Looking at the already voted numbers I see. Not looking good at all for Trump. He's already crying foul. Bidens President now and democrats have lawyers already engaged to yes, stop the steal.
As for moving on to other topics, we will. When Kamala wins his trials begin again. First up, being sentenced for committing 34 felonies. Trust me, we will have lots to talk about.

The Strongman Fantasy (text and audio)
And Dictatorship in Real Life
Timothy Snyder | Nov 01, 2024
https://snyder.substack.com/p/the-strongman-fantasy-text-and-audio
Quite a few Americans like the idea of strongman rule. Why not a dictator who will get things done?
I lived in eastern Europe when memories of communism were fresh. I have visited regions in Ukraine where Russia imposed its occupation regime. I have spent decades reading testimonies of people who lived under Nazi or Stalinist rule. I have seen death pits, some old, some freshly dug. And I have friends who have lived under authoritarian regimes, including political prisoners and survivors of torture. Some of the people I trusted most have been assassinated.
So I think that there is an answer to this question.
Strongman rule is a fantasy. Essential to it is the idea that a strongman will be your strongman. He won't. In a democracy, elected representatives listen to constituents. We take this for granted, and imagine that a dictator would owe us something. But the vote you cast for him affirms your irrelevance. The whole point is that the strongman owes us nothing. We get abused and we get used to it.
Another pleasant illusion is that the strongman will unite the nation. But an aspiring dictator will always claim that some belong and others don't. He will define one group after another as the enemy. This might feel good, so long as you feel that you are on the right side of the line. But now fear is the essence of life. The politics of us-and-them, once begun, never ends.
We dream that a strongman will let us focus on America. But dictatorship opens our country to the worst the world has to offer. An American strongman will measure himself by the wealth and power of other dictators. He will befriend them and compete with them. From them he will learn new ways to oppress and to exploit his own people.
At least, the fantasy goes, the strongman will get things done. But dictatorial power today is not about achieving anything positive. It is about preventing anyone else from achieving anything. The strongman is really the weak man: his secret is that he makes everyone else weaker.
Unaccountable to the law and to voters, the dictator has no reason to consider anything beyond his own personal interests. In the twenty-first century, those are simple: dying in bed as a billionaire. To enrich himself and to stay out of prison, the strongman dismantles the justice system and replaces civil servants with loyalists.
The new bureaucrats will have no sense of accountability. Basic government functions will break down. Citizens who want access will learn to pay bribes. Bureaucrats in office thanks to patronage will be corrupt, and citizens will be desperate. Quickly the corruption becomes normal, even unquestioned.
As the fantasy of strongman rule fades into everyday dictatorship, people realize that they need things like water or schools or Social Security checks. Insofar as such goods are available under a dictatorship, they come with a moral as well as a financial price. When you go to a government office, you will be expected to declare your personal loyalty to the strongman.
If you have a complaint about these practices, too bad. Americans are litigious people, and many of us assume that we can go to the police or sue. But when you vote a strong man in, you vote out the rule of law. In court, only loyalism and wealth will matter. Americans who do not fear the police will learn to do so. Those who wear the uniform must either resign or become the enforcers of the whims of one man.
Everybody (except the dictator and his family and friends) gets poorer. The market system depends upon competition. Under a strongman, there will be no such thing. The strongman's clan will be favored by government. Our wealth inequality, bad enough already, will get worse. Anyone hoping for prosperity will have to seek the patronage of the official oligarchs. Running a small business will bec

Do you honestly believe that IF Kamala wins and IF Trump is thrown in jail for the rest of his life, our problems will just somehow end?
I don't think you're THAT stupid, THUGR.
Yanno, I wouldn't mind a Kamala* win. She'd* be nailed to all of the problems that the globalists, financialists, and neocons- thru the agency of the DNC and captured media - have stuck us with over the past 8+ years.
It would be great, watching them flail around with recession and inflation, military defeat, political and currency isolation... cranking up censorship and disinformation and memory-holing and repression up to 11 and watching you* slowly break your brain into imbecility, molding your mind into the shape-of-the-day.
But I don't want that for us. Or even you. After the elections, no matter how it turns out, I hope you come out of your hyperpartisan mania and turn into a person.

It was your suggestion that I make this my signature, so you've had to read that over and over again for over a year every time I made a post because of that.
If you'll remember, that was my reply to all of Ted's and your posts about how Trump was going to jail.
The first half of my signature has already come true. In 4 days the other half comes true.

Quote:It is hard to get an idea into the head of a Trumptard but all Trumptards I know have been convinced for years that Trump can't lose. Nothing Trump has done or said can cause him to lose. They display some mighty strange behavior because of that belief but it is no different than their other beliefs that their own actions cannot hurt them. For example, the smokers keep on smoking because their actions cannot end with cancer, emphysema, heart disease. The gluttons keep digging their own graves with their teeth because their actions cannot hurt them. The philanders are certain their wives will never know nor divorce them. Stupid financial decisions can't end in bankruptcy, only some evil banker who doesn't like the Trumptard could cause financial problems. It is never the Trumptard's fault. It is never Trump's fault when he has troubles. Trumptards are convinced that their actions cannot hurt them, that hurt arises from the government or the boss or a banker who are the only active entities that might hurt them. And Trump will fix that!

Shut the fuck up, loser.
There will be plenty of time for your crying the next 4 years.
All you did the last 4 years was cry about everything, so it will be really fun getting to watch you really have something to cry about again.

At this point you have to wonder who in our Government is working to keep Harris from being elected too.
How do we already have the jobs report for October? Why are they releasing it 4 days before the election instead of waiting to drop those terrible numbers until after the election like they always would have in this situation?
This is something that they easily could have hidden until after November 5th. We've witnessed this stuff happen hundreds if not thousands of times before.

I'm wondering if this is the Joe Biden* admin lighting the Kamala Harris campaign on fire in the 11th hour?
