In the unlikely event that Trump wins, how will you react?

You guys, seriously. Trump is NEVER EVER going to become president. Your days of shart worries are over before they even began.

the oppo dump is still coming

it qualx's case it already came

not a yank, don't give a fuck

I think we need a poll on which post is the most retrospectively lol in this thread.

誤訳侮辱 probably a lockout in the top five, but only because there is bizarrely no Shakey itt.

Hope your Syrian co-workers are doing alright, YMP.

shart baseline bucket dump

has anybody's alcohol consumption gone up? weirdly mine has gone down but i figure that will change this weekend

Is this guy on PEDS?

Those rallies, I didn't realize how long some of them are, and he doesn't really seem to sweat or run out of energy, especially for someone that doesn't seem in good health. He seems completely unchanged all the time

proof that being teetotal might stop you sweating profusely, but there might be a host of other unwelcome side effects:p

going to try and get on TV and say "we want hen fap" 3

What's taking these three so long?

I wonder who the 7 people were who said they were going to leave the country, and I wonder if any of them did

6 chickenshits still owe us a Rubio beatdown

I'm buying a gun. Not even kidding.

I'm pretty sure DJP followed through on that, too. Understandably.

I'm 98% sure I was one. I did in fact move back to Canada. Tbf, it was 1.5 years after he took office and not entirely for directly Trump-related reasons (but I don't think I said it would be).

i moved to [name place]. oregon, actually. would've left the country, but couldn't think of any other countries that would take me.

He’s going to win again

shut up, nuh unh

I have a bad feeling about it. Feels like 2004 again.

it's two years away

Yeah, seeing anyone make confident predictions about 2020 this far out is baffling to me - especially with the sheer number of things likely to happen in the interim. I wouldnt even feel confident about predicting the midterms never mind 2020!

I know. I'm not confident about anything. Still steeling myself against it. 2004 sucked.

How are we only halfway (or maybe even only a quarter of the way) through this shit? How?

world ended in 2012, we are in hell iirc

So if it feels like 2004 now, that would mean 2020 will be like 2006 :)

good mourning!!

if posting shit like this makes y’all feel better then go hog wild i guess

To post, "American presidents tend to win re-election" isn't the same as "He's going to win again," so Brad otm.

but if it does not make you feel better i’m wondering what purpose it serves other than to make other ppl feel panic, the nyt needle as a personality

If you don't already feel panicked during most of the time you spend conscious, I envy you.

i'll have you know i'm heavily medicated sir

not gonna go around predicting anything but imo it's best to prepare yourself for the worst, pessimism of the intellect / optimism of the will and all that

xpost I said I envy you, sheesh.

saying "he's totally winning again" before the fuckin' midterms have even concluded and before candidates have even been identified is pointless defeatism and alarmism.

like idk if ya know but the idea that Trump could win re-election is a thing *everybody already knows*.

mentally obsessing over it 2 years in advance doesn't "prepare you for the worst", it causes you significant mental distress so that if it does wind up happening, you're too mentally fried to fight.

theres no less merit in it than the prayer-beading feverishness in how hes about to crumble at the next revelation from the wp

cos those are the only two options

also p sure this message board is much more jaded than the rest of the country.

look at the average post along those lines in the politics thread and see how well it is received.

nah its more that theres not rly a valid place to criticise any of the fantasies other than an "i dont like it" grounds which is childish

xpost plus, it's important to remember that while the many scandals obviously didn't sink him, they did often make it more difficult for his administration to accomplish things and have probably helped the Democratic House midterm and gubernatorial races shift blue.

not to diminish the horrible things his administration has done, but his unforced errors have stemmed the tide at times...

i can see why Alfred gets so frustrated with the thread(s) now

jeez I wasn't recommending obsessing over anything

fuckin alarmism gives me panic attacks, eat shit deems

ppl being like “oh this is the thing that will finally get trump” is merely eyeroll worthy, it does not cause me unmeasured anxiety, maybe treating the two as a binary and anything outside of it as “childish” is maybe dumb

i know you’d love to tone police every conversation on ilx but maybe fuck off here

Brad otm

hmm

not what i said at all but lookit
