2020 US Election Thread

Nah that ain't happening lol

Took the US air force and months of civil war for Gaddafi to be dragged out in the streets.

If you are inclined towards safety, I would avoid any demonstrations around this time.

If you're a thrill seeker, however then have at it. I'm a thrill seeker myself but I doubt if anything will happen locally and I can't be bothered to travel.

But yeah more likely the cops are going to be doing their fair amount of violence in response, if anything happens.

I could be completely wrong but it just seems like the country has been a tinderbox of civil unrest for the last year or so and so I think there's definitely a potential there.

Any reason Trump wouldn't invoke the insurrection act after the votes are cast?

I’m definitely inclined toward safety but FOMO might win this one.

I saw an ad on YouTube that said we can’t see who you voted for but we can see if you voted. If that’s true I’m not sure. I guess someone can or you could vote twice.

I’m not voting btw.

Yep, that's why one anti-Trump pundit hopes for a blue vote "too big to rig, too real to steal." Behind the scenes, I think there's a majority of Republican governors/election officials/ biased judge panels that will not be squeamish about sabotaging unfavourable election results on any pretext.

Trump's sent out the message, so they know what's expected of them:-

The President's maneuvering ... is taking place ahead of a court hearing in Texas Monday morning on a Republican request to throw out 127,000 drive-thru votes in a key county. The case is one of a growing number of GOP legal gambits to jam up vote counting or reject ballots and comes amid new concerns that the Postal Service, after reforms initiated by its new pro-Trump CEO, may struggle to deliver a deluge of mail-in ballots before counting deadlines.

On Sunday, the President stoked fears of a disputed election that could have corrosive long-term effects by raising the false argument that results not declared on an election night were somehow illegitimate.

"I think it's a terrible thing when people or states are allowed to tabulate ballots for a long period of time after the election is over because it can only lead to one thing, and that's very bad. You know what that thing is. I think it's a very dangerous, terrible thing," Trump told reporters.
In another ominous comment, the President said that as soon as voting was over in states like Pennsylvania, "We're going in with our lawyers,"
