Trump is going to lose. PERIOD! [View all]

[Mortos]

I have studied the polls for months. I have read the prognostications of experts and amateurs alike. I religiously read serious mainstream publications and have seen the race for president swing wildly back and forth between three candidates. As the election that seemed like it would drag on for eternity rapidly sprints towards election day (finally), I am curiously calm and confident that Kamala Harris and Tim Walz will, not only win this election but decidedly so. Here are a few reasons why:

1. Simply put, Harris is the far superior candidate. In 100 days, she has been able to raise over a billion dollars, close the gap Trump enjoyed over Biden, and confidently and competently turn a failing Democratic presidential campaign into an incredibly successful one rife with endorsements from a wide spectrum of people who have never supported a Democrat in their lives. Kamala Harris has run a nearly flawless campaign. The false sexist derogatory image with which Trump and his vile cohorts and collaborators have tried to stick on Harris as a "mentally challenged," "dumb," "weak," and "shit Vice President" have fallen flat as she has bested him and his moronic campaign at every turn. Even the right-wing rag, The National Review, published an opinion piece by ultra-conservative writer, Jim Geraghty titled, "The Chronically Underestimated Kamala Harris".

2. Abortion! We have seen and felt the destruction Trump engendered by putting three right-wing nuts on the Supreme Court. Over half of the states have placed cruel restrictions on women's right to choose. Every time abortion has been on any ballot in any state, including conservative republican majority ones, voters (primarily women of all political affiliations) have turned out in record numbers in support. I have heard the arguments that abortion is not a top concern of voters but I think that is a sexist viewpoint. It is a top issue among women and they have seen the fatal consequences of giving the government power over women's life and death decisions.

3. Trump is a buffoon and is rapidly deteriorating both mentally and physically. His antics, while entertaining to his cultish supporters, are repellent to the undecided and swing voters he desperately needs to win. People look at Trump's ability to draw crowds as some sort of political superpower. It is not. In any red state, you can fill up a venue with thousands of screaming fanatics who will dress up in branded clothing and hats to cheer on fake wrestling, car races, monster trucks, state fairs, and any one-hit wonder to half-heartedly belt out a favorite song. Rodney Carrington, a comedy country singer, has made millions by touring the country and singing hits like "Titties and Beer" and "Don't Look Now (Your Mama's Got Her Boobs Out)" to throngs of adoring fans. They show up for the spectacle. Filling up a casino theater does not equate to national popularity or support.

4. Trump Burnout Syndrome - Trump's schtick has become stale. He has to reach further into the sewer to get attention. His weirdness has become impossible to hide. I live in Oklahoma, one of the reddest states in the country. I can count on both hands the number of Trump signs I have seen this election cycle. Hell, I went to Walmart last weekend and only saw two Trump hats...TWO! The overt and in-your-face support for Trump has receded like Stephen Miller's hairline. If he can't whip Okies into a frenzied show of support, his campaign is doomed. Trump is a one-trick pony and everyone has seen every variation of that one trick. The Trump pony is increasingly lame (figuratively and literally) and it's time to put that swayback, ill-tempered, ratty-mained, manure factory out to pasture.

I believe Kamala will win over 300 electoral college votes and 6 million more popular votes than Trump. Her victory will be so obvious and overwhelming, that it will be called on election night as it rapidly becomes clear that a majority of voters will choose competence over chaos and a quiet majority will finally put an end to Trump and his sleazy, fascist, political grab for unchecked power.

I can't wait to see all the upside-down American, Gadsen, and Appeal to Heaven flags hoisted by Trump's dejected and delusional followers (and a Supreme Court Justice's wife) on November 6th. If he foments another insurrection, the results will be much different this time. Trump's resurrectionists will not make out as well as they did on January 6th as law enforcement and the military will be prepared and authorized to put their treasonous acts down quickly and decisively. A prison cell will await the lucky ones, and there will be plenty of GoFundMe-financed funerals for the less tactical members of the Gravy Seals and Ya'll-Queda .

Harris has got this. I am confident she will win. But she needs us to keep fighting every day like Trump is ahead. Donate! Support Harris publicly and proudly! And don't forget to VOTE!

I will be here with you on November 5th, ready to celebrate and give a big old F YOU to Donald Trump and a Hip Hop Hurray for our first female president, Kamala Harris!

When we fight, we win!
