If Trump gets re-elected?

OnWis97 said:I'm already at the point of acceptance. He's either going to get re-elected or he's going to be installed by SCOTUS and Barr.I looked into leaving the country four years ago and at my age and with my relative lack of special skills, it ain't happening. So I'm going to prepare my answer to the door-to-door Trump Loyalty tests...I'm only being kind of hyperbolic.Generally speaking, I'm just going to live my life and try to do some little things like give to causes, etc. I feel pretty helpless and powerless. I'm lucky to be upper-middle-class (the Trump Dynasty makes that potentially shaky but not in the immediate). I haven't really decided how I'm going to spend money or time in response. I need to take care of myself, which includes working a lot, working out, and relaxing. But I'll try to expand my reach a bit, be it on local issues or whatever.I'm also probably going to stop saying anything in social media. If I'm going to die in prison* for being disloyal to the First Family, I'm going to have it mean something; not just because I'm snarky.*Right now that's hyperbole. I'm not convinced it always will be.
The House actually has more constitutional power deciding Presidential elections than SCOTUS. Trump thinks that helps him because more states are republican (that’s how the House votes) and Trump has 26 votes the way the house is right now, the minimum votes needed to win.
But the House powers are more vast. The House also counts electoral votes. Say it comes down to one state, PA. If SCOTUS gives a Republican list of electors to be counted while the state governor gives a democratic list (the law says state governors and secretaries certify election results). Pelosi would have competing lists of electors and controls the process. She can literally kick Pence out of the process if she wants. She could throw out that states electoral votes. Then the House votes. 26 republican votes, trump wins.Not so fast. If any PA house races are close, the House decides if that congressman gets to sit or whether there is a formal review which could take a long time. Those 26 votes are now 25, and if the House stays deadlocked for 2 weeks, Pelosi could become President, or leverage that power to have a split ticket win.This power has already been ruled as constitutional by SCOTUS.0 -

I’m not going to move out of the country or anything haste like that, lolGood for you.Isn't there a lot more of hate and fear, lies and trouble in your county lately? A lack of dignity in the White House? I heard of a lot of bad things happening since you got a new president. I can't imagine that wouldn't affect you.Well, maybe you could not just see it from your own perspective, but try to look at it through the eyes of a collective ... I'm sure the majority of Americans (especially poor and unemployed people, without health care, etc) have another Answer.
This is a social problem. Lack of solidarity.0 -
Unfortunately, all this shit isnt going anywhere no matter who wins. Maybe the Democrats can hold power long enough to put some protections in place for separation of power, election protection reform, etc.... but overall we are pretty fuct I think.
All these snowflake pussies need to play the victim card. They are kind of disjointed when their people are in power and all they can do is cry about the "media". They are going to be huge victims under a Biden administration. Now they have been gifted the superpower of just making shit up and mainstreaming conspiracy theories.
We are seeing the beginning of it, but we have a very major threat of domestic terrorism from right wing wackos who are armed to the teeth.0 -

if he wins (he won't) and the senate and house go blue (they may) then he'll be impeached and removed. next up at bat: Pence.

I think removal needs to be a 2/3 vote.

If Trump wins, I buy a new boat. If Biden wins, I keep my old boat. And I will still surf and try to see PJ as much as I can.0

And, this Idiot has said the USA is leaving the WHO by July of next year, so if he is re-elected, we may NEVER get back to Normal as the Virus will continue.
Like you said pjhawks: World could be doomed.0 -
I think we will just see 4 more years of corruption, lying, boo hoos, no Covid help (who cares once he can’t be re-elected, right?) and lots and lots of golf. I will have to stay off social media, which is probably healthier...ten minutes on twitter/fb will make your head explode. 2020 has been the year of misinformation, even Google is changing their algos to combat it (and protect themselves). Really just want the chaos to be over.in an underwater nation...near chinamans hat0

and even if he wins, and if the senate is flipped, he'll be hogtied and basically won't be able to do much. i know what you're saying, but there's too many variable to just declare the world ending just because of one event.Hugh Freaking Dillon is currently out of the office, returning sometime in the fall0 -

Hope to see you again here.
