Meh, I'm not afraid of him. He won't win anyway. :)
I've been keeping up somewhat with German news and what's happening in Europe doesn't really paint a great picture. Seems like we're basically in the same boat here in the US...
Meh, just a bunch of doomscrolling. Here's the thing. They release polls and stuff, but the people most likely not to vote for Trump don't really do polls.
Harris will win by a landslide. Trump will call it a fraud.
Lemmy will immediately send me comments like "Why are you still here, troll? You failed! Now go disappear" (Even tho I've always said Trump would lose.)
Trump will ask for recounts. Threaten to sue the planet Earth.
Lemmy will keep wondering why I'm still here. I'll post news about Trump and Third Parties talking about how much Harris sucks, and Lemmy will continue saying I'm a russian troll trying to to destroy the US and get Trumpers to take over the US.
And while all that drama is going on, everything will be fine. Harris will be sworn in.
And in 3 months people will go back to bitching about how rent is still too damn high.
And people here will still be bitching about why I'm still on Lemmy and ask me if Putin is mad at me and knocking on my Moscow apartment door. :)
So relax, friend. The world ain't gonna end. I promise.
I guess I always was a pessimist, I sure hope you're right though.
I am. Thanks!
This guy loves smelling his own farts.
Well okay then
