The bottom line is that if the polls are right, then Biden is going to win a smashing victory on 11/3. Nearly landslide proportions. Could this really be happening? Yep: if people are fearful of 'Rona and buy into the "the disorder is all Trump", then Biden is going to win. Big.
And nearly every poll and almost all pundits are asserting just that: people fear the 'Rona and blame Trump for the national heart attack. If the polls and they are right: we're done. Not a chance. But, are they right?
Are, that is, people who lie all the time telling the truth?
The question nearly answers itself, but not quite: there is a chance that the liars found something true which actually works in their favor. It does happen. But, they are liars: if things were 180 from what they're saying, they would still bare face it out.
Voter registration trends; crowd size; spontaneous pro-Trump demonstrations...these kinda indicate that perhaps not as many people are motivated by hate/fear as the polls and Experts assert. But we won't know until 11/3.
Meanwhile: don't get depressed. Chin up!
Following along with what a pack of liars wants you to follow is just plain and simple dumb. You're harming yourself by doing so. Ignore it. Vote Trump. Go volunteer for the campaign. What will be, will be: but be the happy warrior. You'll feel better.

For those saying Israel isn't our concern: it is. You're wrong to stand aside. This isn't just another round of the conflict. It is quite different. You have a moral obligation here as a human being.
I'll explain.
Had Hamas limited its attacks to the IDF - and they do seem to have caught the IDF with its pants down - then no matter how many soldiers they killed, it would have been completely legitimate. War. Even any civilians killed incidentally in such attacks would have been ok.
Israel still would have responded and I would be ok with them responding to such an attack. It is what you do in war. Attack. Counter-attack. So on. But this wasn't an attack on the IDF. They weren't seeking to pit strength against strength. They went out to murder.
The premise of J6 is the basic flaw of it: they are seriously asserting that Trump tried to overthrow the United States government. This *obviously* wasn't what Trump was trying to do. And to keep the absurd Narrative going, just like with Trump-Russia, all they can do is lie.
If you seriously believe there was even the hint of a thought on the part of Trump or his people that they could just muscle Trump into 4 more years, you're an idiot. The J6 people - and Trump - are patriots; they just wanted their questions answered.
You can assert all you want that 2020 was legit, but half of your own people believe otherwise. And half thinking it was cool *isn't good enough*. It has to be nearly universal acceptance of the results. To sh** on those who had questions was your horrendous mistake: not Trump's.
The resistance to MAGA is simple to describe; it is cowardice. Fear of change but far more importantly it is *fear of responsibility*. We’ve been infused with cowardice: instructed to wait for permission and that the government has to fly cover when not ordering us around.
We used to be a nation of people who took off into the West without so much as a by your leave and then did whatever the hell we wanted and then set up a government to ratify it. Now we fill out forms for permission to own not just a gun, but a car or home.
MAGA means the end of that: because a great America is an America of people with clanking brass balls doing whatever they please. This is terrifying: and those who have the widest yellow streak down their backs are fighting hardest to stop MAGA.
4 died in Benghazi and they arrested an obscure filmmaker to deflect attention from their failure.
This didn’t bother you.
They manufactured bogus evidence against Trump and the apparatus of federal law enforcement was set upon Trump and his people based on this pack of lies.
This didn’t bother you.
Various well connected Americans - including Joe Biden’s son - were given high paid, no show jobs in Ukraine in obvious exchange for influence on American policy.
They are most of them a combination of addict and insane. Most would probably reject any shelter offer and if you convinced them to take the shelter they’d rapidly destroy it. You are correct that no decent society should allow this; but are you prepared to do what’s necessary?
It isn’t going to just be spending money and building housing. You are going to have to compel these people: into the shelter you provide and in getting them off drugs, into what psych treatment they may need and then teaching them the rules of civilized life.
Being sane and civilized is not natural: it has to be taught and then enforced. These people either never were taught to be civilized or they forgot it in a fog of selfishness and excess. Bluntly: you may have to beat decency into them. Will you?
The Pro-Choice people are very much at the heart of what is wrong: greedy cowards who will destroy all as long as they think it’ll keep any sacrifice or suffering away from their door. Think about it: they want to f*** like crazed monkeys and have no consequences for it.
They want to go to school without paying for it. They want well paid jobs without earning it by years of apprenticeship. They want *their* healthcare immediate and free regardless of basic realities. They are black holes of incessant wants who want to pay no price.
Well, the price has to paid. It always has to be paid. Even God’s grace was purchased for a price, after all. God (or the universe, if you’re an unbeliever) has decreed there is no free lunch. Everything has a cost. You can push that cost to someone else, but that makes you shit.
