Playing out exactly the way I thought that it would. Polls consistently underestimated Trump’s support in 2016 and 2020, and they did so again.

It seems too soon to call NC and Georgia! Lots left to count.

I agree. DDHQ is the only one that has called NC

Trump will not win either Virginia or Georgia! It's very early right now! Be patient!

Yup. It’s all over. Goodbye democracy.

The biggest losers were those who actually paid for analysis. Florida a tossup? Does the construct of the Blue Wall make any sense? Popular vote debate? The 13 keys? NC, GA, AZ, PA, MI, & WI? Look at the narrow margins in NJ from 2020 to 2024.

From Italian Consulate.

Dear Applicant,

Please be informed your Visa was issued. You may collect your Passport with Visa M-T-T-F 9:00-12:30, without appointment.

Problem solved. Yes, run away. You can't fix stupid.

I don't believe the Italian consulate issues visas in the middle of the evening. To be helpful, I think you need a "permesso di soggiorno" so you can stay longer than 90 days. Ciao.

The media lives on fear. Feed them with your doubts.

Why is dark money and self funded campaigns not a huge issue?

I'm predicting a 312-226 Trump win in the electoral college. Same map as 2016 except with Nevada flipped. I also think he will win the popular vote.

America hates women more than America loves America. Wild.

Perhaps a tad simplistic. Reminder: 52% of registered voters are women.

Self hate is a real thing. It’s a product of the patriarchy

We have learned a lot about how to treat PTSD. It seems clear that you are dealing with that combined with some real heartbreak. I hope you can find a way to deal with it all. Anger won’t be the answer.

Blaming women by accusing them of self hate..maybe you are the patriarchy?

America doesn't hate women. That's nonsense. If this election doesn't go the way that we want it to go, it's because Democrats are seen - fairly or not - as non-Christian. That in a country where 68% of the people identify as Christian. But it's still early. Perhaps the blue wall will hold one more time.

Trump is the most non-Christian candidate the Republicans have nominated…ever?

But tell me more about how a country that my doesn’t think enough of women to grant them bodily autonomy doesn’t actually hate them.

Certainly most Christians see Trump as a flawed human being. But they also see him supporting and defending the cultural and religious values that they care about.

Simply because someone believes that a human fetus (three months?) is a human being doesn't mean that they hate women. Lots of woman are pro-life. Many Christians see the debate as a difficult, nuanced argument between a woman's right to bodily autonomy and the child's right to life. They choose life, fully understanding how difficult it is for a woman to bear an unwanted child.

I'm not a religious person so maybe I'm not doing a good job of explaining this, but that is my understanding of the position.
