I remember seeing a post earlier about whether Hexbear thinks Trump or Biden wins 2024 but it seems no one predicted that there simply would not be a presidential election in 2024. At least if this keeps going
there'll be two instead!
This isnwhat actually is going to happen sometime in the next 2 decades with candidates are going to declare they won and the country is going to balkanize over it.
And I really don't think it'll be a civil war because there's no defined fronts, it'd be all the cities being blockaded by all the surrounding rural areas.
The only thing that might prevent this from happening is if liberals say the republican president won with their compelling argument of "fuck you what're you gonna fo about it" to move forward ad a nation and begin healing.
Isn’t that last paragraph basically describing the 2000 election?
Yea but it was a month long dog and pony show.
In the scanrio I'm suggesting it's more like 2020 where any objective observer agrees Biden got the EC votes to win but 40% of the country just says "nuh uh" and dems still end up agreeing to give up.
But republicans are usually smart enough to give dems a boogeyman to point to and blame for their loss because they understand liberals ideal state of existence is losing while claiming a moral victory.
