It’s not even going to close.
I’m now looking forward to seeing Trump, not do, what all the hysterical people with TDS say he was going to do.
It’s a great day for democracy.

The polls were scattered all over the place, which happens when the race is close - and it has been close. As of right now Trump’s sitting on 51.1% - yes, he’s comfortably taken the electoral college but the final tally of EC votes will flatter him.
I’m not going to lie, I’m disappointed in America and the large number of Americans who have been willing to overlook far too much. He’s a convict, a rapist, a con man and a mysoginist. I’m especially disappointed in the great swathes of Evangelical so-called Christians who have been willing to overlook his character in pursuit of one or two policies he is personally only lukewarm about.
I *hope* you’re right, and he spends the next 4 years not doing all the things he threatened to do. I *hope* it was all just a pantomime act to get votes. But at this point I’m not convinced.
And on that point, the Ukraine war isn’t going to end just because Trump said he’d end it. Ukraine, and the whole of Esastern Europe, is about to get a whole lot more dangerous because Putin *believes* he has Trump in his pocket and that will embolden him. Though right now I’m angrier at the Biden admin that has constantly spoken warm words about Ukraine while only ever doing just enough to prevent it from collapsing. |
