Alright, I try to talk less and less about US politics online for a bunch of reasons. Mostly: I'm not American and this shouldn't be a part of my life, and I'm doing my best so that it doesn't become a bigger part of my online life than it should. (because of that, I have muted a bunch of related keywords and I may or may not see your replies, so that you know.)


So...

Here is how I think things are going to go with this US election. It's a feeling I had since the day Harris became Trump's opponent, and it only becomes stronger and stronger every day, even more so after this debate.

Trump and his team (or at least his team, it's unclear how much he's aware of his surroundings) have given up on trying to win the election. Just given up.
They know they've already lost.

What they're going to do is deny that the results are legit, just like in 2020, but with more force and more planning, and they're going to attempt a coup. An actual coup. Much better prepared and planned than what they tried on January 6th.

And today's debate was a part of this. What every sane person saw was a guy who's totally crazy rambling nonsense, but never forget that when he does that regardless of whether he realizes it or no, he's not talking to you. He's not talking to the mysterious and elusive undecided voters. He's talking to his base.
He's not trying to convince anyone with his ramblings. He's trying to energize his base. He's trying to make them angrier than ever. He's firing them up for the after the election.
