2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.

MODERATORS
after reading the article, these statements do seem more blatantly racist.
like he isn't pretending not to be talking about latinos anymore, He's talking about the domestic enemies from Caracas.
He knows he's going to lose, so he's just shouting any crazy thing he can think of to try to provoke a violent confrontation (literally the only thing that can save him from going to prison).
The polls show them nearly tied and he's got backup plans to steal in several states. He's also an extreme narcissist. This is Trump when he thinks he will win.
Which is somehow even more terrifying. If Harris was up 20pts in swing states and he was pulling this shit you could explain this as him trying to get a violent organization going.
But this race is a coin flip - and he's fucking still inciting violence. What the hell is he going to do if he wins?
What the hell is he going to do if he wins?
All the violence he's promising.
It will be The Purge, except only the cops will be doing the purging.
He was a sore loser even in 2016 when he did win because he was upset he didn’t win the popular vote, only the electoral college. He had fake electoral maps he showed off that painted pretty much the whole country voting for him and he repeatedly claimed that he won the popular vote, but democrats cheated and that is why it looked like Clinton won the popular vote. No matter how this vote goes, Trump will act outraged that cheating happened and made his numbers underperform, even if he wins in a landslide.
The terrifying thing for me isn't even just that he could win. Yeah, that's a terrifying prospect.
But the fact that regardless of if he wins, there are so many people in this country, in our cities and among us, who are excitedly calling for the murder and eradication of the "other" who live here with us. That's terrifying.
How does he know he'll lose? From what I see in the polls there's a good chance he could win
Nothing he said as reported in that article was new for him.
And yet it's still a close election.
Yeah. I gotta check with my politics friend to reassure me it is still ok. But the hot 85F+ summer temps in October for some reason have me distracted with learning new seasonal outdoor plant and greenery management.
Maybe the orange combover big-mac-if-it-was-a-cogent-burger is just a distraction from planetary existential death?
Enjoy your lives now, folks. If this fucker wins, we will be entering a serious dark age starting on 2025-01-20.
how do you know, it's not like they have a detailed out project associated with that date
People said that with Raegan. I mean they were right then too, but my point is as bad as things get there is still more to lose.
