    No matter what happens, I’m worried. I’m not even American.

    Resident Canadian here… If Trump loses, we’re possibly looking at another January 6th, and potentially it will be far far worse this time… If he wins, there may be a similar uprising for the same reason.

    If he’s elected and sworn in to office, there’s a very real chance that he will be the last president, voted in to power by an election, and sworn in.

    Every outcome is scary. Good luck you guys.

      While that’s possible, I kind of suspect that if Trump clearly loses this election, the Republicans will just start distancing themselves from him.

      He’s 78 and on trial for multiple felonies. In 4 years he’ll be 82 with 2 election losses in a row and possibly be still embroiled in legal battles. I just don’t see the Republicans trying as hard as they did in 2020 to keep him afloat when they can just ditch him and focus on their rebrand for 2028.

      J6 was only able to happen because Trump was the current president. They’re in a far better position to be ready this time.
