Because this time is exactly the same as the first time, isn’t it ? He just barely won the EC last time. He didn’t accomplish anything but tax cuts last term and his schtick is old news. A bunch of ChristoFascists will vote for him but it won’t even nearly be as close as 2016. The recent polls are land lines. The recent election though, showed where the electorate’s priorities are.
His supporters fully believe his win was stolen the first time. If he does lose the election, that will not be the end of it. It seems like the real die hard supporters aren’t even aiming for a legitimate electoral win of any kind even if rigged, just pure coup. They are a tiny minority, but authoritarian governments are often supported and put in place by a small minority of the people.
His victory last time was entirely due to Hillary being a weak candidate and exploiting Cambridge Analytica’s illegal/immoral data scraping to tailor his message in swing regions.
While his base is more riled up this time, I’m pretty sure they are smaller, and many moderates that took a chance on him would never make that mistake again.
Considering the left is 65% of the population He’s gonna have a tough time
What Trumpers perceive as the left is even larger. To them, Mitt Romney is a leftist RINO lol
this didn’t stop him the first time
He wasn’t very thorough if ‘it didn’t stop him’ the country is still 65% vermin.

Let’s hope you are right
While I hope you’re right, we also can’t get complacent. I remember thinking Trump had no chance in 2016 also.

His supporters are like the disabled children at a family reunion. Everyone has to work together to keep them from hurting themselves.

At least IMO. I guess we’ll see.
I don’t care, I’m going to vote anyway.
I’ve never spoken against voting and actively encourage it
I wasn’t clear in my comment. I meant that I dont care if the polls show my favored guy winning in a landslide, I’m still voting.
Complacency is what I think happened in 2016.
Definitely, Agreed
