I suspected all along there was a "I double-dog dare you!" involved....
A CPA I used to work for - crabby guy - revealed to me that he was a cheerleader in college, in Texas...could have knocked me over with a feather with that news. As it turns out his frat brothers double-dog dared him to try out. Testosterone can obviously get you into situations you didn't expect.

While I’m not in favour of whitewashing history, I think there’s at least a middling chance that future historians won’t even refer to the Trump administration. They’ll call it ‘The Interregnum’.

I suppose that's more appropriate than 'The Shit Show'.

It's crazy that twice in this young century the White House has been effectively unoccupied.

But I can also see rabid trumpanzees changing the vote with their own bad behavior. I can see them, for example, marching around polling places, armed to the teeth (open carrying, obviously), threatening anyone who "looks" like a biden voter (which means they'll shoot at anyone who's black or hispanic or visibly LGBT). I even remember reading an article a while back about a trump supporter breaking into a mailbox and throwing out the mail because he heard that democrats are more likely to mail in ballots. If these kinds of stunts keep happening, I could see Trump easily "winning" simply through grass roots voter suppression.
This election is going to be a doozy. I'm honestly afraid what's going to happen in a week.
This might sound silly, but what about Democrat voters wearing Trumpish "camouflage", yet with a small almost unnoticeable to the trumpanzees (love that word, btw) marker that they're actually gonna vote Biden? Or is that just a silly stretch? IDK.
If any, I'd imagine a lot of Democrat voters having a MAGA hat handy in the off case they get their "loyalties" questioned. I would. I certainly have to camouflage my lack of beliefs where I live in public from time to time.
I've thought of that and it's not a bad idea. Unfortunately, if the trumpanzees find out, they'll just let their real racism shine and chase away anyone who's black or hispanic or assumed muslim or visibly a member of the LGBT community. I've seen stuff like that happen. And it also doesn't change the fact that they're fucking with mail in votes which, again, is going to have a big impact in this election.
Also, for everyone reading this, vote early if you can. Seriously, the trumpanzees are obviously going to wait until the last minute and they'll go vote whether they actually have covid or not. There are probably going to be a lot of them, spreading the virus to anyone else standing in line with them. Because their dear leader has taught them that it's not a serious problem..... despite the fact that it's killed nearly a quarter million Americans in less than a year.

Be sure to check the rules in your state regarding what you can and cannot wear to the polls. Some states have pretty strict laws regarding the wearing of anything promoting a candidate or party. I suppose you could be subtle and wear blue or red.

Trump doesn’t want to be president. He hates being president. He’ll flap just enough to save face, then go whinging off into the sunset. He’ll mollify his followers by spending the rest of his life complaining about how the election was stolen from him.
Boru I have said for years - Trump was probably the most surprised guy on the planet when he was declared winner.
I suspect it started off as a goof - and it got away from him...
Yup. The first thing I noticed when he got the job was his body language said, "Well, shit, now what!?" Anyone can go back and look at the pics.
If you get to thinking you’re a person of some influence, try ordering somebody else’s dog around.
