Calling it a state of emergency is more than a bit melodramatic, but I get the idea, a lot of you guys are freaking out way more than is warranted.
Right now, it looks like Biden has good odds to win a narrow victory, in an election where he was running against an incredibly unpopular candidate (and where, for once, a large portion of that media-generated negativity was entirely warranted), and he basically ran by avoiding taking any firm stances on any issues and letting Trump sabotage himself.
This isn't an outcome most of us wanted, but it's not the end of the world. Biden is the best the DNC could scrape together and is an objectively awful candidate, with a sycophantic media in his corner doing everything they could to hammer Trump and avoid asking Biden any tough questions....and at best he's going to pull of a narrow win against an awful candidate with a track record of mixed success and who mishandled the pandemic at several points (yes, Biden also probably would have mishandled it, albeit for different reasons, and yes the worst bits are not Trump's fault, but the President always takes the heat for failures like this, Life isn't fair).
This wasn't supposed to happen, this was supposed to be a blowout win for Biden and a through renunciation of Trump by the electorate, which is not what we're seeing. This was supposed to be a blue wave that would seize the house and senate and undo 2016 blah blah blah, which it is not. The Republicans have been making gains in the house (but are not likely to flip it), and are looking to hold the senate, and even if they lose the senate it's going to be very, very close. The democrats have no mandate to enact sweeping changes even if they do win (which is not likely), and while that won't stop some of them from trying, not every Senator is Schumer and not every Rep is Pelosi, there are enough moderates that they will have a very hard time doing anything really stupid in the vanishingly unlikely chance they have an opening, which, I reiterate, they will most likely not have.
Trump losing is a setback, but this is hardly the end of the world. The dems will not be in a position to do anything insane, and if they try they've set themselves up to fail and then get pummeled in the mid terms. They've also set themselves up for failure in 2024, Biden and Harris are awful candidates and will be awful leaders, and unlike the democrats the Republicans have a lot of capable leaders rising into prominence that should be able to win next election.
What? there has been dozens of evidence for massive voter fraud.
Twitter posts from randos are, while technically evidence, an extremely weak form of evidence.
In some respects, I half wonder if "the swamp" has done exactly what Trump wanted it to do. Say what you will about him, but he is a clever man that does little without reason and has for four years straight been pursuing a campaign of calculated provocation. If it is electoral fraud that has swung things, then the Democrats have done it on an unprecedented scale. So unprecedented, that they'll struggle to cover it up if it's investigated...which the recently GOP friendly Supreme Court will likely do if Trump asks. And if they find solid evidence...
Has Trump allowed the Dems to cheat and thus provide enough rope to hang themselves with? It would certainly be in character for him.
This seems unlikely. Trump is clever, yes, but he does loads of things without good reason out of pride, spite, etc, and frankly if was this canny of a polical operator he would have used that skillset at some point in the past 4 years to actually pass elements of his agenda.
I mean personally I would encourage everyone here to start divesting themselves psychologically and emotionally from the rotten corpse that is the American empire.
Stop mourning a dead beast, and let it rot in the ground.
We lost one election, narrowly, and in literally any other circumstance would have crushed Biden. This isn't even close to being over, stop being such a doomer.
