Really, what the hell is going on in Alaska? What reason is there not to call Alaska given how quickly some networks called Arizona? Nobody seriously believes Alaska could flip to Biden.

Trump is winning Alaska, so you can't call that. Also Fox News still hasn't uncalled Arizona.

I'll definitely agree Trump is a lot better than he was described as in the media, which completely went into meltdown lunacy mode, but this wasn't unique to the media. I have lots of relatives of the Democratic and Republican persuasion, and of the ones who hated Trump, they were completely insanely over the top and would literally melt down and start frothing at the mouth and even LITERALLY crying if you so much as suggested he wasn't literally Hitler. I used to troll them just by comparing him favorably to Dubya and pointing out he at least wasn't a neocon, he wasn't in China's back pocket, and other actually good points about him but I gave up after it literally fucking traumatized them. It is literally insane how over the top the hatred of him was and is.

I work in Canada, at a software development company, it's crazy how even up here the TDS is so bad. I try to so much as hint that Trump isn't Hitler to people in the office, when they're going on one of their rants, and the tone of their voice and their body language becomes so aggressive, I feel like I'm suddenly an enemy to them. I haven't even said anything that would mark me as a Trump support, because I kind of detour into the flimsy "I just think all politicians are the same" angle to kind of salvage my work life, that's how insane these otherwise normal people get when his name is brought up.
I've learned to just keep to myself at work for the rest of the year, and if Trump manages to pull off a victory in the end, I'm going to be internally smug while everybody in my office is REE-ing about it.

Maximum salt result is still possible if GA and AZ end up flipped.


This is why I don't buy the idea these people just voted Biden. True TDS fags are already calling for the complete destruction of the Republican party, with 'no survivors' like the bitch from WaPo.

Ultra maximum salt would be that, but NE-2 faithless elector votes Trump.

What's a SCIF

Sensitive Compartmented Information Facility

Essentially its a windowless office space where we in the military talk about secret squirrel shit sometimes. Other times its to talk shit about someone's mom, or talk about the weekend, baseball/football, dinosaurs.

It gets boring is what I'm saying.

At the presidential level, I can assume that its all business all the time.

Yes lets get the Military involved in a political situation. That never turns ugly

So you want Trump as a dictator? I mean that in the traditional meaning of that word.

I mean, you're not wrong, but it could still be the least-worst option. Is civil war that much worse than shitty oppressive banana republic?
 
When I read about these stories regarding Trump conceding, I can't help but remember this from 2016 after the pussy tapes:
“I’d never withdraw. I’ve never withdrawn in my life,” Trump told The Washington Post in a phone call from his home in Trump Tower in New York. “No, I’m not quitting this race. I have tremendous support.”

“Everyone said, ‘It’s over, it’s over.’ The people didn’t say that, but the reporters said that,” Trump said. When asked to explain his ability in the past to survive, Trump said it’s because “I’m change.”

And this is why they're always utterly shocked when he somehow gets a bunch of votes. People vote for him, but there's something akin to the "shy Tory syndrome" where people know the infantile children who irrationally hate him beyond belief will completely melt down at the slightest suggestion he isn't literally Satan incarnate.

I don't know maybe?. It would seem yes because of the powers he wielded.

That's a good point, and of course definitions are refined and made by those who win wars and survive rather than a constant, objective standard. To us who are living in the consequently Unified states, he's not considered to have been a dictator for the extraordinary powers he exercised to win during the war, though I'm sure there's a cogent argument that could be made that he behaved as such.

North had almost all the industry and navy, though.

Additionally the pre-war US army was only 16,000 men and was very insignificant. Both sides had to raise their armies more or less from scratch, and the North, who had most of the people and industry, had the major edge. It was a foregone conclusion.

China has most of our industry and the navy nowadays is full of fags. Times have changed.

I love the idea some people think that sailors weren't engaging in bumsex in the 19th century. "Rum, sodomy and the lash" was a saying.
