Trump Derangement Syndrome - Orange man bad. Read the OP! (ᴛʜɪs ᴛʜʀᴇᴀᴅ ɪs ʟɪᴋᴇ ᴋɪᴡɪ ғᴀʀᴍs ʀᴇᴠɪᴇᴡs ɴᴏᴡ) 🗿🗿🗿🗿

An old White woman influenced my decision for the 2020 presidential election.

I can't believe the election is less than a week away. It's like a ticking time bomb you cannot avoid.
A ticking timebomb that cannot be disarmed. No matter who wins, the result will be violent and messy.

That's what worries me. The issue is who and what the blast will affect. You think 2016 was bad, 2020 will be something else.

It will be a sight to behold.

Honestly, the Democrats hurt their chances against a businessman in almost every inconceivable way.

Impeachment, infighting, terrible candidates, classism, and now the riots.

Trump and the Republican fanbase didn't have to do anything, the other side was slowly but surely getting more and more aggressive and combative.

Although, the old guard made it obvious that some old habits of yesteryear would come back.
 
I’m just going to leave this here

It's almost a little hard to believe that we're here, already. This has somehow been the longest and the shortest four years I've ever dealt with. It's been a weird fucking ride, though. I started this whole thing off as some dipshit Bernie bro who thought the media was a little skeevy, really didn't care much for FOX, really didn't believe with any capacity that Trump could win the election, but generally just... Kind of an unpolitical person, for the most part.

Fast forward about four years and all of my friends went crazy, my faith in every single media outlet is so low that I'd legitimately call it irreversible, I've somehow gone from borderline apolitical with a Democrat leaning into a person that's turned politics into a hobby, and I'm just sitting here waving an American flag and wearing a MAGA hat going, "What the fuck happened?"

The polls are still begging me to be scared, Nate's still screaming about whatever bullshit he's divinated from his bald spot, Joe Biden's still pretending that he's actually campaigning through an ocean of honking cars, and I'm still not worried. The fact that the polls are already starting to violently switch places again just like 2016 is pretty hilarious, but I'm just twiddling my thumbs and watching the calendar waiting for voting day, and it's kind of astounding that we're already here.
Right there with you. Never really cared much about politics past a few minor pet issues (guns), and my politics were largely my father's. In '16 I voted third party as a protest vote, knowing that it didn't matter one way or the other because of how blue my state is. I remember watching the election results come in over dinner, eager to see what flavor of fucked we were. Turns out it was nacho cheese flavored, which, in hindsight, isn't such a bad fuck after all.

Not that I really thought that for the first ~3 years of the term. I knew that 90% of what I heard about him was hyperbolic at best, but I never quite grasped just how much the deck was stacked against him and how much he got done anyway. I think it was sometime late last year when I was lurking the Farms looking for someone new to laugh at and thought, "Politics really annoys me, but 'Trump Derangement Syndrome?' Yeah, Trump is pretty deranged, I'll check it out." I honestly clicked into this thread the first time expecting, maybe even wanting, to get swung to the left only to have Facts and Logic make me question every narrative I'd heard for the last four years. I wrote it off as trolls and fake news at first, but the more I read, watched, and verified for myself, the more firmly I believed that not only was Donald Trump the best choice we could have made in 2016, but he may have been the best choice we made in my lifetime.

I'm looking forward to Tuesday. I'll be voting in person over my lunch break. My vote for president will amount to nothing because of how blue my state is, but with any luck I'll be able to help change some things locally. I think there are enough other pissed off people in my area to flip some seats that have been blue for as far back as I can remember. I don't really drink though, so instead of margaritas, I might use the incoming salt flow to make pretzels.
 
Here is some TDS from Joe Vargas

Can somebody explain to me the nine day period between the election day and then?

Frankly, my opinions of Trump mainly stay the same. If he's so confident, why not just let the process go as planned?

What 9 day period? Do you mean for mail in ballots to be received, or counts released? Because those rules vary by state..

Voted early at my county courthouse. Looks like a great many people also did the same. Voting in person, I mean.

Usually, mail-in ballots don't make that much difference in a presidential election. But we're living in the time of covid. Anything can happen and probably will.

Trump was responding to this ruling about North Carolina allowing ballots to come in nine days after election day:
