 After watching last night, I’m convinced Kamala is going to win (legitimately or not). It had Trump/Biden debate vibes all over it and I felt the same way after that in 2020.

There’s a lot of people that say it won’t matter or that all politicians lie anyways, but this is objectively bad for both bitcoin and the USA’s founding principles. Harris has been nothing but hostile to the Bitcoin sector and if our price targets come true, bitcojners will be her number 1 target in a few years. At the very least, Trump is willing to sit at the table.

Alas, our country’s population is retarded, and we deserve everything that is coming our way. 
 Who gives a fuck?  Nothing will change for this generation. Maybe next. 

Pain hasn't even begun. And only when pain comes, will change follow. 
 I agree that the pain has barely started. 
 I'm old enough to remember when Bitcoin was fuck you money and not the government has to agree with us money in order to work.  
 I agree that either way, the protocol will still work. 

But it’s different when one side is specifically targeting you imo. Just my 2 sats! 
 One could argue a Harris presidency brings about hyperbitocoinization sooner 
 Very true! 
 Harris could do some very nasty things like ban self custody remove bitcoin wallets from all apps, App Store, etc. think Parlor make hodlers  criminals.  And then weaponize the DOJ to make a few examples of some prominent people.  It will all be done under the guise of a crisis, or equality.

Harris would also support ushering in the one world government where we all bow to the knees of the world economic forum, or possibly the world health organization or something else like that.  That organization could say #BTC IS A THREAT to global financial stability.  FTX may not have gotten the effect desired.

 Completely agree. One could argue she would bring about a bitcoin standard faster via the accelerationist view.  
 I had the same vibes. I hope I am wrong. 
I appreciate Bitcoin, but I don’t support the faster destruction of America or its founding ideals for “hyperbitcoinization” or any of the other hosts or reasons I see.  I just want my kids to grow up in a country close to what I experienced. 
 That country is looooong gone (sadly). I’m sure there are pockets around the country where you can still have that experience. I don’t think the USA overall is a high trust society anymore. 

The only spots in my area where I see kids in packs similar to what I experienced growing up (leaving bikes unwatched, playing sports outside all day, talking to neighbors/strangers, not on a tablet by themselves, etc) are in gated neighborhoods (HOA). 
 Everyone thought this in 2016 too. Stop blackpilling 
 Im just pointing out for my area. I’m sure there are still pockets where this exists. 
 The political election is only in your area? Didn’t know
