I hope this isn’t too E/N but since we are talking about the big wet boy and his electoral chances, I’ve been wondering if putting a pause on major life decisions until after the election is a reasonable idea. Long story short I am thinking of going to library school. Not sure if it’s worth trying to pursue any new professional skills though when it seems somewhat likely that Trump might win. Like is there any point in trying to improve my life if a dictatorship is around the corner? I know this thread is pretty sure that Trump would only win through some fuckery with the electoral college, and I’m hoping that it doesn’t come to that. I’m in Boston so I know I am relatively safe compared to Texas. But at the same time I’m not gonna be fooled like I was in 2016. I know the circumstances are different, but I also know the chuds are more delusional and gung ho on revenge than before. Idk I’m not sure where I’m going with this anymore, guess I’m wondering if other people are also putting things on hold until after the election .

Maybe don’t get pregnant or sign up for a position with the federal government, but going to university is not something you should push off because trungo might become president

Yes but when people are making constant jokes about how he drinks cool whip and has mayonnaise flowing through his veins, it may be targeted at a bad person but making fun of his fatness isn’t cool either

I don't mean to jump on you or anything, but this is a pretty silly question. Of course you should take whatever steps you can to improve your life. Putting off something that would benefit your life because you're worried that "a dictatorship is around the corner" is like putting off major life decisions because the weather is supposed to be bad this week. At the end of the day, you handle the things you can control, and don't worry about the things you can't control. Anything else is just making yourself needlessly anxious.

that is kinda the premise of the article

It’s not “try it, you might like it”

it’s “like him or hate him, if you only consume trump through short rally clips and half remembered 2016 speeches, you would be surprised at how deranged and senile long-form 2024 trump sounds”

They want to sell a narrative because Trump sells adspace

He barely eked out a majority in one of the most red states possible.

Haley is right on his rear end in NH poll wise, Ronny is not out

As the old saying goes, "Democrats fall in love, Republicans fall in line".

All of those Iowa Republicans who voted for non-Trump options are going to turn around and vote for Trump in the general, because to them any R is better than a Democrat. Meanwhile, as seen in the last few pages of this thread, you've got folks on the left who refuse to vote for Biden, even if it means Trump gets back into power again.

that presumes that they vote at all. i don't think any republican votes are going to suddenly switch to biden, but hayley voters very possibly will just skip voting entirely if trump's on the ballot, even with her endorsement. that was a lot of how hilary lost in 2016; democratic turnout as a whole was low because she had a really weak public face and had aggressively done nothing to either boost her likeability or reduce trump's in the 3 months going up to the election.

trump is likely to double down yet again on all of his insults and radicalism, which has been shown to discourage less-insane republicans. and biden's campaign has nothing to lose by mounting an all out media war because he is term-limited; hilary held back because she figured this election was in the bag so she wanted to conserve her resources for the next one. biden's done after 2024 no matter what, so he might as well bring the rain.
