[It’s so Joever]

Genuinely concerned this election could be stolen.

Any rational personal would feel the same

My man, you run off of anxiety. Give your brain and body a break.

I love my country and in the prime of my life I’m seeing it come apart

Oh please, its prime was back in the 70s.

Reagan ruined everything.

Nope.  The rational people think we’re overreacting.

Dems are actively trying to steal it from Trump right now in Detroit and Philadelphia. This is 1960 all over again except Trump will fight.

Tea but trust me, your mental health is important. It’s important to stay calm and accept things. Not everything is going to go horribly wrong.

So I’m just supposed to accept it all because it’s for my “mental health?” WTF

[Dr. Frankenstein]

I get that conservatives wanted a republican Senate. A republican House. Republican Governor. Republican state legislatures. Buy why the actual f**k would you want this unhinged moron to be your President for another four years?!

[NYSforKennedy2024]

The right-wing sure loves State Rights when it comes to enslaving African Americans and banning abortion, but damn, those voting processes though.

Trump Republicanism will kill this party if not this country.

It fell apart after Nixon. He was the most competent President we have ever had.

You're delusional. You lost. Get over it.

How are we feeling about PA, GA, NV, and AZ?

Mods, should we continue to allow fascists on this site? Ban this idiot.

Hey dawg. The votes counted in Detroit and Michigan show that Biden won. Someone else is trying to take that victory away from him using a bunch of lawsuits.

I just reported that post for spreading false and misleading information.

[Okay, maybe Mike Johnson is a competent parliamentarian.]

Even if Trump actually did get an injunction to stop votes coming in after Election Day, it doesn't change the writing on the wall in PA. It probably means he keeps NC and maybe GA, though.

[Del Tachi]

Looking at the exit polls (yes, i know they tend to be flawed but whatever), 48% of voters said that the fight against COVID is going well, while a similar percentage said the economy was good or excellent.


Shows what a sick society we have and the tight grip the conservative propaganda machine has on people.

No, this shows how terrible the MSM and the people who live in their bubble are.  If it's not salacious innuendo, panic porn or fake scandal they don't care about/report it; it's no surprise many Americans don't listen.  "Real life" wins out over hyper-produced news flashes and concern pundits at the end of the day.  

No it actually shows exactly what he said.  We are in a national pandemic.  Your candidate is traveling around the country spreading the virus with reckless disregard for the most fragile among us.  It's not a fake scandal.  Shame on you.

Trump's COVID response definitely hurt him in this election (Trump is 42-57 on COVID).  Despite this, most Americans (outside of ridiculously locked-down places like NYC) have gone back to work/school, attended church/wedding/funerals and gotten way more back to "normal" than reporting by CNN or NYT would suggest.  People aren't doing these things because they live in "rabbit hole conspiracy world," but because normalcy is a choice each individual is actually empowered to make for themselves (and many are preferring to choose it.)  

The fact that Trump overperformed so much relative to expectations is proof that national sentiment is way higher than what the "doomers" in the MSM suggestively hope for (and there's even objective metrics that back up this idea, too.)  However, if you spent 24-hours a day watching CNN/reading election Twitter (like many on Atlas do) you'd think we were living during the fall of Rome or something, lol

The fact that Trump will lose but the GOP kept control of the Senate and gained in the House tells us that a lot conservatives *did* want the first things on your list but not Trump.

I had an email discussion a few weeks ago with an old friend of mine (a conservative/libertarian economist) in which he said that his dream outcome for the election was for Trump to lose every state while the Republicans ended up in control of both houses of Congress. 

[ProgressiveModerate]

How are we feeling about PA, GA, NV, and AZ?

PA: Likely Biden, at this rate he should pass Trump’s total with a cushion

AZ: Likely Biden. AP prolly knows something we don’t but both they and Fox News seem confident with their call

GA: Lean D, seems like Biden will pull out a squeaker and Perdue will end up below 50%

NV: Lean D, lots of ambiguity

No evidence was ever found in 1960. This nation was blessed to have JFK lead it. And it was a permanent scare on this nation that we allowed him to be taken from us.

Relax dude. I’m just saying you’re not doing your mind any favors by jumping from one thing to the next to worry and be anxious about all the time.

What are you talking about? This is false.

[Penn_Quaker_Girl]

Guys, I get that everybody is on edge and this election has worn away a lot of our tempers, but can we please please keep the bickering to a minimum while there's potentially important developments unfolding across the next few hours?
