This might play out how the election would have gone if Covid hadn't been the factor that it was, as well as the George Floyd protests. There's nothing like that from normies to motivate them against Trump. The Palestinian protests aren't the same. Covid isn't in the lockdown phase that people detested so much either.

All the Dems keep pushing is Project 2024 fear propaganda and most people aren't even aware that's a thing outside of lgbt groups. I personally see Trump winning in a close race but it's hard to have a hard prediction for this election.

Ok so can any 'Murican allies explain to me if Trump is actually running or not? Isn't he removed from certain ballots already and facing a million charges in court? Also when are the candidates nominated? Aren't the Republicans desperately trying to get someone other than Trump to run?

Honestly it's disappointing that a dude who is currently committing obvious genocide (the e.g. indigenous American genocide annoyingly but admittedly being better obfuscated) can still get 40%. And that the mono-party can still get 100% (with both third-party repression and, as part of that poll construction, being the way they are).

Whatever. "Business as usual." disgost
