And before someone goes off on it, Police Explorers is basically a 14-21, law enforcement specific affiliated branch of the Boy Scouts of America.

538 have a nice little summary of how things are after the conventions now that a bunch of high quality polls have arrived:
https://fivethirtyeight.com/features...ady-be-fading/ Basically, not much has changed. Which is actually bad for Trump - number of opportunities for turning things around is reducing. |

Well it's obvious that the democrats won't take the "Mail vote is fraud" shit. John Oliver actually broke down how much work and trouble it would be to get just ONE vote out of it. And believe me, it doesn't sound like it's worth the trouble, not to mention the criminal charge that will follow.
If Trump had made that statement 50+ years ago, his argument would have actually been much more valid than it is nowadays. The other problem, is that electors don't necessarily represent the majority of people. In fact, electors are actually pretty obsolete if you look at the historical reason for their existence. Not to mention that the ability to re-draw district lines actually allows you to heavily influence the results, due to the winner takes all principle.

Since you seem level-headed enough to have this discussion... you do realize that Trump has violated the Constitution from Day 1, right? Everyone seems to have moved on from it, unfortunately... but there's this thing called the Emoluments Clause. I assume you know what it is, but just a brief refresher: It boils down to the only way you're supposed to earn money while President is through the Presidential salary itself. You're a fool if you think he hasn't been earning money from all the visits to Mar-a-Lago and any other place with the Trump name. Something completely illegal. Hell, they made Jimmy Carter give up his peanut farm back in the 70's.

So much for the so called "law & order" candidate, he is no different from banana republic presidents, which think they are the law and the order they talk about is a new order where his opinion can oppress the masses. https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/...nt/5702513002/ |

The guy warned everybody that he could shoot somebody on 5th Avenue in broad daylight and his drones wouldn't waver in their support. He's basically shot 200,000 people since the pandemic started and he's still breaking 40%.

Y'know, something I truly wonder about should Biden win (and I really hope he does)- maybe I'm just reading too much into the heavily-Democrats side of thing, but at the end of the day, Trump is still just a symptom of a MUCH larger problem. Sure, we can get rid of the symptom, but the underlying cause will still be there.
Basically, if Trump loses, his base will still be around. So far, all the guns and anything truly dangerous has just ended up being for show... but I have to wonder if they'd finally flip and decide to cause a coup themselves somehow... or at least start shooting people in the name of "Biden is illegitimate!" or some or excuse. Their leader might lose, but their other sources- Fox News, Limbaugh, etc... they'll still be around to stoke the flames. And that's what worries me.

As for things after the election, a lot will depend on the margin of victory. If the GOP lose the Senate and bunch of governorships as well as the overall popular vote by a large margin... then it's unlikely they'll try the same tactic. Of course, that doesn't mean they'll take a sensible pill - their overall platform has been a mess for some time.
