i kinda had an epiphany even doe it's probably just common sense to most people and im retarded.
it doesn't matter if trump wins tonight, and he probably won't win this election. if he somehow does, it won't matter. he lost the 2024 election in 2020 because no matter what he does it's going to be too little/too late. there's going to be a lot of opposition if he wins, you'll see 2020 qanon tier conspiracy theories but the difference is that people in the actual government will believe in them. they will do EVERYTHING to keep him out of the oval office, and i wouldn't be surprised if they did manage to somehow do it between now and january.
let's say he does win and he does become the president again. i'm going to sound like a broken record, but it WON'T MATTER. he didn't do shit during his first term, and there is no way in hell he's going to do much with today's political climate in mind + the fact that he's very clearly starting to become senile (like 2020 biden tier, not a vegetable yet but getting there). four years simply isn't enough.
and what happens if he does something major? guess what, that won't matter either because it'll just get reversed/repealed like how Biden did with a lot of trump's 2016-era policies. and with the demographic shift in the US, i don't have high hopes for another relatively conservative person winning an election for a long time. a 2024-2028 trump presidency would merely be delaying the inevitable. the president does not have the power to fix a problem like that, and certainly not within the span of four fucking years.
i'm not saying you should be all down and depressed if kamala wins; she probably isn't going to turn life upside down, even biden couldn't completely fuck things up.
please feel free to argue against this, maybe there isn't something i'm seeing. i'm pretty retarded anyway.
