    I hope to fucking all that's sentient that that isn't real, but given Rudy Guiliani is a lawyer we can't attribute them any benefit of the doubt when it comes to intelligence.

    If only we could identify some difference between him and his successor that would explain why certain segments of our population immediately spiraled into an irrational, uncontrollable rage.

    Oh well ... I guess it'll always be a mystery!

    It's not a done deal, but the chance is way beyond my comfort zone.

    The good thing is that Trump's polling is atrocious, and it doesn't look like he'll be able to steal the election, even with the courts.

    That would be the tipping point of no return in my mind, the one truly viable scenario I can see right now that would lead to a potential fracture of the US.

    I wonder if there are any similar stats for the period 1940 - 1980. I'm betting there were a few spikes between 1963 - 1975.

    Haven't both of you been insisting it was going to be the fault of "both sides" or "the left going too far?"

    I don't recall either of you predicting there'd be a civil war started by right-wingers attempting to violently interfere with the electoral process. :chris:

    It's worth pointing out that if you say anything for long enough there's an ever increasing chance of being proved right.

    However I'm of the belief the writing has been on the wall for a considerable amount of time, only the details were in doubt.

    nope...
    but it probably got lost in all the rest of us saying the same thing.. you just weren't paying attention for the last 15 or so years.

    I think the difference is that you're one of the few hoping for/helping it to happen.

    I did!!!

    I spotted the potential parallels of DJT and DJ Adams from Shattered Union. Now that SCotUS is packed I fully expect that it will proceed similarly withthe only difference being that the 'rona gets everyone at his 2nd inaguration.
