Ding Dong.....the US Politics Thread (Part 1)

Not sure of total remaining, but that sounds about right. If he is pulling about 75-80% of the votes, would he need closer to 30% being reported to pull ahead?

Secret Service is moving Biden’s detail to President-Elect level. Trump is going to lose it when he finds out.

The total remaining doesn’t fall at the same rate as votes are being counted. They keep finding more down the backs of sofas! :rofl: Imagine if they were also able to look in that bit at the bottom of a car seat that’s impossible to get to? The shit that must be down there.

I’ve no problem with describing Trump in those terms. If you look at the way Hitler consolidated his grip on power the echoes with Trump are clearly there. Inciting militia groups to intimidate election officials is the latest trick he’s pulled.

Hitler may have had much more sinister motives than Trump’s self-promotion and personal gain, but the tactics and approach to things like law and order, democracy, the media, opposition, and his casual disregard for anything catching fire in the process? Straight from the fascist playbook.

Who was it that asked about Trump’s concession speech??

Will never happen. He is apparently getting more and more belligerent.

Can’t wait for one of those big arse Marines in the fancy blue coat to drag him out by his rug.

If you’ll give me a second to pause proceedings and express a thought: could you imagine @SBYM’s potential if he worked even a quarter as hard as John King?

Carry on. Count!

Fascist is a totally fair label to use for an ethnonationalist authoritarian who violently opposes liberal politics and organizations. I think the criticism of his style and words sometimes make people miss the actual actions of his government. The number of ways of he has completely obliterated the rules that are supposed to govern our executive branch are extensive, especially in ways that are geared towards limiting the pushback he will get from further violations.

I get he is in the process of being voted out, but all dictators are only dictators for as long as those around them allow them to be, so I dont think that precludes using that word fairly to describe his approach to government.
