Maybe. But the left seems to forget their very public freakout and even sexual objectification of Sarah Palin during her VP bid with McCain -- even as they brag about running a woman VP.
I'm still in the camp that Trump won't win this November. It's definitely not that I don't want him to, but more that the Democrats have such deathgrip control of all institutes of power that I can't see them losing. There isn't a doubt in my mind that they will openly exploit, cheat, and lie during the election in order to achieve the results they want.
Hell, they have every big tech company in their back pocket -- how could they fail?
You may as well ask the same of 2016 and that didn't pan out.
For me, I give Trump better odds even with fuckery.
What gets Gramps more afeared? The abstract fear of Donny getting a 2nd term or the realer fear of riots and marxists?
It's a tough conclusion to reach either way. I hate sounding like some doomer when I predict some shenanigans, but I think in 2016 it was more of a joke by people on the left; they legitimately thought he had no chance in hell. Fast-forward 4-years and I'm pretty sure this time they're taking it really serious -- them allowing riots, murders, and looting, as well as purposely attempting to tank the entire economy -- or even withholding support for the police in order to put the public in a state of fear -- elucidates their very clear intent this time around. Corruption and a "by any means necessary" mentality is now concomitant to their existence; at least until many more moderate liberals come out and openly admonish their methods.
But that's a whole different can of worms. Can moderate liberals really excoriate their own party members for their extremist views? Are they willing to do what is right, even if it costs their "team" an election? I've seen a few -- hell, I was even one myself up until 5 or 6-years-ago, but I'm not sure the rest are willing to call them out. At least, not in the way the right will openly condemn and denigrate the far-right.
2016 was a different time. Nobody in the cathedral genuinely thought Trump had a snowball's chance. All the polling was in Hill-dawg's favor. They didn't think they'd actually HAVE to resort to cheating and election fraud to win. The cathedral has learned, and they aren't going to leave it up to the people this time.
The 2018 midterms were a trial run in election stealing. Look up ballot harvesting (aka having Democrat agents delivering large chunks of ballots they "collected" from voters' homes).

Everyone (except you, apparently) knows that if you put a Democrat in the White House in November, the protests and the riots will stop. It is just known, just as it is known that putting a BLM or Antifa sign in your restaurant window will keep you from getting "mostly peacefully protested."
