I'm gonna repeat myself. I don't think it will matter. Biden could win all 50 states, but there will still be 1/5th of this country behind traitor Trump. Even if 250m people stand against the rhetoric and violence this group advocates for, we've been socially fractured. The American people have been demoralized too much for too long to oppose such a unified force.

The Supreme Court showed their hand. They have already overriden an election in 2000. They can and will do it again. Too many things that are happening are too similar to every past collapse in history.

The one chance we had was unifying as anti-nazi. When that didn't happen, our fate was sealed.

The only reason that happened in 2000 was because Gore decided it was for the best to let it go.

Bullshit. That's not the only reason that happened. That just made it go more smoothly because Gore incorrectly decided to be the bigger man.

I think no matter what it's inevitable. We never fully acknowledged our insanely bad propaganda problem. While that persists the Republican party isn't going anywhere...

I really can't believe Russia is going to get exactly what they wanted. With the US essentially dead we're going to enter a decade of wars of aggression. China will make their move and Russia will spread into NATO countries as we pull out of NATO.
