Because too many people are in fact window-lickers (as noted below).
Politics
Cheesing Up
Oh, absolutely, this is the case. The media makes vastly more money during close national elections. If Trump and Harris were held to the same standards, Trump would be 5-7% down and it wouldn’t even be a contest. But the absolutely insane things Trump says don’t get reported or get buried, while relatively innocuous actions or statements of Harris get distorted and reported on incessantly. This is to make the election be a contest not a landslide for Harris.
And to be clear: this would happen if Harris were the one doing insane things and Trump were the normal one. The media needs the election to be close to make that cheddar. That’s what’s going on.
Decouprated
Also, anyone who believes that January 6, 2021, was not a coup is a big fucking screaming idiot. Of course it was a coup.
That weren’t no tourist expedition to the Capitol. Jesus Fucking Christ. It was, like most things done by Trump, poorly-executed and cowardly. But it was a coup. And I’d say that even if I supported Trump. Too much clownery for words these days.
Slappity
Anyone who votes for Trump in 2024 is a fucking idiot. You know what he is, what he’s done and that he is a doddering old Alzheimer’s case who will still do a coup after an unsuccessful one three years prior.
Here’s my anti-endorsement: Go fuck yourself. Since I can’t slap you through the computer screen, do that to yourself too.
Chinese Takeout
Ha! That makes me like him even more.
Couped Up
If Harris wins, will the Supreme Court steal the election for Trump?
This is the most likely coup path and the only plausible one as Trump will not have the support of the military at all (usually necessary for a coup).
Also, he’s old and tired so that makes doing the coup more of a challenge. But if he does pull it off, the Supreme Court is the way it’ll go down.

There could be principled objections to Harris and her policies. Could be. I haven’t really seen that, though. Most of what I’ve witnessed has just been misogyny and racism.
Personally, I think she’s slightly better than Obama. Which is not great. But is like a ray of heavenly light compared to Trump and Vance. And since Bezos decided to bend the knee to Trump, no way in hell I’m voting for that ticket (as if I needed another reason to not vote for a senile declining old rapist).
Please Let’s Graduate
If it weren’t for the Electoral College, the election would not even be close. I predict Harris will get 52% of the popular vote. And still might not win.
Thou Thou
Indeed it will.
I think I need to practice shooting again. Might need that in this country soon enough. It’s hard to find a shooting range outside of the military, though, where you can target shoot anything more than 300 meters out. The kind of shooting I’d need to do, I’d want a range with targets out to a thousand meters. I’m very good at all distances but I’m great at long range. And I’m getting too old to jump out of planes and run around in trenches and that kinda shit.
Not all liberals are afraid of guns.
That Light is a Nuke
Fuck me, if Trump wins, Ukraine will be crushed and thus there is an 80% chance we will be fighting in Poland by 2032. Same for the South China Sea but that’s like 90%+. Trump absolutely will sell out Ukraine, Taiwan and all our allies.
If Harris wins, there’s still a large chance of the above but it’s more like 30% for Poland and 70% for SCS. Better, but not great.
WWIII, here we come I guess. Fucking hell.
Narrative Control
Polls for the presidential election are gonna be way, way wrong again and then we’ll have to spend another four fucking years being gaslit about how “the polls were really correct” and that “the experts actually did get it right” when anyone with an ounce of sense and statistics knowledge can tell that’s just utter bullshit.
I’m really looking forward to that.
Cow Wards
They are afraid of what will happen if Trump wins. Fucking cowards.
Brotopia Cannot Exist
‘They’re Just Over It’: How Trump Has Converted Male Frustration Into a Movement.
The reaction in many ways doesn’t make a lot of sense (as in actually solving anything1), but that there was a backlash is completely predictable.
For a couple of decades now since it curdled into uselessness, feminism has been spouting the idea that men are inherently evil (Schrödinger’s rapist), that an unattractive man just minding his own business and existing is “creepy,” and that men are responsible and accountable for everything, while women should have power with no responsibility or accountability.
Needless to say, that puts many men off and makes them angry. Including me. I just don’t think that punishing or hating women for it will actually fix anything. Nor will voting for Trump.
But yeah, it’s perfectly understandable to not want to vote for a party that’s supported people and still contains some people that tell you that you are inherently terrible.
Big fucking shock.
Elden
That is messed up indeed. It’s possible that the election from the popular vote perspective will be a blowout for Harris but Trump still might squeak out a legit win due to those elderly white people and our doofy Elector College system. No coup required.
We really might see Harris win the popular vote by 54%+ but still lose. Now won’t that be something.
Rattus
This is a Fox News ratfuck designed to suppress turnout among Latino Dems. There’ll be tons of this the closer we get to the election.
