The US Presidential election prediction thread

This is where it gets personal and arguably petty.  It would probably be in the interest of the US for Trump to eventually concede in some way, shape or form however graceless it might be.

I do not want that.  I want a popcorn inducing stand-off with him and his obnoxious family shamed and humiliated and being forced to concede.  We deserve such a spectacle.

Yes, I'm torn here.

Part of me wants Trump's tantrum to escalate.  I'd love to see him simply refuse to accept reality.  It would be magnificent if he needed forcibly removed from the Whitehouse.

However, the potential for unrest, for genuine suffering to be inflicted upon people is surely heightened by that happening, so I know it's not really desirable at all.

How they get the nuclear codes back is what moves this beyond the realm of comedy.

He cannot physically launch missiles by himself thats a fallacy. Submarine based missiles can only be launched within the sub with cross checks and balances, from a plane they have to be physically dropped by the crew and icbm’s in the silos have to be launched by two airforce officers with the same kind of cross checks etc. I think if he suggested anything nuclear based then he’d be removed from office.

Only the first of those applies in this case I'm afraid.
The point is a serious one though.  Even in states that hugely favour Trump, there will be people, millions of them in fact, who utterly reject what he's about.  Some will belong to groups absolutely marginalised and threatened by his behaviour; some will be activists, devoted to causes which oppose his; while all will be absolutely horrified by his current antics.
It's a dangerous game to dismiss people based on where they're from.  Just ask a Mexican rapist.
Being regarded as "Tory" due to my location, I do get what you're saying. But I won't lie, I'd still rather avoid places with massive swings towards Trump and what he stands for when I visit America. There will be decent people in every part of the country but it's that batshit crazy a place that I'd still feel more comfortable playing the odds and staying in places where the vast majority of people didn't vote for a raving mad lunatic.

Can one of the networks hurry up and call this so I can get my Biden payout? We all know Biden's won and I'd prefer Trump was removed before things start to escalate. 

Lazy fuckers are still munching their disgusting breakfast donuts in Philadelphia.

He might be upset but my friend Harvey the giant invisible rabbit is absolutely delighted so I guess that makes things even.

Thing is though that there will be a lot of Fox viewers who genuinely believe God is upset when watching that. Widespread belief in Israel's supposed future role in events described in Revelations and in the rapture that is supposed to happen for believers has guided US foreign policy in the Middle East because of that. Irrational belief systems can and do influence politics and world events.

Political trolling of thick white people rarely gets funnier than this.

Thousands of Donald Trump supporters have unwittingly found themselves in a Facebook group called “Gay Communists for Socialism”, after being tricked by its creators into joining what they thought was a pro-Trump election group.

I think it's rather a daft way of looking at it.

There will be parts of the major coastal cities that you wouldn't dream of staying, but your criterion would render them ideal.
