Hi, all...I don't want to make a 'go out and vote' post.
But I do want to make a post letting people know that we need to be prepared for another "January 6th" that is possibly worse than the one we already had.
However, I just went on a run and just had my breakfast and there's a few other things I need to do, so I will be adding to this later.
I'll go ahead and start this now.
First off, I am not a political scientist or expert. You can take this prediction with a grain of salt. I can only go off of the vibes of a 30-something that has lived through a couple of elections in her short life:
I'm about 85% sure Kamala Harris is going to win. She has already gained a lot of momentum in her first week and has gained a lot of support from the grassroots and is likely to get more. That's a good sign. I wouldn't say this is on the same level as the enthusiasm that was surrounding Obama, but it's closer to that than Biden or Hillary Clinton's campaigns were.
Now, here's the bad news--Trump is planning on trying to cheat and he has a lot of support in the polling offices:
Now, here's the good news--There is a lot of Democrat leadership in these states, so if any of these officials try to interfere with election results, they are likely to receive push back and fail. I don't see a lot of these efforts gaining enough traction to reach the SCOTUS who would be very likely to rule in Trump's favor.
But here is the bad news--even if the efforts of these polling officials fail, they will succeed in riling people up with doubt about the election results, which makes another incident like what we saw in January 2021 *very* likely.
I just wanted to do my part, even if it's small, to make people aware of what might come. It's likely about to get very dangerous out there in November through January, especially if you are a person of one or more marginalization. Take the proper precautions to keep you and your loved ones safe. This is going to get messy.
