After he loses, in the yugest way possible, let's give him a participation 'trophy' in the form of a lengthy 'shady vacation' in a nice secure place away from responsibilities.

That is some serious optimism.

When polls show the Democrats way ahead we still lose. Polls are practically tied and we're even losing ground in important places because of our literal obsession with giving Bloodthirsty Bibi whatever the fuck he wants unconditionally...

That's not even to mention the ratfucking planned to occur in some swing states to make the vote counting stop until SCOTUS pulls another Bush v Gore.... The smaller red counties are done earlier since they are smaller they get done first, Trump shows a lead, then they "find irregularities" with the larger majority Democrat districts and drag that out by hand counting until the SCOTUS says "pencils down, the election is over you need to stop now!"

I'm generally a pessimistic person but I feel like this is almost a guaranteed Trump win... Still vote of course, just be ready to either storm the supreme court or get used to the idea that we're going to learn what it's like to be in a dictatorship.
