awful feeling he may win .

AnotherHotDrink · 05/11/2024 17:26

One thing I know is that gamblers are losers and Trump has more gamblers voting for him to win.

BluePapillon · 05/11/2024 17:27

He’ll lose and it won’t be that close. He’s figured it out already and isn’t up for more violence. I agree with you OP it’s going to be a whimper not a bang.

Tbh, the actions at the last election were highly suspect, so you would hardly blame people for thinking cheating has taken place. Boxes being dropped off at polling stations at the dead of night, when the relevant boxes were already in the building. Polling station buildings locked up, and republicans who were checking on suspicious actions not allowed to enter whilst counting took place, amongst many other very dodgy actions. I honestly think corruption is alive and kicking on both sides in American politics. Whoever they get, America is going to be incredibly weakened, which is very worrying in a world which is kicking off at the moment.

Is that why so many fires managed to consume so much during the Floyd peaceful protests?

I hope Christian schools have beefed up their security especially in Nashville.

What, so you are saying that the majority of Americans are stupid, because they don’t agree with your views? Because if he wins, it’s down to a majority vote.
