4. Don't count your chickens before they've hatched. Trump could win.

Not the popular vote but a mere 70,000 vote swing in key states could do it.

Does he have to win over new voters? Nope, voter suppression and new laws in this states could be enough.

The Electoral College sucks, so does the fact that every bum fuck red state gets 2 Senators, add in the fact that the Republicans have gerrymandered the shit out of those states for control and you have a horrible political system.

Trump being reelected would be the cherry on top for a non representative fascist government.

2016, because how in hell could a cheesy game-show host win?

He then proceeded to kill a million USians, and still got a large vote in 2020.

My crystal ball is broken.

7. I wondered why the right wanted their voters to die

from covid. Then the vote-suppression laws got passed.

They are not relying on the voter numbers to win. This is not a game; rather, if it is, then it's Tombstone City poker with guns under the table.

We can't afford to ride the high road into hell.

They should only believe what he told them.

The rest was all fake news.
