It's looking more likely to me that Trump wins and then pardons himself from prison. Which great for the lulz and the memes but gonna be a shit show for the yanks.

I don't think the yanks are ready to really start killing each other over this yet. Though the camps are slowly circling the wagons. Give the current climate another generation or two to simmer and you'll get another civil war just like the last one. Some issue divides the US into two clear camps, and one doesn't accept how the presidential election plays out.

I saw people posting crap on Facebook like "never before has a US election been contested" bitch please what the fuck do you think happened when Lincoln won?

Besides your recent memory hole of, Trump's win in 2016 with the "not my president movement" trying to claim he cheated, or the electoral college should be post ex facto abolished and the election results changed.

Or perhaps you don't remember Obama's birth certificate and the people saying he wasn't qualified.

Or perhaps we should go back to 2001 where the election results were decided by the supreme court months after the election.

People have been trying to get the other guy disqualified for years. And each time it gets worse worse and the rhetoric gets more and more pointed. Long term trend , go watch old political attack adds, politics has never been clean and I'm not going to complain about a good verbal thrashing between candidates, but you can see the influence of the media on the tone and narrative of how elections are framed. Old television commercials were pretty simple, we've had years to perfect the art of propagandizing via television now. Social media is now in it's period of perfecting the propoganda game.

But just like death and taxes, if the other guy wins well all die also reigns as a universal truth.
