(512 posts)a blowout no one was expecting, with Kamala well over 300 EVs, Ds taking the House and Holding the Senate, Trump/Cruz/Scott defeated and deflated, and little to no violence due to the sheer size of the victory.

(11,416 posts)There's been a significant change in the wind. I've thought from the start that Kamala would pull this off with the clean hand-off from President Biden, the hugely successful Convention, the KO at the debate.
But now? I'm thinking BIG.

(512 posts)The big thing thats changing is the Rs coming out of the woodwork to publicly support Kamala and other D candidates. More every day:!
And while most rank-and-file Rs who support us wont tell pollsters that they are doing so, some honest polls are beginning to show this. That small but steady R wave towards us is going to add to our Blue Wave to create a tsunami thats coming for the worst MAGA cowardsTrump, Scott, Cruz, Fischer and more!

(15,642 posts)Might be a bit "gun shy". So many of their compatriots from J6 are currently rotting in prison. He has called for mass protests ("if they indict me..." and 4 or 5 people showed up. Not saying there won't be some trouble, but I'm not expecting another attempted coup.

(30,345 posts)Then after the election, when things settle down,
you can move them forward.
This is just a precaution, just in case.
From what I understand, the markets could get
volatile or something.

(56,279 posts)The Dow remains comfortably above 42000, and the Euro remains comfortably below $1.10.
That could change for the worse in an eyeblink, of course, but there doesnt appear to be a lot of angst over it for now.

Trump knows there's no patience for 2020 traitorous nonsense this time around... and if Harris loses, I certainly don't expect shenanigans.

Not a chance.

(5,599 posts)I see stuff on social media from right wingers who are just absolutely blind to reality, and who claim that they are the ones being forced to accept things they don't agree with. And you have some of these extremists like Lance Wallnau who think they are "God's army" and instruments of his destruction. It's already happening. I hope our military, governors and the President are already on top of it.
