Donald Trump

Biden winning by a huge margin might go some way to taking the sting out of any backlash.

At this stage in the game that doesn't look likely that's going to happen though.

A free and fair election would give Biden a huge margin.

Free and fair is the last thing that this election will be.

Many of us (and obviously others off the forum) have been predicting these horrific issues for months/years and have been saying America was sleepwalking in to dictatorship.

Seems only recently more people have begun to wake up to this reality.

Always felt like it was a possibility, of course, esp after 2016, but the more recent use of authoritarian and dictatorial edicts to heighten voter suppression (esp in “certain areas”) is beyond the pale.

The Senates unwillingness to remove him has created a monster who feels ever more emboldened, unconstrained by norms (and even laws) and impervious to threats.

The UK is travelling down the same road and just like the US most of the population are asleep.

Fixed.

A point I’ve made a few times on here, as well.

But, of course, that is really a topic for another thread that I don’t go in to anymore. ;-)
