Apocalypse delayed: Trump keeps promising a doom that never comes (www.nbcnews.com)

Trump predicted that if Biden won, the economy would crash, crime would soar and Christmas would be canceled. None of that happened, but he's reusing those claims anyway.

If the election does not go his way, the economy will tank, Christmas will be canceled, and America as we know it will be “finished,” Donald Trump promised in the run-up to the 2020 election.

That race did not go his way, of course, and none of Trump’s prophesied cataclysms materialized under Joe Biden’s presidency. But that has not stopped Trump from recycling some of the same dark portents about a Kamala Harris presidency.

Fear and hate are the cornerstones of his campaign since he started it 9 years ago.

Which makes sense as they're the cornerstones of Fox News and Trump is just a walking talking distillation of all the worst parts of Fox News. At least he was at the start. Now Fox News isn't cutting it so he needed something harder and started doing OAN, and most recently has been dabbling in uncut Facebook and Twitter.

They're the cornerstone of fascism, and Trump, his voters, and Fox News are fascists.

Good thing Kamala and Tim came along to do an intervention

All those videos of riots and fires showing "what would happen in a Biden administration" (filmed in the Trump administration)

So what's coming first, the Rapture, the return of Jesus Christ, World war 3, Christmas being canceled? I need to make sure I have time booked off in my calendar.

Just like all religions promise the coming doom.

Creepy weirdoes like donnie need to operate on fear, fear, fear and try to surpass the intellect.

Turns out, that things have been going very well after his exit. I wish he'd just go away and leave American alone - we are just fine without this asshole.
