That's being rather generous...

I’m just hoping this comment ages like milk as his convictions pile up with his other trials.

If Trump loses, that dissolves the Trump cult and the next Trump that comes along will just be compared to Trump

Trump is not the problem. Trump is the symptom. The problem is a somewhat powerful minority faction in the US actively pushing to dismantle our democracy. Project 2025 wasn't written by Trump and didn't write itself.

Harris' win is step 1. We then need to push to shore up our democracy and prevent a more cunning trump replacement.

If Trump wins, the world will become a way less hospitable place even faster. This is literally the fight for the last resources, and the 1% wants it all. Trump is a Billionaire enabler... nothing else.

I second this emotion

I'm really hoping that it isn't close and that the polls were lying "just to make it interesting"

America is a fascist nation dripping in right wing propaganda.

If we elect Trump a second time, the only people who can express shock are the ones who have never seen a neighbor wave a Confederate flag, brandish a Blue Lives Punisher logo, have FOX News blasting away in the living room, or demand you laugh at their joke full of ethnic slurs.

Maybe don't turn important political processes into a sports match. Try a little logos with your ethos.

We will never have election reform that represents the will of the people, because the capitalist class, which has run this country since its inception through bourgeois revolution, will never allow “tyranny of the majority” reforms. They would sooner unleash fascism upon us than allow real democracy.

But currently you aren't and the options are damage control or burning the house down...

• A French person that was in a similar position a few monthes ago.

I think the first, most realistic progress we can make is to get a few more states to sign the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact. It's a agreement between state legislature to assign their electors based on the national popular vote, and it automatically goes into effect once enough states have signed on to guarantee 270 electoral votes.

It bypasses the need to pass a constitutional ammendment that is functionally impossible to get through.

And it's within grasp. Enough states have already signed on for 209 of the 270 threshold (Maine just signed it into law in April), with several states pending for another 50 (e.g. Nevada is waiting on governor'ssignature).

We're shockingly close to killing the electoral college, and nobody seems to know about it.

A slotted coffee spoon. As much unique as it is useless.

Adam Conover's last video changed my view on the shock. They're not voting for him despite his bad qualities. They're voting for him because of his bad qualities. Telling them he's a Nazi and a felon and blah blah blah will reinforce their idea that he's the right guy. When people who worked in his government come out against him, the response is, "Of course they did. They're part of the swamp we're trying to drain."

Reason is dead. We're never going to convince these people that Trump is unfit for the job and a horrible human being. It's time to stop being so shocked these people exist. They always have and will continue to exist. All we can do is show up and end the man's political career.
