If Harris wins, we will definitely be in the wilderness years; in fact no one who supports her candidacy can tell me how she will make America prosper.

If Trump wins, more impeachments, and the looming financial catastrophe will be unleashed by the powers that be. Democrats will not let a crisis go to waste.

If Harris wins,
Trump will claim a stolen election. Thousands of republican watchers will sign affidavits of irregularities. Video footage will go viral with voice over claiming absurd things. Lawyers will file endless claims which will fail in court due to lack of evidence. Republican election officials will refuse to certify election results, Maga supporters will get angry and violent. Your country will be in crisis

I don't know, you are just describing how things were after the last election. Turned out pretty alright, all things considered. The death count wasn't even in the double digits.

Well, I don't think things turned out alright last time. You had some Republicans standing their ground and standing up for the law and constitution and you had some Republicans willing to do a great many things to try and steal the office. If Pence had gone along with it, or if Pence had hopped in that Limo and left the Capital building like the Secret Service were trying to get him to do so. You would have had a successful coup. Trump would still be in office and those that voted for him would have been delighted, they wouldn't have cared in the least that there was a coup.

You now still have millions of people in USA thinking that the Democrats stole the last election (still without any evidence of such a thing), angry and festering. They don't respect the DOJ or the CIA or FBI, or the Judges. They don't respect elections. They are just waiting on baited breath for Trump to give the word. Trump has surrounded himself even more by sychophants. Those in the party that are loyal to the Constitution have mostly been removed. Many election deniers are now on election boards in Republican states.
If Harris wins the election, D Trump will not go away with dignity and grace, he will use every trick in the book, legal or illegal to get in control. He doesn't hold office and he doesn't have his guy in the DOJ. So things will be different this time around.
But do you ever think he will lose gracefully?

If the orange clownlord wins he will be shot in the other ear.
He was previously shot by a Republican supporter.
I'm not saying there aren't crazies on the left with guns, but there isn't any plausible reasonable reason to think this is more likely to happen in this election rather than past elections.
And then Hillary will claim the election stolen by Russia and demand recounts. The country will be in clownworld.
When the Trump campaign was investigated for suspicion of helping the Russians interfere, this investigation had nothing to do with the Democrats, The FBI started investigating because of reports of a Republican claiming this stuff was happening. Then the Republican acting AG started up a special council to continue investigating this. They found that Trump campaign members met in secret with Russians in Trump Tower, they found that the Trump Campaign president was sharing polling data with the Russians. It was dodgy as hell.

Nah, but he's pushing 80 and not exactly a paragon of healthy living. This too will pass.

But have you noticed that his political opponents are ALL from the entrenched ruling class and elitists who have been in power for many decades?
But have YOU noticed that Mr Trump and his allies come from the same entrenched ruling class? The vast majority of people in power in America are the entrenched ruling class. Mr Trump is part of that same elitist class. Inherited wealth, financial connections and political clout; what could be more elitist that that?

Matthew 25:24-30 " He also who had received the one talent came forward, saying, ‘Master, I knew you to be a hard man, reaping where you did not sow, and gathering where you scattered no seed, so I was afraid, and I went and hid your talent in the ground. Here, you have what is yours.’ But his master answered him, ‘You wicked and slothful servant! You knew that I reap where I have not sown and gather where I scattered no seed? Then you ought to have invested my money with the bankers, and at my coming I should have received what was my own with interest. So take the talent from him and give it to him who has the ten talents. For to everyone who has will more be given, and he will have an abundance. But from the one who has not, even what he has will be taken away. And cast the worthless servant into the outer darkness. In that place there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.’"
Ah, the parable of the lousy “Master”, yes a fine lesson.

The wise thing to do is not look at people, look at results.

You are paying double for gasoline, and probably 50% more at the grocery store than 4 years ago.

Almost all of the top cities when it comes to crime are run by the left.

Simple facts.

If you split every state into two halves - one red one blue, and let them be run by that government - I bet the red side has lower taxes, lower crime, and better employment.

Probably a stock market crash as well, just like Trump was also predicting if Biden won in 2020.

More signs that the right is having trouble coming up with actual criticisms of Harris so they're just reusing worn out talking points from four years ago. Great to see them embracing recycling, at least.

and lower educational attainment, lower average incomes, lower per capita gdp, higher per capita maintenance expenses, etc

It’s not uncommon for urban areas to subsidize rural areas because rural areas tend to be poorer and have more infrastructure but fewer residents per sq mi.

And in the same post:

An impossible scenario, so your bet is safe. But, as you say, Markie Boy, better to look at results than to make bets.

So why not dig up some actual results for us instead?

Then you would really hate the tax system Jesus preached about. It disproportionately affected the poor a lot more than a flat tax does.

This is a weird way to say that you don't understand what the Parable of the Talents is about.

As long as those average Americans are either liberals or propegandized by the left stream media.

You really can't conceive of the idea that people don't like Donald Trump because of the things he says and does can you?

I didn't need any propaganda to not like Trump before he ever tried to enter politics. He was the annoying playboy billionaire with a reality TV show whose schtick was telling people they're fired, who was a philandering egotistical person that was the very archetype of the wealthy tycoon villain.

Do you think people just were enamored with Donald Trump until he got into politics? And then the evil deep state media machine came in and poisoned everyone's minds with, I don't know, footage of him speaking?

If that's what you believe then I don't know what to tell you, that's just weird.
