2024 kamala wins, ten different jan 6-like events occur around country
2025 kamala does "inflation reduction act 2" much like the first one it has little effect on inflation
2026 trump dies and inspires a red wave
2027 the Dems begin mass deportations to prove their bipartisanship
2028 the republicans shatter into three factions - QAnon, Peter Thiel acolytes, and the returning Bush era style Republicans lead by Liz Cheney - and because of this fail to unite behind a single candidate, allowing Kamala to cruise to a second term with only 40% of the vote
2029 there is a military coup lead by QAnon true believers in the Air Force. it is poorly coordinated and understaffed - but it doesn't get crushed either, instead becoming a frozen conflict by the end of the year
2030 China lands on the moon. SpaceX is now diverting the entire American space budget into Starlink launches. Elon says we'll be on Mars by 2035.
2031 the "QAnon coup" has expanded and is now threatening multiple governor's houses. In the Northeast it is crushed by the intelligence establishment, in Texas it becomes legitimized as several of its leaders are invited into the Abbot administration, and in California a weeklong siege of the State House is broken when Gavin Newsom personally talks to some tank commanders and convinces them to defect.
2032 It is clear by now that Kamala has no actual power internally, and externally US dollar hegemony finally collapses. Various state governors begin to question publicly the point of having a federal government in the first place.
2033 Eric Trump becomes president. He initially signals to the intelligence establishment that he wants to help them reunite the country - but he is in fact only interested in stripping out the copper wiring as the federal government undergoes its final collapse.
2034 Newsom and Abbot secretly divide up the country into two blocs and to seal the deal announce that US citizens in their states will no longer have to pay federal income tax. The collapse of the tax system that follows marks the final dissolution of the federal government.
2035 China's moon base demonstrates Lunar hydroponics farming and ISRU to create the first self-sufficient presence on another celestial body. Elon Musk has been put in charge of Texas' space program, and promises a Mars landing by 2040.
2036 Neither the United American States nor the American United States take responsibility for paying the old USA's federal debt, and everyone with treasury bonds is left holding the bag. In hindsight, it's exactly how America was always destined to end - like a Ponzi scheme.
this was a very funny read, thank you
doesn't seem terribly far-fetched
Joe Biden/Jimmy Carter Ticket will win and they will have their revenge against Trump, Kamala and Obamna. Dark James rises.
Republicans start torching obvious Republican districts and voting locations because Trump only won by 20% in that area.
Who is this character? I see them everywhere here in China. For reference I am old and out of touch.
It's Hatsune Miku, the mascot character for the Vocaloid software of the same name. She's also a virtual pop star, kinda like Gorillaz.
She also endorsed the official hexbear app back when we had that and we didn't go full isolation mode.
I found a YouTube link in your comment. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:
I think it's Hatsune Miku. I only know how they look, and they're maybe a fake popstar figure? Like proto-vtuber type shit from early or mid 2000's?
It is. The image also contains 初音ミク just to erase all doubt. She's a 17-year-old vocaloid software and still holds concerts to this day.
Republicans barely take it in a dubious 2000 Florida style situation while the Democrats go full ballistic on lawsuits against the Green party because they got like 3% of the vote in a different, irrelevant, state.
To be fair, it was supposed to be wild takes. An actually realistic version of 269-269 looks like this:

This would be the most hilarious outcome possible that’s within the realm of reasonable. Dems finally achieve the decades-long pipe dream of turning Texas blue, but lose the rest of the Southwest and key rust belt states resulting in an electoral college win for Trump. Harris, of course, wins the popular vote by an even bigger margin than in 2000 or 2016.
Technically the Republicans would succeed in turning Texas blue because so many will switch parties after becoming fed up with the administration
Widespread violence erupts over alleged fraud and voter intimidation.
becomes interim president in exile while 
topples Kamala and takes power back to reign as president for life.Six months later he dies.
I also think the Lib Dems are going to do better than expected.
Stein wins New Hampshire for no reason, Trump wins the popular vote loses the electoral college, the supreme court declares the college unconstitutional and hands Trump the presidency
No matter the result, I will have to stare into the eyes of all my neighbors with the knowledge that they voted for genocide and hold back my bile and venom for their cowardice and try to build a better world with these satanic compradors.
If it's any consolation, Kamala finally acknowledged what's going on in Gaza and
dropped (mostly)reduced the israel defending itself framing at her rally in MI yesterday to state in no uncertain terms that she would put an end to palestinian suffering. Still too little too late for me to take her very seriously but the pressure appears to be working even with the libs doing everything they can to suppress it.she would put an end to palestinian suffering.
to be fair, Netanyahu also wants to end Palestinian suffering (permanently!) – it is the manner and speed with which it is ended that is at issue
did she describe the manner and speed with which she would end their suffering?
She spoke of a diplomatic solution but yeah by all means, skip to 39 minutes in and judge for yourself.
well, I skipped to 39:00 and made it to about 41:00.
that's the same shit everyone has been saying for decades. idk what else to say about it. it's surprising to me that you hear anything but empty platitudes in those two minutes.
what circumstances do you expect to be changed by her election? she's already in the White House, democrats are at the helm of this genocide, and they say if we vote for them even harder this time, they pinky promise to work really hard to figure something out – but why is that? what will change once they win again? why do you believe them?
All I'm saying is it's a positive change from what she's been saying. Up to now she hasn't even acknowledged the Palestinian side of it. I'm not for her and I'm not voting for her, I'm just slightly less disgusted by her. She was perfectly content before to tell arab voters to go fuck themselves and completely avoid the subject.
The reason I shared the video itself was to not overstate the change here.
There have been numerous opportunities for a diplomatic solution and the entity has vaporized all the negotiators.

more meaningless rhetoric with no actual policy is not a consolation
Oh absolutely, only time will tell if she takes actual action and I have all the doubts in the world especially as long as Biden is in charge. This should have come months sooner, not two days before the election.
All that said, it's a notable change in rhetoric and it's a positive one which would have never happened if they weren't losing votes over it, if Trump weren't also trying to outflank her with anti-war/pro-arab rhetoric in Michigan. I'm choosing to lean optimistic that my liberal friends and family who vote for her are just stupid and ideologically self-defeating, not evil, and there's enough of us against the genocide that it's a real threat to their power.
Harris wins, Trump get shot, as a show of unity and reconcilation she invites Vance as her VP. Next election he runs as a Democrat with Richard Spencer as VP.
