US Election Week 2020

[alfred russel]

I still think that a lot in GOP are waiting for a moment of weakness to denounce Trump and create a Clean Wehrmacht myth.  I think they're just waiting for Trump to be out of power, and have his popularity eroded.  I imagine that a lot of his supporters may stop debasing themselves once there is nothing to get out of that bargain.

Remember how 4 years ago Trump was inaugurated and the crowd was sparse, but Trump claimed it was record breaking and that was a controversy for some reason? (how naive we were) I bet if he got reelected it really would be record breaking, even with the pandemic. People really do love him; I have no idea why.

But in 2024, Trump will be 78 and have who knows how many legal problems. He might be even be dead. It is a long way off.

From the GOP perspective Trumpism (for lack of a better word) is good. Trumpism works.

It does and it solves a lot of problems they had.

My guess is that many Republicans are relieved that they no longer need to pretend. They can finally be openly anti-American.

[The Minsky Moment]

One of the bits of evidence submitted by the Trump campaign is that a poll-watcher saw members of the military vote for Biden, which they found suspicious

I feel like he might not have much of a case.

I am extremely disappointed in Trump's legal strategy.  I assumed that the case would quickly reach the Supreme Court.  Instead his legal strategy is almost invisible.

He has only one case that is properly postured to get to the Supreme Court and that one would not effect the results in any state.

He's going after the popular vote as well, because, why not

Well he always said there were 3.5 million fraudulent votes in 2016 and that he won the popular vote then too.

The Dominion is involved!

Obviously it's nonsense but I do wonder if anyone, during the development of this electronic voting software, asked if maybe they should use a less foreboding name than "Dominion"

It reminds me of the fact that the UK has, since the 60s, operated a military satellite network called Skynet and it consistently refuses to change the name because of - you know - the connotations. So every few years the Defence Secretary announces that they are launching a new version of Skynet and the internet loses its mind.

Is it worse than "DIEBOLD"?

Dominion, Diebold and Palantir meet up:

Our voting platform is called MAE (initials for "Electronically-Administered Voting Place") 

That's why we're no longer an empire.
