A little bit of a concern here is that there are so many scroats in the Trump family so that when Donny does fuck off, he's going to use his sons to carry on the work of the 'greatest president America has ever seen'.
All of this vote fraud and cheating rhetoric will be used as a stick to beat Biden/Harris when Trump jr then runs in 2024.
His speech last night apparently saw some of his more dangerous supporters rocking up outside voting poll count buildings in Georgia, heavily armed. Generally they just stand there looking goofy but it just takes one small event and there is a tragedy with deaths.
Kind regards,
Bob O

Indeed FakeBob, I've been saying this for some time. And even if it's not his direct hellspawn, the American Fascist Movement (because that is what it is) will find a new figurehead. The genie is not going back in the bottle and the danger is that next time they come back with someone who is actually basically competent. While it looks like Biden is now going to win, and that's great, the idea that over 40% of the US electorate has looked at the the open white supremacism, the authoritarian power grabs, the blatant corruption, the abuse of power, the assault on the fundamentals of democracy of the past 4 years and gone "Yep, I like the look of that, let's have some more of that" is not one that any of us should find comforting. Much like COVID, if the US doesn't use the next 4 years to prepare for the second wave of this virus it will come back in much more deadly and virulent form |

All my fears summed up perfectly in one post...and there I was, thinking a high turnout would see Trump get crushed... unbelievable... |

Not all of them. Some of them think "lower taxes" and in some cases their life was eaier under Trump - when you've got a choice between easier life but evil, and harder life and lackluster ... you know whuman nature.. |

Some of them looked at their bank balance (pre Covid) and the economic/job situation had been improving under him, although due in a part to polices under Barry starting to come to fruition Human nature, indeed not just an American thing, look after yourself first |

Sorry yes, you are of course right. Plus for example Cuban exiles in Florida who swallowed the Republican propaganda that Democracts would enact "socialism" so that the US would instantly become like Cuba. Nonetheless, all these people were if not enthusiastic about the blatant assaults on democracy, the corruption, the white supremacism etc they were at the very least prepared to discount all the shit and still vote for it. I'd guess there were probably people who voted for Hitler who thought he was a bit strong on the Jewish stuff but liked the look of his economic policies. |

The loser of the Georgia race can request a recount if the winning margin is less than .5%, and it currently is, so Biden needs to increase his margin if that's to be avoided.
BBC aren't reporting that Biden has already won Arizona but other news outlets are, if he indeed has taken Arizona and ends up taking Georgia too that means the race is over. Nevada has also yet to be called but is looking likely to go to Biden, and Pennsylvania might still flip over to him too. I don't see any way Trump can win this now.

I don't think it's possible for Biden to get over 5% margin now. |
