    My prediction is:

    • If it’s close at all, both sides (of the same ideology) will be rabid

    • If it’s a clear win for Kamala, Trump and co will crow about how it was stolen and use stochastic terrorism and/or try to get the supreme court to give him the election anyway

    • If it’s a clear win for Trump, Kamala and the democratic party will be like, “Welp, shucks, that’s how democracy goes, sometimes you hand over the reigns peacefully to fascism! Guess we have to fight against them in 2022, plz send another $10.” Meanwhile, liberal voters will be like, “Whiplash, wth democratic party, you can’t give in that easy!” And then some people to the left of them will be like, “We told you it would be like this” and they’ll be like, “Oh hey, yeah, you exist. It was your fault that we lost, ‘the left’. How dare you two remaining voters of a left-leaning persuasion in a country ravaged by red scare paranoia vote in fascism!”

    Edit: Meant to say 2026 in reference to midterms lol, but the slip there just shows how similar my brain is processing this to being like past elections.

          It’d be hilarious if Dems denied the election, demanded Kamala not certify the election and then stormed the Capitol.

          Russiagate is gonna make a comeback, I feel.
