I'll preface by saying I just cast my ballot for Trump this morning and have always been a conservative.

Everything I read here is predicting big wins for Trump and the Rs in 2 weeks. When I step out of the local friend group and TD Poli Talk bubble, all I see is how that is not going to happen. I try to ignore the polls after 2016, but I always tend to think about how we all thought another red wave was happening in 2018 but it was not quite that way. What makes you think 2020 is going to be different?

Trump is on the ticket in 2020. In 2018, he wasnt.

That simple.

Trump was being hit hard with the Russia, Russia, Russia.
Lots of scared RINOS abandoned Trump
Trump wasn't on the ballot.

There's definitive proof that #MuhRussia was fabricated horse shite in 2020, drug out past the midterms to enable DS swamp to claw back 30 seats in the House.

Mid terms usually don't go well for the Party holding the White House.

The first two years of the Trump Administration got off to a bad start as a result of undermining by the swamp and some weal personnel choices.

Trump has delivered.

The Democrats have gone bat shite crazy and alienated many former moderate voters that could stomach them.

Biden and Harris are about the biggest shite show ever nominated by any major party.

Presidential election vs midterm. Turnout.
Social media is dominated by loud Left members who make it appear as though Biden is everyone’s pick.
MSM is run by biased Lefties and their polls support their narrative.

Hopefully everything we “see” is not representative of the actual voters.

2020 has "20" at the end of it while 2018 has "18" at the end of it.

The whole muh Russia HOAX hadn't been exposed as the sHitlary bought-and-paid-for SCAM that we all now know it was.

We now have DEFINITELY PROOF that the whole Impeachment SCAM was to cover for Hunter and Joe's BILLION DOLLAR corruption scheme. Trump merely asked for it to be investigated.


You would have to be one severely brain damaged piece of f*cking FILTH to even think about voting for Biden/Harris at this point.

Actually, didn't everyone predict a blue wave in 2018? And it turned out to not be?

In 2018 it was ALL OMB but without yet the extent of media malfeasance having been known. Thus many, many more people were accepting the media narratives at face value. But nowadays many of those many people from before are aware of the aforementioned media malfeasance. Playing field is a bit more even because their tactics have been much more exposed.

When you leave this "bubble", you are stepping into a world where the narrative is controlled by people who live in an equally biased bubble.

It is extremely scary how bad people allow themselves to fall for propaganda by the MSM media to vote for these democrats.

All you hear about is Trump is abrasive and being divisive from Biden voters. Do they just ignore all the democrats acting ridiculous like Pelosi ripping up the State of the Union speech? What policies are they truly voting on?

Look at election history. It usually goes like this:

1. New Party takes over White House
2. 2 years later, New Party gets hammered in Mid Terms
3. 2 years later, New Party easily wins re-election
4. 2 years later, New Party is mired in Lame Duck apathy or scandal
5. 2 years later, New Party 2.0 takes over the White House

Repeat cycle.

Your concern is duly noted.

FTR, a decent bit of the "blue wave" in 2018 was in California where they harvested ballots openly, without any fear of reprisals and no one did anything.

Also, recall that HRC's entire advantage in national popular vote was essentially identical to her lead in California.
