        No, only if he loses.

        If he wins, America is done.

          If he wins, America is done.

          Which America? It’s a huge country, only parts would be done , only some groups would be persecuted, and the background death rate would only go up by 2 or 3 times elsewhere due to collapse of services and medicine. People as a whole would get poorer, but many are already poor

          Vast amounts of people will never notice

          Already sorta sold, some records aren’t public because of some agreement with a private companies proprietary code.

      Oh I am very, very much betting on Jan 6th Round 2: Electric Boogaloo.

      I will honestly be fucking amazed if there are not widespread conspiracy insanity and terrorism if Trump loses.

      We’ve already got democratic political offices being shot up in drive bys, fucktons of open attempts at taking over election boards and changing all the rules last minute to intentionally sow chaos, militias saying they are out hunting FEMA responders, mass bomb threats called in based on made up stories about Haitians eating cats…

    It sure does show the state of things.

    Then again I was stuck in a decent amount of traffic today and the sheer amount of people who attempt to “beat the system” of driving in an orderly manner is also insanely high.

    I’d love to think that we’re better than this as a society, but the reality of the situation is that we’re one or two small steps from pure anarchy and it really wouldn’t take all that much to get there from where we are.

        Also relevant: “Always shoot the messenger first.” :)

        If news unsettles a person, and there’s a cognitive dissonance upon processing their world model (“everything OK with climate”) and sensory input (“another big freaking hurricane”) then if the person isn’t a model of rational thought and already has a fad for conspiracies…

        …one might find it easier to add another conspiracy theory to one’s collection, as opposed to harder steps like refreshing one’s model of how the world functions. :o

          I wish food labels came with the full binomial nomenclature including the variety and subspecies.

          Here’s your sandwich:

          • Triticum aestivum L. ssp aestivum
          • Lactuca sativa L. var. crispa
          • Solanum lycopersicum L. var. esculentum
          • Glycine max (L.) Merr.
          • Piper nigrum L.
