I kept trying to tell people that polls and surveys is just astrology for math nerds

I think it’s time to update and broaden my filter range on Lemmy for the next few years…

Yeah its one thing if youre a trump supporter because then you are just a sheep but i actually dont understand whats going on in the head if those who have to think about the decision

[-] paddirn@lemmy.world 97 points 1 day ago

Americans are watching this too and wondering what the fuck is wrong with our fellow Americans. This should not even be close.

[-] UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 39 points 1 day ago

America is a fascist nation dripping in right wing propaganda.

If we elect Trump a second time, the only people who can express shock are the ones who have never seen a neighbor wave a Confederate flag, brandish a Blue Lives Punisher logo, have FOX News blasting away in the living room, or demand you laugh at their joke full of ethnic slurs.

I'm really hoping that it isn't close and that the polls were lying "just to make it interesting"

I second this emotion

I'm really hoping Harris wins, and we can make politics boring again. I know that if Trump wins, we'll hear about all the insanity he will put in place for the next four years.

Sure, if he loses, Trump will cry foul, but that doesn't have the same legs as it would if he wins.

I just want Trump to be some washed out TV "celebrity" and politics to be as entertaining as it always is: not very.

I'm not American and all I hear about right now is American politics. Y'all need to figure your shit out.

next four years

Optimist.

Trump is not the problem. Trump is the symptom. The problem is a somewhat powerful minority faction in the US actively pushing to dismantle our democracy. Project 2025 wasn't written by Trump and didn't write itself.

Harris' win is step 1. We then need to push to shore up our democracy and prevent a more cunning trump replacement.

Watch the movie "Bad Faith". It lays it all out.

Tl;Dr: It's pretty much entirely the fault of Evangelicals.

[-] T156@lemmy.world 11 points 1 day ago

Plus he's proven that having a cult of personality works, and caused a notable shift in the US Republican party.

For all we know, that might be a permanent change, rather than a temporary one.

If Trump loses, that dissolves the Trump cult and the next Trump that comes along will just be compared to Trump

[-] ultranaut@lemmy.world 18 points 1 day ago

I wouldn't count on that. These are cultists who are ready to deify Trump and start sending people to the camps. I don't think losing an election will change the fundamental cult dynamic, or the hatred and anger that has been organized within the cult. We are stuck with this bullshit probably for the rest of our lives, one way or the other.

His IQ is currently equal to his amount of felonies

Edit: The fact that this comment has exactly 37 up votes makes it even funnier

[-] AA5B@lemmy.world 18 points 1 day ago

So far. He may become a genius over the next year

[-] Zink@programming.dev 22 points 1 day ago

I’m just hoping this comment ages like milk as his convictions pile up with his other trials.

[-] m4xie@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 1 day ago

What other trials? Those will never happen now.

[-] Malfeasant@lemm.ee 11 points 1 day ago

That's being rather generous...

With electoral reform, we could have more then two artificially limited options. We could have competition in our elections. We could be free...

[-] davel@lemmy.ml 33 points 1 day ago

We will never have election reform that represents the will of the people, because the capitalist class, which has run this country since its inception through bourgeois revolution, will never allow “tyranny of the majority” reforms. They would sooner unleash fascism upon us than allow real democracy.

[-] Shapillon@lemmy.world 39 points 1 day ago

But currently you aren't and the options are damage control or burning the house down...

The worst one for me is that there's some chode near me that displays a flag on his house fucking bragging that he's voting for a convicted felon.

They're proud of the fact that they're supporting a criminal, and I bet they'd be ok with him if he was an open Nazi as well (they're just fine with the same tactics and having literal Nazi flag wavers in their midst).

[-] spicytuna62@lemmy.world 62 points 1 day ago

Adam Conover's last video changed my view on the shock. They're not voting for him despite his bad qualities. They're voting for him because of his bad qualities. Telling them he's a Nazi and a felon and blah blah blah will reinforce their idea that he's the right guy. When people who worked in his government come out against him, the response is, "Of course they did. They're part of the swamp we're trying to drain."

Reason is dead. We're never going to convince these people that Trump is unfit for the job and a horrible human being. It's time to stop being so shocked these people exist. They always have and will continue to exist. All we can do is show up and end the man's political career.

Funny - it's the same for roughly 50% of Americans too - which is horrifying.

Edit: sorry it was more than 50% of Americans. Fuck everyone. Goodbye.

Watching America edging fascism is my pastime in between watching my own country edging fascism.
