My prediction is Harris, but not by much obviously. I don't exactly have my finger on the pulse, but I hope that as a certain portion of Trump supporters have doubled down on Trump, some have come to their senses as they've learned more and more of how dangerous this man really is and made the "compromise" to vote Democrat this time. Then again, it seems Trump's supporters believe almost anything that comes out of his mouth. 70% of Trump supporters believe inflation is at its highest rate ever, 43% believe it is legal to kill a baby after birth in some states. Simply unbelievable numbers. With this in mind, I actually probably shouldn't place too much trust in many of his voters having turned on him, but I simply can not believe that a critical amount of people would willingly vote for him. It's just so immensely mind-boggling. I mean his supporters must know most of the stuff he spouts is simply made-up, and they only vote for him because they think they're going to benefit from his presidency, right? If a movie portrayed this amount of people believing the claim you'd consider the number unrealistically high.
If Trump loses, he is certainly going to whip his forces into a frenzy and have them do something crazy, but what, I can't even begin to guess. I think something similar to January sixth is certainly possible.
If Trump wins.. What I've read about JD Vance and the company he keeps, you'd think it's gonna be Handmaid's Tale in the US very soon, but I think a four-year-long farce is more probable. I don't know how well Putin actually has Trump in his pocket, but I'd think Ukraine would be getting a lot less help from the US, and I wouldn't rule out Trump pressuring European countries to halt their aid to Ukraine either. Musk would probably play some sort of a role in his presidency, somehow making an even bigger ass of himself than he has until now. I'd expect lots of medium-sized protests, but nowhere close to anything that could threaten Trump's presidency. If there's something positive about him possibly winning for me, it's that the fears of USA's role in NATO diminishing will hopefully force more European countries to up their defense spending and wake up from their decades-long dream of a peaceful world.
I'm hoping for Harris's win, but I don't understand why her campaign seems to choose such middle-class-alienating shows for her rallies. I'm watching her rally in Milwaukee, and it's been something like one and a half hours of rap with Cardi B now finally delivering something resembling a speech. The problem is I can't understand half of the things she's saying. I can imagine how off-putting a show like this is to someone who's not fond of modern "hip-hop" at all, especially if it's an ex-Trump supporter. Hasn't Harris already pretty much secured "the black vote" without any of this?
