Let me be clear I think Trump wins.

However.

If Biden wins that means that a candidate who has spoken in person to what at most 1-2000 people (trying to be extra generous) out of the entire country can win. He will win the election by being a blank slate that whomever can project their bias onto and he becomes that because he never had to say policy out loud.

The media and tech can black out an entire story even in this current era and control the country essentially.

I know it’s said all the time but I really don’t know how a true conservative can win in that kind of climate. The media will know that it can just run the clock out and get the candidate they want elected.

If Biden wins the White House and the Democrats win the Senate, the GOP is done as a party.

Puerto Rico statehood, DC statehood, court packing, immigration changes, refugee importing, Big Tech empowerment, etc.

There would be no way to recover.

If Biden wins, he’ll be shunted aside for Kamala with the quickness. I’d be willing to bet he’s never inaugurated.

Independents need to be aware of the ramifications of their vote. Yeah, you may not like Trump personally...is that enough of a reason to turn the keys over to Kamala?

He will be inaugurated but they'll force him out within the year. The whole 25th Amendment deal brought up by Pelosi wasn't about Trump, even though she'll say it was.

A Biden win will show that the leftists control of media and big tech is sufficient, in and of itself, to win any election. If a walking corpse like Biden can win without campaigning, anyone can.

that's kind of been my argument about how a Trump victory would be shocking

imagine if tech and the media were legit unbiased and fair to both parties. how would DEMs ever win shite on a national level?

Biden is a puppet. The most irrelevant candidate of all time. He's a facade for the far left.

Depressing is considered if the individual in question has never done anything, good nor bad, just an honest face that gets propped up.

Distressing is that he is not a blank slate. His chalk board is filled with rambling scribble that covers a host of corruption and policy decisions that harm the country and enrich his family and friends.

I agree but I’m purely discussing election process for the foreseeable future.

There is no incentive for a Democratic Presidential candidate to interact with the people at all once they survive the primary.

I think Biden would just enjoy a 4 year, 6-star vacation while Kamala runs everything. It will be an open secret as to who's really in charge. Then Biden will just decline to run for the 2nd turn due to (((medical reasons))) and Kamala runs for her own 2 terms.

Guy with 47 years of political experience including Senate and VP is a “blank slate”. OK.

I would not say he’s a blank slate either. Just a lifetime politician with dementia.

At that point it would take a population with nothing left to lose but freedom and a modern-day William Wallace.

i don't think it's impossible, but it would take something like the DEMs legit doing all the crazy shite they're threatening (court packing, statehood for extremely liberal areas, etc). the problem is it would be difficult for a GOP to unwind these things IF they could overcome the structural issues presented by the DEM behavior

add that to the media-tech conspiring and it's going to be very, very hard

Why?

The media and tech have clearly shown That they will block out a scandal of their favored candidate. It Biden wins that shows that it works. Why would they ever do anything different from here out?


When has the conservative candidate ever been the media favored candidate?

You are correct. It would be a complete transition into the next level of government tyranny and control with no hope of reversal in the near to intermediate future. And it could possibly happen. With the massive early voting, nothing should surprise anybody.
The optimism right now among Louisiana Trump supporters is starting to remind me of 2016. Sometimes the local/regional bias distorts what is going on around the country.
