That’s all nice and dandy, but do the people who vote for him get to make some extra money for themselves or do they just get cheaper eggs?

No, cheaper eggs is what Harris wants! That is extreme Marxism!

More expensive eggs (and nearly every good or service) is what they’ll get, through massive tariffs on everything, and they’ll kiss his feet for it! That’s the pure free market capitalist way!
 
Interesting stats.

Early voting is up and registered dems are 10 points up on registered Republicans. However in 2020 they finished 44 to 30 so 14 up.

American people have an admirable faith in democracy and all kinds of good quality.
If you look from my position, if you are a Chinese you can find some obvious "bug" which means your country may not be as democracy as you thought it to be.
But it's hard to make anyone who are proud of the democracy to believe it, because all these things can be called conspiracy. "Deep state" is a conspiracy concept no matter how many times Elon Musk or Jeffrey Sachs talks about it. No proof.
I think Trump will be in control. He knows the consequences.
I don't know. I'd prefer to give people here some information. And I never insist that my post about America must be correct. I am just honestly telling people our thoughts and feelings. I don't insist that these are all right, because we are not Americans.
Don't take it too serious.

You’re giving your thoughts, not those of all Chinese and certainly not those of Chinese expats that are very much against your authoritarian dictatorship and I know a great many as there’s a thriving Chinese community where I live. But I understand why you tow the party line, wouldn’t want to ruin your social credit.

Is this an expat community you are talking about or an immigrant community? We have both in large numbers where I live and opinions, at least those expressed, differ enormously for obvious reasons.

Less interestingly, it's "toeing the line". In my opinion.

Sigh. It’s in the Constitution. It’s crystal clear. Would require an amendment passed by two-thirds of State legislatures after a joint resolution of Congress passed by two-thirds of both the House and Senate.

Not happening.

Nice you’ve got such faith in your manifestly robust institutions.

The facts are that your institutions are breaking down. So any expressions of certainty about how they will operate in the future aren’t built on solid ground.

What in the Constitution has “broken down”? And be specific. Institutions exist separately from the Constitution.

I’m also not sure why you’re arguing either, other than you made a flippant comment, I told you the facts, and now you want to defend the silliness of what you originally said.

Alternatively, get the Maga justices in SCOTUS to make something up along the lines of “the 14th Amendment doesn’t count.”
