Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

He will. And I suspect it will be shortly (within the first two years) after he takes office, putting J.D. Stalin in charge. I suspect he has a serious illness, of which both he and his close advisors are aware, and they are keeping silent about it. It would explain Vance's presidential-nominee-style campaigning as well as a few other things about the planned transition...
That should actually make people more scared. A narcissist cannot fully comprehend their own death. Instead, it will make him even more volatile, more violent, and more vicious. If a narcissist is going to die, they truly believe everyone and everything else should too. Ask anyone that has watched a narcissistic parent die.
A narcissist faced with a terminal diagnosis is likely to respond with intense emotional volatility. The sudden loss of control and the threat to their inflated self-image can ignite unpredictable bouts of anger and even violence. Their sense of entitlement and the belief that they deserve special treatment will cause them to lash out anyone that does not meet their demands. This rage, driven by a deep fear of losing control, can manifest in dangerous, hostile outbursts as they struggle to maintain dominance in an increasingly powerless situation.
Simultaneously, their manipulative tendencies may escalate. They weaponize everything. It they're dying, everyone should be dying. The narcissist's desperate need to protect their fragile sense of superiority leads to highly destructive behavior. So, if it's the case that he has received a terminal diagnosis and he wins the presidency, which polls show is increasingly likely... Strap. The. Fuck. In.
I refuse to believe that they could possibly win. And in such a case. I refuse to believe that normal, sane, non-piece-of shit Americans will fail determine the cause of their cheating and correct it.
Short of this is anarchy as far as I'm concerned. There is no legitimate case in which tRump wins.
OK. Well, Silver's polling aggregator currently shows Trump with a 6.5% advantage to win the electoral college over Harris, so, you can deny the possibility all you want. That doesn't make it a less real, and at this point even likely, possibility.
