Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

He's panicking.
If the race is close, he can make a play to cause enough violence to reverse the result, like in 2000.
But if it's an embarrassing blowout? His fat ass is going to jail.
This isn't panic. Stealing power through sabotage and violence has been the plan for over four years. It's what all of MAGA's efforts have been put towards (cultivating fascist paramilitaries, corrupting the judiciary, infiltrating the elections bureaucracy with zealots, etc.). Hell, just look at Trump's campaigning: he's spent absolutely fuck-all effort trying to broaden his appeal to win more votes, but lots of effort trying to radicalize his base to coup for him.
He will make a play to seize power through violence, regardless of what the poll results are. That is his primary, intended, planned path to victory.
No, you're wrong.
He's a complete, delusional narcissist, he genuinely believes most of America loves him, it's just his enemies who cheat to win. This is true in every setting for him, business, legal, personal, everything.
He was sure he would win 2024 in a walk and blow Biden out of the water, and he's shocked a woman, a half n-word/half curry-head WOMAN of all people is threatening him!
You can't understand how he thinks, you have to have been raised by them, he is a devout follower of the religion of Donald J Trump.
I'm not wrong; I'm just describing a different aspect of the situation than you are. I'm explaining what he's doing, while you're explaining how he deludes himself into thinking he's justified for doing it.
You said his original plan was to use violence.
I'm saying his original plan was to not need violence, obviously he would win legitimately, he's Donald J Trump.
And if there's any chance his enemies will try to steal what's rightfully his (ie America), he will use as much violence as he can to make them forever regret it.
