There will be a 4th assasination attempt

I put 20 bucks on Trump

• Kamala will attempt to galvanize her base by appealing to a matriarchal structure. Kalama's husband will publicly take a supportive role, emphasizing gender equality and position himself as an advocate for women's rights. However, a recent affair will come to light. He'll do damage recovery by talking about how behind every strong woman is a man who knows when to step aside. He will later release a memoir about the campaign.
• Kalama's campaign will derive a new slogan "Rise with Her". However, it'll be revealed that key staffers quit in protest over the strategic direction of the campaign and they join the Trump campaign, with accusations of sabotage. The campaign will lose focus towards the end, with a "Families First" tour that has poor turnout.
• In a last minute decision, Trump will call an emergency rally in DC and promises to reveal 'irrefutable proof' of election fraud. A small but unruly turnout will cause mayhem, with his voters buying fake locks of his hair. Several will be arrested for bringing large inflatable objects.
• One state will attempt to remove Trump or Harris from the ballot sparking a full blown legal circus. Both candidates benefit from the increased attention and nothing happens.
• On election night, Harris will be confident that she will win. However, she is pull aside to be told that one of her strongest states may be under legal challenge because of confusing ballot. She makes a speech about urging unity and patience.
• There will be no clear victor for either candidate. Both parties will have fundraiser efforts to do voting recounts. The inauguration will still happen since the electoral college decided already and voting never mattered anyway.

trump wins the election, but since the deep state can't trust him, they actually DO rig this election to make kamala win. but only diehard MAGAs believe trump when he says that because he lied about it last time.

then another january 6th happens.

then kamala girlbosses her neoliberal presidency right in to american civil war 2.

Just to be contrarian and not answer the question, what do we expect the actual material differences to be depending on who's elected?

Foreign policy probably looks really bad either way.
Harris is somewhat better on LGBTQ+ issues but both presidents seem content to sit back and let individual states do whatever in that regard.
Climate change/natural disasters are probably worse under Trump given that he loves to randomly gut important government agencies.

I will personally be the deciding vote. What should I write in?

I'm probably going to put money on kamala just because I need at least 1 good reason to be happy if she wins

I'm being pessimistic: I think Holocaust Harris is going to win because American liberals are so bloodthirsty and racist that they turn up in droves for her. I hope I'm wrong

Regardless who wins, I'm so ready to dunk on the losers, it will be a grand day

Republicans stall efforts to finish counting votes after election day enough to muddy the waters so that Trump gets a win like Bush in 2000. Kopmala gracefully concedes and every liberal's brain explodes when they try to suppress the thought of peacefully transferring power to who they were told was literally Hitler for the last 12 months

Alright, heres whats gonna happen- when the results are called in, Donald Trump will have won the electoral vote. On inauguration day, when Biden leaves office and shakes hands with Trump, he will be shot.

Immediately after, The gunman will be dealt with by the secret service. The FBI will conclude that the gunman was aiming for Trump, but missed.

I mean, I already got proven right on Dems walking back anything on trans rights, but I guess that's basically a free space.

I guess we'll get a scene like Pelosi donning African clothes, but with one of the Dems in American Indian clothes. Coincide that with one of the rare good things Nixon did for Indigenous groups being rolled back.

Please don't hand me the lathe though, I'm just following patterns.

The swing states all have a lot of fuckery at the local level and it will take a couple days before we know who is the true winner. SCOTUS will try to intervene but the lower courts will get ahead of them to ensure the states wrap up the counting. Harris probably wins, but the chuds will be frothing at the mouth. I'm setting the over/under for how many get shot dead by the authorities at 3.5.

short of Iran launching retaliatory strikes against the Saudi oil fields, i think it's totally a coin flip at this point

I think people are going to chicken out of third party votes

Uhh something emblematic of the country and unfortunate, like a police hate crime somewhere, and Harris wins.
