Sedona Az — Well, here we are. Finally. After all these months of listening to this and that, watching the candidates fight it out, attack each other, and try to convince us to vote for them, it’s almost over.
It’s been a ride, filled with memorable moments indelibly inscribed in our collective consciousness. Now, the question remains: Who will emerge victorious, Kamala or Trump?
There are issues, and then there are issues. But fear is the common denominator—fear and hate. According to Trump, there are dangerous immigrants lurking at every corner, ready to torture, rape and kill us. According to Kamala, Trump is a reincarnation of Adolf Hitler, poised to plunge the country and the world into war, fascism, and dictatorship.
Both sides—Trump’s supporters and Kamala’s supporters—are ready to battle each other. Which raises the question: What happens if the election results in a tie? It now seems more possible than ever.
If it ends up in court, we might be in limbo for a while before a winner is declared. And even if Kamala wins, will Trump’s supporters accept the result? Could we be looking at civil unrest?
Boiling it all down, many would argue that women’s rights will likely be the deciding factor in this election. Yes, the border crisis is a significant issue, and many Americans want asylum seekers and illegal immigrants sent back. But there’s little belief that either candidate can fix the economy. Trump’s threat to slap tariffs on imports could further harm the nation if he follows through.
Ultimately, women may decide this election. They are motivated to vote because it’s their bodies and rights on the line. And Trump, if elected, could easily reverse his stance, regardless of his promises to let states decide.
Further, he is perceived as a cad, a bully and misogynist by many women.
One thing is certain: Trump could never be a Hitler. Hitler had the blind support of his nation; Trump has only half. He lacks the mojo to win over those who despise him. Regardless of whatever he thinks himself to be.
So, with bated breath, we will sit in front of our TVs and devices, waiting to hear who the winner is on Tuesday.
It will be one hell of a night, for sure.

When Democrats lose they concede or seek legal determinations through the courts.
When MAGA criminals lose they use fake electors, ignorant unlawful or inhumane laws and other criminal means like making it illegal to give water to voters waiting in line to vote, assaults on state capitals the Federal Capitol Capitol and DC Police, incite insurrection and chaos, attempt to murder the VP House Speaker and any Congressional or Senate member they could find they disagreed with. They put razor blades and bags of suspected ricin on hate filled anti campaign signs, protest polling stations with armed unruly mobs of sycophantic MAGA members, threaten poll workers etc etc etc.
No way are these criminals going to be satisfied with another election loss for their failed failing failure candidate and will obviously resort to extreme violence in desperate attempts to retain a grip on the government candidates who will help them cleanse the nation of everything and everyone that is not wealthy and white. They have proven this in 2015, 2020 and every single day since their failed leader failed in 2020. They are the party of hate and fear who feel America is for them and them alone and all others must be removed and or silenced.
HATE is a powerful emotion. It blocks reason and logic. It turns a peaceful protesters into a lynch mob, Hate only produces more hate. This election cycle is the worst I have ever seen. Hate, character assassination, bold face lies and worst of all promoted and abated by the mainstream corporate media. So why do they do it?
People motivated by hate are easy to manipulate. First, dehumanize your target. Then demonize them. Whip the mob up to a frenzy and turn them loose. The KKK did it to African-Americans, Hitler did it to the Jews. Iran does it to America.
If you want to know if your being manipulated look to those who preach hate. They don’t want you to think or reason. They don’t want to debate. They want to manipulate you. It is pure propaganda, not facts or issues they are selling.
Like 60% of Americans I don’t like either candidate. So I will vote, ” none of the above” and sit this one out.
Oh mkJevess, I would say most would agree 100%. We just get reminded of January 6th, the perfict example!
You just detailed all of the reasons not to vote for Trump but nothing about Harris? And yet you say you can’t vote for either?
Being a Fascist and saying Fascist things is hateful! Calling out a Fascist for being a Fascist and spouting Fascist ideology is not hate! It’s honest and objectively Democratic and Patriotic (All the things America claims itself to be). There are thousands if not hundreds of thousands of examples of lies, conspiracy, cover up, corruption and inciting violence and hate on the Trump camp side. There are very few if any on the Harris side.
Russia, China, Iran and N Korea have succeeded in their pro Trump anti American anti Democracy propaganda campaigns especially if it has people like you not willing to vote for either candidate. Remember there are hundreds of former Republicans, Judges, General Officers, Intelligence Community Officials, State Department Officials and former Trump Administration members who have spoken out and voted against him. Gotta ask yourself why that is?
By this evening I would not be shocked if his Royal Majesty excepts his win before all votes are counted. Then in a few days it shows it isnt close. Then comes the whining, complaining and telling the world it was rigged. No Donny, you suck and people hate you! Your ignorance, insults, childish behavior, your lies, your criminal activity, racism, bigotry, you have spread like cancer for all to see! Bet you wish Rush Linbaugh was still around to help spread your fascist lies, and bigotry.
WS Dave well said! Unfortunately he still has Black Shirt Bannon, NOTsee Stephan Miller, Brain Wars Moron Alex Jones and hundreds of other Poverty, Democracy, Freedom, Human Rights , Science, Military &Veteran and Lawful Criminal Justice HATERs that spread his HATRED, LIES and CONSPIRACY THEORIES. He also has 6 corrupt SCOTUS Judges waiting in the wings to crown him King NOTHING even if he loses by millions of votes as he DID in 2020. Limbaugh was 100% human trash and he ultimately died a painful death from cancer. That’s Karma and Karma seems to be most effective in weeding out the bullies and DICKtators!
