Plus everyone is so scared about what Trump might do as opposed to what Biden is doing, which is a genocide. Hell, he’s probably won over some people from the right for his unwavering support for Israel.

    It’s all dependent on swing states. The news is gonna make it out to be some big nationwide battle but the reality is it’s gonna come down to how ignorant people in like 5 states are.

      To really emphasis this:

      The tight races in the trio of states had a big electoral impact. As NPR’s Domenico Montanaro has put it, “just 44,000 votes in Georgia, Arizona and Wisconsin separated Biden and Trump from a tie in the Electoral College.”

      Of course, Trump is no stranger to narrow victories. He won the 2016 election thanks to just under 80,000 combined votes in three of those six key states.

      Palestine in and of itself won’t sink him. However, if you add in inflation hitting the essentials hard and the housing market going into unobtainium territory, that will be enough to get a second Trump term.

      Before on their way to cast their ballot for the candidate who won the majority of votes in their state, the electors will get a visit from mysterious men dressed in black and be shown never-before-seen footage of the JFK assassination from a strange vantage point. After the film ends and the lights go back up, the mysterious men dressed in black will say three words:

      “Vote for Biden.”
