A lament on US Politics

 Sorry but I am going all over the place on this.

If Trump wins then what will Democrats do? I suspect they will brazenly lie just like Trump and the republicans are doing now. If you think US elections are bad now just wait for that. The important thing to remember here is facts do not matter. People do not believe them!

Joe Scarborough is correct. This election will be a vote on whether lies are effective or not and thus whether voters have standards or not.

I know evangelical is a different term in the USA. It does not mean they read the bible nor that they regard the bible as God's word and nor do they go to church. Indeed it is another way to say you vote republican but I shall engage them anyway. God does not approve of lies. He hates lies. It isn't hard to read the bible to find this out. On the other hand Satan is the father of all liars. If Trump lies there is no tomorrow then it is pretty clear Trump is not doing God's work.  Lying about hurricane relief is just moral depravity full stop.

I read everywhere that polling underestimated Trump's vote in 2016 and 2020. I also read how voter's main concerns are economic. Hang on have we forgotten about 2022 where polling vastly overestimated the republican vote. Just remember inflation was far more worse then. Abortion was a major issue. It is this time around.

All surveys are within the margin of error and I suspect one person is in front for a comfortable victory but we cannot see this at present. Just think about this. A man who is a convicted criminal , who led a insurrection to ensure he illegally stayed in power and brazenly lies every day each day is neck and neck in the race!

I also wish to issue a mea culpa. I said previously once people saw how 'bad' Trump was at rallies his vote would slip. He is obviously in poor mental condition (euphemism) however it doesn't matter. It is just like his lies. Some people just don't care. Without wishing to invoke godwin's law republican voters are acting a lotl ike voters in Germany between the wars. They like dictators.( They actually approve of Putin more than Biden!)
