Hi there, would you like to try some spicy products?

I was promised this poo poo was close, but still done and over for Trump.

Now you're telling me libertarians stole the lead in Michigan, PA may be closer than expected even with the absentee ballots, AZ may actually not have flipped and what's with Nevada again?

Nevada is trying to figure out what's outstanding, it appears to be a lot of mail-in from Clark, so super Biden-friendly. It's because they have a lot of same-day registration, provisionals, and they count ballots that arrive days after the election, as long as the postmark is by Election Day.

Arizona is weird, their "late early" votes skew Republican. They think that's what just dropped in Maricopa County, where most of the outstanding vote is. Number-crunchers seem to not really know why Fox News / AP made their call so early.

I'm not hearing concern about Pennsylvania - the main people I'm reading don't think it will be particularly close (probably Biden +2) once the mail-ins get counted. The mail-ins will be heavily Democratic state-wide.

PA:

I'd rather have empty platitudes out of a Democrat than whatever the gently caress it is which has come out of Trump's mouth the last four years.

Biden's deficit in Georgia is now 33,000 with votes still to count. 24 hours ago, it was more than 300,000.

An election with three confederate states more progressive than Ohio, birthplace of William Tecumseh Sherman and the largest per capita contributor of soldiers to the Grand Army of the Republic. Perhaps reanimated Sherman needs to clean up his own house before moving southward.

Same.

My dad thinks if Joe Biden wins black people are gonna get reperations and we're gonna round up all the rich people [him and his princely 120k salary + his house], and either send them to re-education camps or execute them.

He has openly stated to me his intentions of fleeing to south america and bribe the locals to let him live in peace in such a scenario. To which he also got really angry when I insinuated that considering our very german last name it wouldn't be the first time a [insert last name here] probably tried to setup shop in argentina after a political revolution.

My dad's always been a republican shithead, but he's really gone off the deep end in the last four years. He claims he doesn't watch fox news all day and gets his news from everywhere, but my sister lived with him for a month this year between apartments and confirmed all he does is watch it all day every day.

Last Christmas when I went home I stayed with my 90 year old grandma who was a lifelong democrat (my grandpa was a union shop steward, her brother was gay and she knew and didn't disown him), and she was blasting fox news 14 hours a day. It's sad and disgusting.

My father in law does this. Claims he doesn't watch any news anymore because it's all fake but then five minutes later he's spitting out fox news talking points verbatim. It's the dumbest loving thing to lie about.

He's technically right, fox news isn't news. It's an entertainment network. The news desk which your FIL probably hates because it doesn't reinforce his views is there so they can keep news in the title.

I think fear has a lot to do with it. In 2016 they may not have cared enough to vote for unpalatable candidates. Now the media and friends they listen to are constantly telling them that the right people are in charge but they are also aware on some level that the country is dissolving into unrest and sickness even if they can't acknowledge it. That gets them out and voting.

When it comes to choosing, all their influences tell them that the problems are caused by the democrats. I doubt it's even a conscious choice in a lot of cases. I would be willing to bet that a lot of them have nagging little voices in their heads that tell them that they are doing a bad thing, because the state of the real world doesn't match what they get told. But to acknowledge that would acknowledge a lot of really uncomfortable truths about themselves and their affiliations, so they bury that bit and continue to support trump.

If I were in the states, my mantra would be 'do you really want more of the same?'. Because that's probably the only way to make them consider that the current state of the US is the responsibility of the current leadership.

just my $0.02 from the other side of the world.
