I pray he looses by many thousand votes

Not only did Trump lose in 2020, he lost in 2016. Only the last vestige of human enslavement put him in office. Not his ‘popularity’, certainly not his ‘policies’, but the electoral college. He lost by millions of votes, both times.

Trump will lose BIGLY (again) and be the LEAST popular nominee ever. He will lose the popular vote by 10-12 million votes at least this November.

Let's give Harris/Walz 100 million votes! We can do it! 💪

Let's wear these kinds of shirts in front of our MAGA/Karen neighbor! 👇 🤣

Damn, I don't see your prior comment. I assume something terrible happens. I put a little 3 x 3 sticker in my car window, and I do have fear. But decided we can't be intimidated if we want to make ourselves heard.

In a nearby neighborhood that I drive through sometimes, there is a parked van with a MAGA sticker on the back window (about 4x4"). It was once tightly stuck to the window, but every time I pass, bits of it have been peeled off, little by little. Someone is doing good work out there.

Speaks poorly about who we are, unless it's being done by the owner. We're supposed to be the tolerant ones. MAGA as a word has become offensive and fearsome, so I do understand. But MAGA has also caused division, and foments hatred. We've lost if we stoop to their level.

It will have to be. The electoral college put him in last time. Then if you remember Bush v. Gore in a close election, the supreme Court put Bush in.

He has said since 2016 that the elections are rigged because he knows his team has rigged them. I still believe something was screwed up the 2016 results in Pennsylvania.

The swing state’s turnouts for Biden / Harris in 2020 saved the electoral college results to prevent a trump rerun. trump couldn’t believe that his rigging couldn’t overcome the revulsion the majority of the country has for him.

And the preparation for rigging this year has been in place since 2021.

Remember, trump is running to stay out of prison.

Daniel Appleton, I like what you said about Christians. I am a Christian and I don't vote Republican. Most Republicans are nothing but liars and hypocrites. God doesn't hate the poor, he loves them. Republicans hide behind the churches and uses their people to promote their dirty agendas. Most Christians have become brain washed idiots! I have an aunt who is one of those. She was never a Republican voter till she became a Protestant Christian. Her and I go round and round all the time. Most all of those Republican voters have used the welfare system for food stamps, AFDC for their children, Medicaid and Medicare and Social Security Disability etc. etc. We got ours and none of you others can have yours. And they lap up DT as if he is some kind of a God or something. I tell Christians off. And I go to church on Sundays and I let them know that I care about my country first. Not some stinking Republican lying candidate. They are all liars. At least President Joe Biden goes to church on Sunday even though the Roman Church has excommunicated him. I like Joe Biden and I voted for him.

The same thing happened in Hitler's Germany. What's important to remember is, in the end, Hitler killed everyone - including his supporters and immediate families. Once some one becomes useless, people like Grump, Hitler, or Putin always kill them. Part of it is that these people have knowledge that could be used to bring the dictator down. But, a big part of it is that they just enjoy doing it.

The easiest way to stop Trump is by not handing him the power to let him do it in the first place.

That's why the vote is so important this time. Everybody is voting for their life.

Which is, of course, why we say it's the most important election of our life. He says it now, too, but has no idea of the irony in his use of the phrase.

Expand full comment

Yeah, but he is doing it knowingly. He hopes the people hearing it are not aware of the history. Trump is not an idiot (although he is) in that somebody has trained him in very sophisticated techniques of human manipulation

It wasn't Cohen. What Trump does is what Soviet era agents did. And, why would anyone try to model what Hitler did - Hitler failed badly in trying to take over the world. You would think Trump would pick to learn from somebody else, like the Heritage foundation. It's almost like someone gave Trump German textbooks to study from. Why on earth those?

Expand full comment

He went to a private military academy near West Point. Likely the only classes that interested him was the history of wars and instead of understanding that Hitler and Mussolini and Hannibal and Nero were bad, he got excited by the dictators. His family was German and dysfunctional so his father Fred admired the KKK and the American Bund during the war, and liked Hitler.

All real Americans must stand up and demonstrate their vengeance against this three headed snake on Nov. 5th by defeating him with an overwhelming number of votes in favor of Kamala Harris.

Seniors and others that depend on social security damn well better vote for Harris/Walz. Trump will start by slashing costs within the administration and work his way up to cutting SS completely. No more cost of living bumps, that's for sure. So when you say "most of us are not prepared", how does one prepare for loss of income they've worked for all their adult lives? For many, social security is all they have!

And health care? As a New Yorker might day, "forget about it"! Trump will destroy ObamaCare and we KNOW he doesn't give a shit about whether the average American has access to good health care whether they are children or adults. Medicare and Medicaid will be ravaged, too.

If Trump slithers back into office, I see nothing but grey ahead fading into black. Total darkness. A loss of our way of life that's been great, good, okay and sometimes rough or bad, but still we're free to say what's on our minds and move through society without fear. This will be gone -- for EVERYONE -- unless you're a devoted MAGA cultist worshipping Dear Leader.

If you know anyone who is still on the fence, talk to them about our most important federal programs and other protections that benefit all citizens. Remind them that Trump, because of his wealthy background, has never had to worry about any issues that MOST Americans contend with every day.

And finally, if Trump gets back into the oval office, WE won't have to wring our hands over immigration any longer, but other countries, like poor Canada, will see Americans begin to rush THEIR borders. VOTE 💙 up and down the ballot!

I hope Canada will take us in. But with little money it will be hard to live. I have been thinking of this and do not have a good answer. Go to polls and vote blue , blue. and blue--- Vote blue for Senators . We got to have those too.

We don't mind. but, Grumps plan is to invade other countries militarily - including Canada. At the same time, Putin will invade Europe. The two are acting in concert, and the plan originated with Putin, who is still driving it. Trump figures after invading countries, he can take Putin on. But, this is a delusion of all dictators - that if they do things right, they can control large numbers of people, even if there are more of us than them

I find that hard to believe America doesn’t need to invade us; they branch planted our economy 50 years ago and already are our largest trading partner; what possible advantage would that give they don’t have already. Putin I d believe anything about!

Trump said he would do that in a speech at his California golf course. he said he would expand the footprint of the USA geographically. It's not just Canada he has in mind. he was referring to a longatudal expension north and south, including Mexico and south america.

here's a YouTube video of that speech, not sure if it's complete, it was a passing remark he made about geographic expansion of America under his administration if he gets elected again

And, look at it this way. What's the only thing that can stop Trump from doing something like that? It's NATO.

If you were a self made billionaire, wouldn't you want NATO to be around just to protect your money (and buildings in Trumps case)?

Do you think he owns his properties? I don't. I think he owes a great deal of money to Russia and others.
