Anyone else getting a vibe that this is the most consequential election of our lives....and US History?

My 1st vote in '72 was for George McGovern.

Seems like a long, strange political trip.....

1. Yes. If Trump wins, this could be the last election.

2. Lifetime? Yup. In US history? Probably 1860 still has that one.

Only time could tell, on the latter.

3. Or 1864

If Lincoln lost re-election who knows if the Confederacy gives up.

4. Kiss

our way of life goodbye, we need to all VOTE. WE did it 2020 we can do it again.

We can't let him get near the WH.

5. Every election is the most important of our lives

It will be this way for a long time.

6. I mean, literally every election we hear the same thing

There's actually something to the conservative argument about crying wolf, I have to say. Obama--Romney was not a consequential election. They are very similar in outlook, if slightly different inpolicy. But we had to pretend that Romeny was some evil asshole. It was silly. And now, there actually is a wolf, and we're all like "It's the most consequential election eveeeeer!" You can't blame people for rolling their eyes.

9. I've never had the vibe,,,,Not with Nixon, Reagan, Bush, and Bush W,

Never had a President that has been compromised by a threat such as Russia with nukes who seems to be ready to use them.

7. Every election since 2016...

Though I felt that way in 2000 and 2004 too.

8. Getting a vibe?

u mean after those massive sirens have been blaring in our ears for, like an eternity now it seems?

(Oh, wait. You were being sarcastic. Haha. Good one.)

10. Democracy vs. autocracy?

I don't recall a previous election in which one of the parties was plotting a return to autocracy. After all, wasn't this country founded on the idea of getting rid of autocracy/kings?
