*FP edit*
Holy Crap, my first FP! Thanks all. As is apparently traditional, send me fun stuff. Pictures of Golden Puppies especially appreciated. :)
Also, I should note, I deliberately didn't comment on *what* the outcome was. Just that whatever it is it will cause a certain degree of panic in a proportion of the public.
pillageandplunder
Of course trump bashing always makes front page
pachyderm
Or, "You're still president you'll just be working from Mar-a-Lago all the time now..."
buttcreambandit
Remember how Putin stayed in power in Russia? I have a feeling trump is going to try that here. I’m scared Itl work
EnglandIsInMySoul
I predict a ton of people followers vote twice and cause a ton of probably violence at polling places too. He's out to cause trouble.
shutthefrontdoor
Want a more realistic outcome? Election is over by midnight in Trumps favor because his lackluster competition didn't campaign effectively.

Hate to say it, but a lot of people responded like idiots. I thought I was going to have to start wiping with old t-shirts.

Trump is gonna invoke Martial Law because of a state of Insurrection and Anarchy in several states the day after the election.
roar2O
this is a joke sure but it’s also 100% what’s going to happen
ruish365
I’m panicking now. They have spent 4 years dividing us. Sowing racism and classism. Instilling hate. Dragging the media. He won’t leave.

Which headline would get more under his skin, "LOSER!" or "YOU'RE FIRED!"?
adutchoven28
Why not "YOU'RE FIRED, LOSER!!"

As much as I want that to be it, if he's accusing the Dems of rigging the election, he himself is almost certainly rigging the election.

Like is not gonna get reelected knowing this country he will
fatcatdeadrat101
2 outcomes. 1 he wins and uses it as an excuse to stay forever. 2 he loosed, claims fraud and users it as an excuse to stay forever.
snuffcarcass
If he loses he’s no longer president as of January 21, 2021. He can pretend he is, and be arrested for trespassing
ventikona
Don’t forget the bloodshed at the hands of his supporters either way the election turns out.

Fuckn man child
thesketchykid
This was not written in the US, we are fools who put the month first.
TheAziz
Out of pure curiosity, why did you decide to do it like that? Is it because of the way of saying "November THE fourth" or something?
KingOFrod
Today we would say "September Thirteenth" (9/13/2020) as opposed to "The Thirteenth of September" (13/9/2020). 1/2
KingOFrod
2/2 We save that wording as formality for our birthday, "The Fourth of July"

I say we just change the locks when he is out golfing.
Revnis
Hell in Ohio even the post office sent mail about the mail in ballots and dropping them off
Revnis
If that shit doesn't tell you something I don't know what the hell does.
EnByOwl
I got the same thing in MN. Said to either mail it back early or drop it off at a polling place (which was preferred)
zobPilot
There will be panic either way
Shismouche
Yeah democrats are unstable snowflakes

Trump is going to win in a landslide. It doesn't matter how long you all stay in your echo chambers. People will actively vote against chaos
somerandomusernamething
In your opinion, what in trumps first 4 years has provided a benefit to America as a whole and justifies a second term?
RadicalLeftist
Im sorry.... you realise trumps president at the moment? Voting against chaos would mean voting against the incumbent
mullinsmark007
Ha! He barely won against Hillary, and people fucking hated her. Even the dems. You think he really has a chance against someone who 1/2
mullinsmark007
Doesn't garner as much malcontent? You're delusional.
RadicalLeftist
While still possible that Trump could win the electoral college Biden has a 7.5 point aggregate lead which is 3.5 up from this point in 2016
Raikupath
But Trump getting into the white house caused all if the chaos.
Iatesomecoffeecups
You say this as if trump is not actively causing chaos
VainyBangStick
How so? What makes you think in the face of all that has happened that he’s gonna win? Genuinely asking.
BobbehHootnaner
As a new citizen to America in the last 10 years, Democrats are a cancer to this country.
mullinsmark007
Both democrats and republicans are a fucking disgrace to this country.

There have been a number of cases filed about mail-in ballot procedure already.

I hope he goes out in a fucking body bag but that's also wishful thinking.

Legislative and Executive branches are already neck deep. It's only a matter of time before Judicial branch wades in.
Vexedi
No matter who wins in November, what ensues will be the biggest domestic shit-fest the US has ever seen.
Itsbiggerinperson
people say that every election....
TheBlueMuppet
I hope youve noticed theres been no presidency as shit and as selfish as this one. Things are actually different.
onecowboytoo
Worse than the Civil War?
talel81
There's always that possibility
Vexedi
If things continue the way they are, you may soon need to specify which civil war.
onecowboytoo
Hate to say it, but the red states (mostly south) would win this time. They have all the guns. I think military is mostly red.
Vexedi
It'd be a one sided slaughter of state vs unarmed. The gun patriots have no desire to be involved, they've already showed their cowardice.
Raikupath
With the current covid numbers it looks like you will get close to the same amount of deaths.
onecowboytoo
What about per capita?
onecowboytoo
Why would someone downvote this? It is a legitimate question. You can't compare a death count without doing it per capita. 1/2
onecowboytoo
There were around 30 million Americans then and not there are around 300 million. Throws the percentages way off.
saywhat58
Need about 6 million deaths for that
YouMealyMouthedCrotchPheasant
So here's how it will play out. The election will be close (which is fucking weird but for another comment chain) and Trump will claim.. /2

I think the second civil war will have more than two sides. I also think the meal team six redhats will get a nasty surprise if it kicks off

Is it a stretch to think we're witnessing the early stages of a second US civil war?
FenrirsDaughter
Not a stretch. Been thinking that since February.

This chain sounds like someone who didn't live through the 2000 election. It will be blocks, lawsuits, "stop count/keep counting" fights.

We are a young country. People forget that. The things that make us strong equally make us vulnerable. Vote wisely.

You've forgotten one major factor for this year mail in which will be mostly Democrat causing a shift as they are counted after election day
Mophise
Why would they be mostly Democrat?
kaiken1987
Because a significant amount of Republicans consider Covid precautions to be BS and a means to voter fraud. 1/
kaiken1987
Whereas in cities under normal circumstances voting lines can be bad and are typically more liberal they will opt for mail in more
only90skidswillgetthis
I would bet you 20:1 that power transitions peacefully to whoever wins as has happened without fail throughout America's checkered history.
only90skidswillgetthis
If you won't take the bet, is it something you believe will happen or something you want to happen?
dogestyle
I would have bet 20:1 for a Clinton victory in 2016, so...
t6gear
I might take that bet, but I need to know what you mean by peaceful.
AlaSnackbar
Not if Trump wins. The riots last couple of months were just the trailer.
ReginaKasteen
tbqh he's gonna claim he won anyway. Bald-faced lying has never stopped him in the past.

Or...or we pay a secret service agent to have an accident two times to the back of Dorito Mussolini's head.

So you support corruption, bribery, assassination, and theft of a democratic process?

Do you think the Second Amendment is to defend us against deer?

I agree with what you’re saying, but you also gave me a much needed laugh at the image of roving gangs of deer terrorizing the countryside.

Nah, it'd just get buried, I'd also have to do a lot more source linking in order to present it as a 'proper submission'.

Source linking for your fanfiction? What source could possibly exist?

WellAckchually
Absentee ballots are always counted. They aren't always counted before the media declares a winner, but they're always counted.
Notme68
How many states said they won't count ones that are received after the election regardless if whether or not they were mailed on time?
WellAckchually
All the ones where that's the statute. Those ballots will not be counted under any circumstances, because they don't meet the legal reqs.
WellAckchually
But all of the valid absentee ballots will be counted.
SlasherQuan
Ok so alternative theory, if Trump loses in any form the Senate will flip and he can be immediately impeached and removed
YouMealyMouthedCrotchPheasant

CelticScribe
I have no faith in the GOP to do the right thing, the courts are more likely to nip this one in the bud than anything.
Zyrixion
Bold of you to think the GOP will defect. That's way too much unfounded optimism for my blood.

Nah, just paying lip service, you saw it with McConnell when Trump suggested delaying the election. They'll be happy for chaos if it .. /2
