Mark my words. Trump will lose in November. [View all]

The country is sick and tired of Trump. Disaffected/pissed Trump voters (there are many) will vote for Joe, as well as an energized "blue wave" of Democrats (think 2018 in spades).

That's the good news.

Now the bad news...

It will slowly dawn (if it hasn't already) on Trump and his sycophants that defeat is coming. This will be entirely unacceptable to them as it kinda puts a damper on the whole Autocracy/Christo Fascist/Right-Wing Authoritarianism thing they have built and is probably their only shot at. Additionally, there is a real good chance Trump is going to prison if the State of New York decides to intervene after Trump is ousted.

Not to be alarmist, but I do not believe Trump will go gently into that good night. Desperation will bring ratf*cking of the highest order. I foresee election tampering of some sort followed by Democratic outrage followed by the now familiar Trump tactic of, "Oh yeah? What are you gonna do about it?" followed by masses in the streets.

Now more good news...

Whether he goes gracefully (doubt it) or not, he will still be removed; one way or another.
