It won't be the electoral college, it'll be a handful of Republican strongholds refusing to certify. It'll play out like a repeat of Gore v Bush except the GOP's argument will be way dumber.
The Supreme Court will hand it to Trump 6-3 and the Dems will still blame Jill Stein.
(On the Green Party)
I kind of think they'll blame Chappell Roan and use it as an excuse to be homophobic.
I have had liberals on every social media site I am on tell me if Trump wins then I, a nonbinary person, deserve to be hate crimed for not supporting Harris, so yeah... I do think that. If genocide isn't a red line, what makes you think queer rights would be?
The parts of the community that stan democrats tend to be white so I think they'll stay on board bc white people tend to choose whiteness over all else
This is what may well end up happening
It won't be a repeat of Bush v. Gore, because that election was actually pretty close. This will be one of the most hilariously lopsided elections in history, where Kamala wins like 75% of the vote, and wins every single swing state (along with at least one red state no one expected to go blue), but the GOP makes a dumb argument and the Supreme Court forces Trump to win.
She's not nearly as popular as she should be to pull that off.
The whackadoos will really come out of the woodwork then. Nutcases of every variety.
what do you mean by that lol
I mean we've already had two nutcases going after this nitwit just for running again. If he "wins" against a majority and against the EC through some amazing and unconstitutional horseshit in Congress and the courts, we are probably going to see a coup.
he won in 2016 with an electoral majority but lost the popular vote, and since democrats refuse to do anything but eventually become republicans, they haven't made a way to prevent this. Trump could easily do it again this year.
american democracy is actually extremely shit, who knew
Read the original comment again. Americans will tolerate an EC win without a majority. But Congress refusing to certify, the supreme court backing them, and the presidency being decided by the legislature instead of the votes? Has it ever happened?
Again, we've seen two whackadoos go after him just for running. If he "wins" this way?
2000 ended up being decided by the Florida state government and federal supreme court so it's kinda happened. I think the deciding factor is if the democrats are willing to go along or not, and considering how much they keep banging on about needing a "strong republican party" and "national unity", there is no reason to think they would actually put up a fight in a 2000-style (or similar) situation.
Here's hoping more assassins come out of the woodwork though!
what do you mean by 'whackadoos' because he seems to be doing fine 4 years after the end of his term. its awfully pathetic of your 'justice' to take this long to imprison a cut and dry criminal.
And america does not have the political will for a popular revolution, where were the riots all across the country when roe v wade was destroyed? Where are the mass movements against trump threatening to overthrow him if he wins even legitimately?
Nothing, scraps. Americans will get angry, then shrug their shoulders and roll over like the dogs of empire they are.
i assume they mean the two assassination attempts (so far)
