How will you react if your Presidential candidate should happen to?

[msc545]

Win?

How about if he loses?

Please consider BOTH possibilities as both things are nearly equally likely and write about your likely reaction to both.

So if Trump wins, I will not be happy, but I won't be making trouble or calling people names or filing lawsuits or whining about non-existent election fraud or blaming trans people or immigrants or inciting riots or breaking any laws. I will be a good citizen and accept it.

If Biden wins, I will not be happy but I will be relieved, and I will NOT be gloating or trashing my friends on the other side or blaming them for the loss, or accusing them of wrongdoing. I will hope for peace.

Who should I vote for? You have one man with 2 feet in the grave, raised the price of food and gasoline. Then, when he saw he screwed up, he started lowering the gas prices, but some States are still screwed over? A gallon of milk is in some places $5.00 wow what the f**ck?

Who am I to vote for? A Man is out of his head with Insanity and thinks he rules the world, He thinks he can put people down especially women, and he has assaulted some women sexually now does he deserve to be U. S. President? I don't think so

[GoodGuyBreakingBad]

Thanks for MHO :)

[zagor]

Neither is my candidate. So it's kind of a lose/lose outcome, but I think Biden, dumb and inept as he is, is survivable unlike the crazy narcissist on the other side.

[exitseven]

I try not to think about it. If Biden is reelected, life in America as we know it will be over.

I drove past the local Little League field last week and thought about how in another month the field will be full of kids playing baseball and parents sitting on lawn chairs cheering for their kids. People will be at the snack bar and the parking lot will be full of mini vans and big SUVs. It will be a scene replicated throughout the country. Things that we take for granted will be lost forever.

I thought about how the idea of home ownership may be a thing of the past and as democrats drive this country into bankruptcy the money that citizens have saved for the future will be worthless. Cash will be outlawed and only government digital currency will be used. We will be controlled by the government for everything that we do. And we will never have another fair election again.

[DryGermanGuy]

How could a guy your age be that childish?

[normalice]

Wouldn't those things be lost already since Biden is already president? Did you forget to factor in the fact that you are fake 😅

[exitseven]

@normalice Even Biden could not destroy America in just 4 years. If he has another 4 years and does not have to worry about getting reelected he will unleash policies that will completely crush rhe middle class and sell whatever is left to China.

[normalice]

but since you are fake i don't even believe you believe yourself 🤷

[exitseven]

@normalice you will not find anyone that is more real than I am.

[normalice]

Exactly what a fake person would say, lol.

[exitseven]

@normalice hahahaha. Just like Biden says "I am not lying"

[normalice]

Hahaha haha but you are, though. Like all the other fakes.

[msc545]

@normalice I don't think he is lying. This has always been his position.

[normalice]

I suppose there are people who can stay in the "any minute now" mode for decades for things like the rapture, but I have trouble believing it. The ruin the promised hasn't happened and so they are promising it next time instead. They are fake.

[msc545]

When it doesn't happen then they will simply turn the clock forward a little bit and begin talking about the next election and how if a fascist is not elected, there will be a disaster. This can go on a very long time.

[exitseven]

@msc545 Biden had already made such a mess it will taker a generation to fix it. His America Last policies have reduced our standard of living and every day he comes out with another policy that will make it even worse. He lies and the fake news cover for him. Meanwhile the costs of food and fuel continues to rise. We have over 10 million illegal aliens spread all over the country each one collects an average of $60,000 from American taxpayers. Do the math. It is insane and will only get worse. We are on the brink of WW3. Biden wants to have a war with both Russia and China and at the same time he is turning our military into a joke. I an seeing things in America that I never ever expected to see.

[DryGermanGuy]

So, the cost of fuel has risen from >5$ / gallon to <3$ / gallon. How did Biden do that, did he invent a new mathematical system?

[exitseven]

@DryGermanGuy He drained the Strategic Oil Reserves to artificially lower gas prices just in time for the 2022 election.. The reserves are almost empty and Biden has just said he will not refill them because it is too expensive and besides he wants everyone to buy an electric csr.

[msc545]

Provide some evidence.! This sounds like bullshit again.

[exitseven]

@msc545 you must live under a rock of you did not hear anything about this.
www.reuters.com/.../

This was the biggest story just before the 2022 election. Last week Biden announced he cancelled the purchase of oil because it was too expensive. Trump topped it off when oil was 25 dollars a barrel. Now it is over 80$

[msc545]

That doesn't mean prices rose as a result. they rose because of greedy oil company executives.

[exitseven]

Econ 101 says that when you reduce the supply of something that the price of it will go up. When Biden canceled oil leases, stopped the Keystone pipeline and waged war against the energy industry he did exactly that. The result was just what was expected.

[normalice]

He didn't drain the strategic oil reserves. He used some of it when prices were high and then replenished it when prices were low. If you werent so desperate to stay mad because you just want christian nationalism you would call this "strategic."

[normalice]

As for reducing supply, that's exactly what Trump did at the height of the pandemic when oil started getting cheap. He negotiated with his Saudi friends to scuttle refineries, creating a permanent bottleneck, to keep prices high. Completely stupid and liberals at the time said so, but to this day you probably can't comprehend anything to criticispze. Because, really, what you want is christian nationalism..

[exitseven]

@normalice he sold it to China at less than the current price but more than the 25 dollar a barrel price that Trump paid. Now it is more than half empty and Biden won't refill it because oil is 85 dollars a barrel. We will be in trouble if a war starts.

[normalice]

Not in real life, though. But again you have no incentive to be honest if honesty would calm your fake ass down, because your goal is christian nationalism, not lower gas prices..

[exitseven]

@normalice I want to see a return to policies that actually make our lives better and having a future to look forward to instead of having to look at prices rising every time I go to a store and wondering if this is the last summer I will be able to afford a vacation.

[DryGermanGuy]

So, Biden did something which benefits the average Joe (YOU) and you are still complaining about it, because... reasons. That's Biden Derangement Syndrome in a nutshell. The rest is just as wrong. The SPRs are not empty and of course they are slowly being refilled, as per usual policy. And just to complete the information: About 17% of that oil was exported, 83% was released into the national market (OBVIOUSLY). Of those 17% exported, China was one of the customers.
Why are you posting such nonsense, instead of informing yourself? Don't you know how or do you just not care?

[normalice]

@exitseven a lot of empty-canned right wing phrases in there, with no relation to reality. So, what you actually want is christian nationalism. You can't even pretend to deny it. All the fraud and lies of the right but you don't want to voice any opposition to christian nationalism lest you jinx your chances. It is that important to you..

[exitseven]

@DryGermanGuy name one single thing Biden did that benefitted me? My retirement account went down almost 200k and it started a month after he took office. He made gas prices jump to 5 dollars a gallon and the same with heating oil. Electricity IA almost double. Food is much more expensive, the same with building supplies. There are two hotels within walking distance to my house that are entirely filled with illegal aliens. I see them panhandling in Home Drpot parking lots and looking in the back of pickupntrucks for stuff to steal. Crime is crazy and if you kick out a squatter living in your house it is the citizen that is locked up. Taxes are higher than they ever were. I paid over 4000 dollars more in taxes this year than I did in 2022. I was planning on retiring but after seeing what was going on it am afraid to.

[exitseven]

@normalice The democrats call people Christian Nationalists like it is a bad thing. I don't see what is wrong with loving America and believing in God.

[normalice]

In summary, christian nationalism is a desire for divine retribution but no desire for divine love for thy neighbor. Good to see you admit it, tho.

[lightbulb27]

Dismay like last time if Harris and whomever else is running the show are elected. I noticed I react less to people that complain about the problems and simply inform them to vote better next time. I might start asking if they voted democrat or not, that way I can ignore their complaints about crime, and enforcement, cost of everything, etc..

Concern if trump is elected. I'd expect a massive backlash and I'm not so convinced the world will handle it as well this time. But I'd prefer this option over Harris especially assuming he chooses a good VP.

Hope we don't get into another war.

How to protect self and family when they are destroying financially? That be the question... whose buying all that gold and silver eh... Pelosi?

Either way I accept it and keep doing what I do and hope for the best, as have always done.

[Dargil]

I think anarchy and chaos is inevitable whether Trump wins or loses. If he wins, Antifa and BLM will go Bonkers and will bleed in the streets. If he loses, (by fraud is the only path) gun safes will unlock and an uprising will occur. Patriots will not allow the country to go down the drain any further.

[normalice]

If Trump wins it will be the end of democracy in the world for the foreseeable future. So, I suppose i would start learning Russian and Mandarin so when they take over here I can keep my wealth and feel less bad about all the idiots I have to abuse because they voted for this.

[normalice]

Oh, and if. Biden wins I will breathe a sigh of relief that the brainwashed don't outnumber the rest of us, as I feared.

[DryGermanGuy]

As John Bolton and others have said, Trump is too dumb to be a real dictator. But I am afraid his has some sick and cunning individuals working for him. So who knows what Project 2025 could achieve.

[SolitarySolace]

If Trump wins I’ll probably feel celebratory. A weight off my shoulders knowing this train that is the United States will return to its tracks and continue moving forward as opposed to derailed on its side in a desert looking like ruins.


If Biden wins… I guess I’ll start talking to Jesus more and pray more for the future of this country.

[Anonymous]

If Biden wins I will feel the same way I feel now. Nothing will change.

If Trump wins I will likely either try to get surgically sterilized or migrate to Canada, whichever is easier.

[exitseven]

Either way works for me

[Opinion Owner]

@exitseven fortunately I don't need permission to do either of those things right now, but thanks anyways.

[shortster]

Win - shrug and hope he does a good job.

Lose - shrug and hope the other guy doesn't screw things up more.

Sadly my hopes are almost certainly going to be dashed by the first month of their presidency.

[llorando]

If (big if) Kennedy manages to win, it'll be the biggest FU to the uni-party, and the start of a path to healing the divide that's happening in the US. We have so my many issues in this country that need fixing that never get fixed cause were unwilling to compromise and are always too hyper focused on the things we disagree on.

[msc545]

Right - just what we need - a crazed conspiracy theorist.

[llorando]

I don't give a *uck what other's think, it's my constitutional right to vote for my candidate of choice just like it's your constitutional right to vote for your candidate of choice. No candidate is perfect, including including Biden and Trump. This right here is part of the reason I left the Democratic party to become independent, to many fellow Democrats are/were quick to attack and smear everyone and everything they disagree with. Same thing happens on the republican side.

[msc545]

I don't care what or who you vote for.

[CuriousMufuxka]

I'll talk shit in good fun either way and then keep working towards my 2029 retirement!

[Anonymous]

It doesn't matter, either way. Because I can't function in society with how bad of a drunk I am

[jahaims]

I don't vote

[exitseven]

You need to step up for this one. The country is dying and everything that made it great will. E lost forever
