this right here, I know in my damn bones that this’ll be the map, prepare to find humor in it
I think Biden is gonna win big and Trump is going to die after the election. Everyone expects hellword to be the worst or funniest, but I believe it will continue to be the weirdest.
I sincerely hope in my heart of hearts that Trump dies before the election because everywhere would be The Cool Zone for at least a month and political chaos is the only thing that makes me feel alive.
If Biden died too that would also be very cool.
Both candidates and both VPs are nightmare scenarios. Whatever the result is I hope I make it out of this alive.
This. Whoever wins, is the path of accelerationism (not really towards communism, mind you). No matter what, the empire is in irreversible decline, and conditions are going to continue to worsen.
I agree. What I am most afraid of is that the bourgeoisie has grown a class consciousness of its own, and understands its position as an aristocracy in decline. A class-conscious bourgeoisie is capable of acting collectively and forming a plan by which they might consolidate a type of state that enforces capitalist relations at gunpoint in perpetuity. Nazi Germany is the crystallization of such a condition.
Biden/Harris absolutely will accelerate us towards a fascist dictatorship. I see both of them laying the groundwork for our future fascist dictatorship. Both have a history of authoritarian policies and even before the George Floyd riots, Biden’s team made it clear they were running on a Law and Order campaign.
I 100% expect them to reach across the aisle to the GOP and introduce some fucked up law in an act of bipartisanship to try and make protesting illegal, or filming of police officers illegal. It will be something aimed at the protests and meant to squash them by mass arrests and high incarceration. It will follow in line with the PATRIOT Act and NDAA (which was written by Obama).
Right now, liberalism is being overthrown and it’s a question of what it will be replaced with. By liberalism, I mean the job of negotiating between the ruling class and the exploited (what liberalism’s job is supposed to be).The GOP has already proven they are more than happy to replace it with fascism. Democrats right now are confused and don’t know what to do. They lean towards fascism cause they see nothing else. All they have to offer anymore, and have offered for the past decade is empty platitudes and identity politics. We’re reaching the point where neither of that works anymore.
Give Biden WI and AZ. Give Trump PA. Now you have a 269-269 tie, to be decided by the state delegations in the house. Republicans currently control more states. That’s max pain.
that’d be max pain but trump won’t win PA without winning WI too, I’m trying to find the intersection of likelihood and pain
Yeah your map looks more likely, but this is the worst timeline so I’m not ruling out a tie
Why the fuck is there even the possibility of a tie lol, as if there isn’t an odd number of delegates
This is a reminder that the Lathe of Heaven is not a toy guys
Trump somehow survives covid. Biden wins by a large margin. Trump publicly rejects the election result but doesn’t do anything to actually stop the transfer of power. Trump plays the part of ousted resistance leader from the comfort of his new show on Fox. Right-wing violence accelerates, but president Harris ignores it and cracks down on left-wing protesters.
Lathe of Heaven
Of course it’s not a toy. Sure, you can make pens on it but if you don’t tie your hair back and secure any loose clothing or jewelry you’re liable to be sucked in to the thing and transformed in to a hideous cosmic adversary of all life.
If Trump even survives this month.
