Donald! Trump!

I think we all know that Trump has run the best campaign ever run by anyone and will also have the most votes ever for a presidential candidate.

In his opinion anyway, if the actual facts line up with that we’ll see.

That’ll be the message that Musk will be pumping out via his propaganda channel. It’s very concerning how much he’s influenced things in this election – algorithms to boost his posts, hide or delete critical accounts, disinformation campaigns against Harris, bot farms to post pro-Trump messages…

All it’ll need to create another Jan 6th is a few posts saying that the election was stolen from them and there’ll be riots.

Trump essentially got away with that last time. Dangerous times.

That is 100% the game plan, rural counties tend to be easier and quicker to count so they tend to declare first which means at some point early it’s very likely that Trump will look like he’s ahead in the swing states regardless of what the final result is.

This happened in 2020.

Trump’s game plan is 100% going to be to declare victory at that point, have his message amplified by Musk and his media outriders and then call everything that comes afterwards as fraud.

Will America’s democratic institutions hold? Guess we will know soon enough.

He should have advised her to set up a fake cyber security company so he could award her government grants, would that have been better?

Post of the week so far…

Worrying times

Especially so if you’re Ukrainian. Trump will immediately state that Ukraine is a European problem and pass the financial burden onto the EU/UK etc.

Remember who got Trump to where he is now.

so they tend to declare first

You also have to remember the quite frankly batshit mental American process for ‘declaring states’. There is no official standing up and saying what the official count is. There will be an official pronouncement from each state but not for weeks. It’s just left to the news networks to race to ‘call’ each state before the other news networks. And if course, news networks are completely above political pressure and manipulation……

Their whole system is quite frankly barking.

Will America’s democratic institutions hold?

And what does the rest of the world do if they don’t, and a Trump appointed Supreme Court gives him the presidency on some made up technicality?

First results are in.. Dixville Notch in NH voted and all 6 (yes Six) votes have been counted, the result is

3-3.

Let the law suits begin!
