A lunatic billionaire demanding democracy not to be validated... Who would have guessed, right?

I'd take that 'billionaire' with a grain of salt  But yeah.

Meanwhile in Georgia, the difference went down to only a little over a thousand...and by now even just 665. 

 

Also meanwhile, Trump keeps focussing on how insane it is to be losing his lead in states like Georgia and Pennsylvania. Coincidentally, the exact same thing (but the opposite way) happened in Ohio, also because of the order in which votes were counted, but Trumpists obviously don't even mention that.

At this point I would be extremely surprised with any other outcome than Biden 306 - Trump 232.

 

Pennsylvania and Nevada look done. Arizona and Georgia both seem to favour Biden, too. I don't think Trump will have any issues winning North Carolina or Alaska.

To be fair here... Imagine if Biden "won" the election and then Trump started getting votes in the days to follow. Riots for days.

 

Hell, there were massive riots even when Trump won it fair in the election night.

Trump losing solely thanks to the Deep South would be hilarious, though.

And Trump's lead is down to under 500 in Georgia. In Pennsylvania there's 160k mail ballots yet to be counted (of which a large majority most likely goes to Biden), with Trump having an 18k lead.

He lived by the upper Midwest in 2016 and he dies by the upper Midwest in 2020.

Oh absolutely, and that was as much bullshit as this is. Although one must say that Clinton - I believe - conceded fairly quickly and that was it from her side, whereas Trump is basically flailing left and right and spewing nonsense and just absolutely refusing to acknowledge anything. The potential unrest - which hopefully won't really happen - would be nearly literally incited by the president himself.

To be fair, he won't lose solely thanks to that, Georgia just happens to be one of the last states to be decided  

 

That's like saying Real Madrid lost the title because of a draw against Getafe in the last round or something, but in reality they'd have just lost the title because they didn't get enough points in the whole thing

And nitpicking about this is just like nitpicking people who say "I was reading some Twain." with "How can you read a person??".
