I have a very bad feeling that we’re in for an unpleasant surprise on November 5th, just as Trump voters experienced four years ago. Trump’s supporters are far too confident of an electoral sweep in a few days, and I’m afraid that they’re going to have their world flipped upside down yet again. There is too much riding on a Kamala victory for too many powerful interests to allow Trump to claim office. Too many foreign interests, and too many domestic interests. Notice that there haven’t been any more attempts on Trump’s life. Notice how the Democrats appear to be riding out the clock, as if they’ve got an ace up their sleeve that only they know about. We’ll see this election end up with the highest turn-out of any election in US history, but I’m beginning to wonder if that’s a good thing. The media is now going with the neck-and-neck narrative, and it truly makes me wonder why. Why is neither candidate at least 5 or 10 points head? Why does it always appear that, at the very end of every Presidential race, polls just happen to show an even race?
We must imagine a Kamala Presidency, as impossible and horrifying as it may seem. It boggles the mind to envision someone like her in the Oval Office, utter dunce that she is. She has no ideas of her own, she can’t even comprehend the needs of this nation that she may very well helm in a few short months. No ideas, no sincerely-held beliefs of her own, which has been made clear from interviews and debates. She is the embodiment of the status quo, an uninterrupted continuation of the Biden Presidency on steroids.
I hope I’m wrong. Unfortunately, I don’t believe I am. Trump’s supporters must brace for a loss, and then turn their attention away from national politics and redirect their energies to their individual cities and states.
But if Trump somehow does win, what will be the reaction of Kamala’s more rabid supporters, along with the power centers deeply invested in a continuation of the status quo? Will they storm the Capitol on January 6th? Will they be thrown in solitary for years as a result?
The political temperature is too high in this country. Voters are acting insane, and spreading that insanity to their children and those around them. Neither side is going to take a loss in a civilized manner, but I fear more for the fallout of a Trump victory than I do Kamala. If Kamala wins, there will be recounts and claims of a stolen election, and maybe a few flare-ups of violence. If Trump wins, cities will burn, riots will ensue, and people will probably get killed.
I hope Trump wins, but I don’t believe the Machine will allow him to take office.
