It would have to be a big loss. If it's at all close, there's going to be a lot of violence.

The only other thing I could think of that could end things without a lot more violence is if a scandal finally stuck to him and resulted in him losing support. Like, the Epstein stuff. The right has spent years getting their base riled up against pedophiles and groomers. If people believed that Trump really was a pedophile, it could finally sink him. But, nothing seems to stick to him.

Whatever happens, I hope scholars can study him and figure out why he's so charismatic to so many people. I don't get it. I look at him and I see a dumb, fat blow-hard who lies constantly and can't even string a sentence together. Yet, for some reason, other people look at that and see a hero.
