Oddbean new post about login | logout Very sad what’s happening in Venezuela but it’s pretty hard to map a dictator ignoring the vote count and exit polling by bringing in the military to Trump challenging the veracity of the voting process (like dems did in 2016) which led to a protest in DC which led to protestors in the capitol building.
Actually, it’s really not that difficult. It’s the standard Dictator’s Playbook.
You’re right that time Trump mandated people to get an experimental vaccine or lose their jobs was very dictatorial. Or that other time when Trump called half the country extremist based on their Christian religion, that was also very dictatorial. Or that time Trump used his DOJ to target his main political opponent during an election… Oh wait, these were all Biden aka his handlers.
You’re voting MAGA, I’m voting Anyone but Trump. The polls are tied up. It’s a matter of turnout. If Harris loses, she’ll concede. If Trump loses, he’ll lie and cause violence. It’s all very predictable.
So if Trump wins the left won’t cause any violence? Alrighty, I’ll check back in on this thread if that fateful day comes.
I do not think, if they lose, that Biden/Harris will summon their followers to the White House, claim falsely that they were cheated, then direct them to attack the Capitol to violently disrupt the vote certification. No, I do not. Of course, if some BLM people break a car window in Detroit in anger, MAGAs will equate the two, which will be retarded.
Probably nothing. https://www.reuters.com/world/us/trump-tells-christians-they-wont-have-vote-after-this-election-2024-07-27/
Well as long as Reuters said it I’m sure it’s true, the media has rarely ever taken anything Trump says out of context to create tension and confusion…
Every word Donald Trump says is a lie, so the source of each of his quotes doesn’t really matter.
Yea I’ve heard the media make that argument. But let me guess you probably also voted for the guy who was shut down from running for president in the 90’s because he was a known plagiarist. I don’t love everything Trump says or does but I at least can understand what he is saying and know it’s coming from his own brain.
