Seeing as we are approaching the presidential debates, and with the actual election being only 42 days away, maybe we could keep this as a US election megathread for those on here who are interested? One location for all the discussion would prevent multiple threads clogging up the board for those who don't care to get involved?
Personally, the reality of having to experience this election in the near future is stressful AF so if anyone else wants to get stressed together... Jump on board.
Now, insert all the usual caveats about polling here but...it's looking positive that we will be rid of Trump come 2021, much to the disappointment of a couple of posters on here. 538 are well respected in the field of poll analysis so what they announce should be taken seriously.
Of course their analysis doesn't take account of any election fraud, Russian interference, voter suppression etc. But it's positive news none the less. Once Trump is gone, we can work on Johnson. Decent people of the world... Unite!
Pronouns: He/Him/His.

Ch.4 currently showing a bunch of types who are banging on about fighting to save their country. They all have a particular shared look about them.
Lots of talk about protecting their families.
Not one has said what the threat is yet.
“The left” of course. They’re evil and terrifying, and have big pointy teeth, scary red eyes, and evil where their heart should be. At least that’s about the level of debate I’ve seen on Facebook

Oh well, the left has been mentioned a few times, but no one there seems to be able to articulate what the problem is.
As you say...
And more talk of fraud and 'recruitment'.
Talk of farms having to shut down????? Ok, that one genuinely has me stumped. Farms will be forced to close because of Biden?

The evil socialists are going to force everyone on to a vegan diet so all livestock farms will have to switch to soya beans or face closure
Unless it’s some sort of protectionist thing, with tariffs currently protecting them from cheap imports? No idea if it’s that or not but just thought of it as a possibility

It was a case of Biden, in response to a question, spoke of the 'set aside; we have seen in Europe - with the aim of paying farmers to grow crops that are more carbon neutral
Something that would be voluntary on the farmers.
Unsurprisingly the dimwitted Trumpers managed to turn that into some sort of Stalinist collectivisation of the land, with the farmers being rounded up and send to labour camps.
Those on this side of the pond might wonder why the truth was not pointed out to them, but like our own brexiteers it is nigh on impossible to engage with someone whose mind is closed to any contrary evidence.
Ha! I think my posts back then mostly consisted of late night drunken ramblings, or desperately trying to get hold of tickets for big games that had sold out.
Nowadays only one of those two is true

The head of the Justice Dept.'s election crimes branch has resigned over Attorney General Barr's memo authorizing prosecutors to investigate allegations of voting irregularities — which are baseless.

Seen rumours probably false that PA has not yet been officially declared and is now going to Trump? Which would take away President Elect status for now?
That cannot be the case surely? So much information flying about its hard to make head or tail of anything which I guess is the point.

Nowhere has officially been declared and won't be until December. That's the normal process.
For PA to go to Trump he is going to have to get tens of thousands of votes thrown out. And take into account, the current total doesn't include any postal votes received after election day, which is the issue he is whinging about. Even though it is legal under PA law.
He has lost, he knows he has lost. This is all now a show to delegitimise the Biden administration.

Maybe it's Facism-lite. This is Beau. He's a prepper but to his credit also an original thinker. He gives his thoughts on what the USA is.
In addition to Trumpism, he just described the Michael Gove playbook to the letter, just missing out "attacks on the independence of the judiciary".
We are witnessing the move to Fascism under Gove/Cummings. The financial difficulties that we will face post-Brexit will heighten it, but will give plenty of ammunition to blame it on the enemy without, the EU for deliberately not giving us the deal we deserved, and the enemy within, Remainers and Human Rights Lawyers for undermining our Government and not backing Britain.
How can people not see that we tick every box?
The Government has even passed Enabling Acts! Ministers can now make Law without Parliamentary scrutiny, and the Government is now consulting on removing Judicial Review, the mechanism by which the Government is held to account by the Judiciary.
But it's difficult to understand and takes a while to explain, and most of it is soooo boring.
We should be very alarmed at the politicisation of the ex-Armed Forces community, too. Mussolini and Hitler both actively recruited WW1 veterans to the Black shirts and Brown shirts respectively to intimidate opposition and create fear. The "bagpiper shove" video is an example of how the tag "Veteran" is now attached to give an automatic claim to moral supremacy. We aren't very far away from the militias that we see in the USA. Tommy Robinson and his ilk can be the "useful" arms length populists who can create the climate of fear and set the agenda, which Gove and co can benefit from whilst also being able to disavow them if necessary.
It's really happening, right here.
And, of course, it wouldn't be hard for any fascist Government to find out who wrote this post. And on which device. The security forces have those powers, because we gave them to them during the "war on terror". And now the Government wants to give the security forces the right to break the law without legal review, and to give themselves the power to break international law without any comeback.
It is really happening, right here.
Still,.at least I have the European Court of Human Rights to protect me. I have a right to freedom of expression and belief.
For 50 more days.

RealClearPolitics have just put Pennsylvania back into "grey". No sure if this is significant or if they know something the rest of us don't regarding the legal challenges.
You've been pretty clued up on this stuff EG. Is it time to get worried.

Not got 10 minutes to listen - any summary available, pretty please? x
and therein lies the problem.
In the words of ArnoldMoorHen. "But it's difficult to understand and takes a while to explain, and most of it is soooo boring. " ............ but soooo important to resist.
