Right, there is very little chance the media gets this right.
So glad that I went to a school that didn’t have shit like this going on.

Somebody a couple of weeks ago said Democrats should be framing the election as “voting month” for October and “counting month” for November. As of this election, the idea that it must be, or even can be, decided on election night is a relic of the past.

I call bullshit on this one even though I don’t have any knowledge of the details. Göring drew his power from being the chief of police. While SS/SA units(brown shirts) were merged with regular police units the SS was controlled by Himmler. Himmler and Göring had a fierce rivalry. Both were constantly jockeying for position to become the number 2 in the Reich. Weakening the police was not in Göring’s interest. On the contrary he gave them carte blanche to shoot members of “organizations hostile to the (Nazi) state”.

Don’t worry. Bernie prepared us to wait for the final tally.
For sure. I mean, abolish the police kind of loses ethical merit when you replace them with Gestapo
Saw this a couple of months ago.
People rely on the ignorance of others to make this bullshit up. Unfortunately, people are stupid enough to share these things because confirming their worldview is more important than that view being right.
This is most certainly true. I have personally read prison files of social democrats and communists in „police jail“(Polizeigefängnis), in the spring of 1933.
This is also the next logical step in creating a dictatorship: putting possible opposition people in jail for a month for a very flimsy reason and telling them you will leave them alone, if they stop „acting out“ or otherwise you will just keep arresting them.

California just sent out flyers asking people to avoid voting in person at all costs, which of course matches up with what the Axios article was warning about.
its unfortunate because 40% or more of the country is going to think its rigged if he’s up on election night and loses later. And there will literally be no way of changing their minds.
which i guess would be no different than 2000, except trump has a lot of crazies that might do stupid shit

How is going to play out, CNN reports that Florida Man has won PA with 40% fewer total votes than 2016? I don’t think that happens. The more realistic nightmare is 2000 style counts/recounts going on for weeks in multiple states with all the trappings of hanging chads, court challenges and people storming counting locations.
You’re probably right with also having orange man tweeting for hours on end about how he won and it’s all fraudulent
What would Facebook have looked like during Florida recounts in 2000? Now imagine that across like 6-10 states with right wing Facebook like daily wire going ham with stories about fraudulent votes and shit while trump rages on Twitter
Even worse, in 2000 the candidates were willing to at least act in public like the system and process were legitimate and respect the outcome. Trump is already calling the election illegitimate. This will be an absolute nightmare of a scenario. I can’t honestly see how this could play out in a way that Trump loses and leaves office on his own volition. He won’t go, he has no incentive to leave and every incentive to stay, since he and many of his family and inner circle will likely face prosecution by a Dem-controlled DOJ and Congress.
This is one area where I’m less concerned than most on this board.
The actual counting of votes is done at the state and local level, with most critical states controlled by Democrats and only Florida controlled by full on deplorables.
Absent violence to prevent it (possible but unlikely), the votes will be counted. And once the results are certified and/or SCOTUS says Trump lost he will be removed by the Secret Service, if necessary.
