I mean, I already got proven right on Dems walking back anything on trans rights, but I guess that's basically a free space.

I guess we'll get a scene like Pelosi donning African clothes, but with one of the Dems in American Indian clothes. Coincide that with one of the rare good things Nixon did for Indigenous groups being rolled back.

Please don't hand me the lathe though, I'm just following patterns.

Just to be contrarian and not answer the question, what do we expect the actual material differences to be depending on who's elected?

Foreign policy probably looks really bad either way.
Harris is somewhat better on LGBTQ+ issues but both presidents seem content to sit back and let individual states do whatever in that regard.
Climate change/natural disasters are probably worse under Trump given that he loves to randomly gut important government agencies.

many people are going to vote based on the difference in abortion rights positions.

Kamala is just gonna say "Supreme Court is against it so theres literally nothing I can do"
I guess that's better than making it worse but if you're in a red state I don't think it could get much worse.

I will personally be the deciding vote. What should I write in?

Republicans stall efforts to finish counting votes after election day enough to muddy the waters so that Trump gets a win like Bush in 2000. Kopmala gracefully concedes and every liberal's brain explodes when they try to suppress the thought of peacefully transferring power to who they were told was literally Hitler for the last 12 months

Alright, heres whats gonna happen- when the results are called in, Donald Trump will have won the electoral vote. On inauguration day, when Biden leaves office and shakes hands with Trump, he will be shot.

Immediately after, The gunman will be dealt with by the secret service. The FBI will conclude that the gunman was aiming for Trump, but missed.

Regardless who wins, I'm so ready to dunk on the losers, it will be a grand day

The swing states all have a lot of fuckery at the local level and it will take a couple days before we know who is the true winner. SCOTUS will try to intervene but the lower courts will get ahead of them to ensure the states wrap up the counting. Harris probably wins, but the chuds will be frothing at the mouth. I'm setting the over/under for how many get shot dead by the authorities at 3.5.

short of Iran launching retaliatory strikes against the Saudi oil fields, i think it's totally a coin flip at this point

I'll make a safe one - regardless of who wins, about 1/6 of the country is going to lose their fucking minds and claim the election was "stolen" or some similar language indicating that the win wasn't legitimate. If Harris wins it will be "stolen", if Trump wins they will use a different word because calling an election "stolen" is right wing and thus icky.

Regardless of who wins, there will be recounts requested in at least two states and lawsuits filed regarding the election in at least one - these numbers will be much higher if Harris wins.

Put odds of a riot if Trump wins at about 50/50, odds of a riot if Harris wins at about 75%.

I'm being pessimistic: I think Holocaust Harris is going to win because American liberals are so bloodthirsty and racist that they turn up in droves for her. I hope I'm wrong

[–] FortifiedAttack@hexbear.net 4 points 3 days ago

Counterpoint: Trump is just as bloodthirsty and racist, so it's still a toss-up.

[–] chickentendrils@hexbear.net 11 points 3 days ago

Uhh something emblematic of the country and unfortunate, like a police hate crime somewhere, and Harris wins.

Hexbear is a different breed, though.
