I assume they'll the Republicans will then refund everyone every single cent they've put in, right? Right?

Unfortunately, in the US, demonizing groups of people works. It gets voters to the polls. In 2028, it will just be the next group in line. It never ends.

Yeah, so if you add the 12 percent to 19 percent, that's 31 percent overall among the two parties in play for the presidency. If you count independents, it's a little lower. Still a disturbingly high number.

Looks like it's about one third if you add Democrats to that number. Unfortunately.

Except, maybe, if Switzerland gives him a speeding ticket. They punish based on the individual's income and wealth.

Bit different when Elon Musk does it, he should know better.

Unfortunately, conspiracy theories attract voters. As long as these theories benefit the people in power, they'll keep spewing them even when they know they are wrong.

Worth noting that the French law only deals with food waste from supermarkets as far as I know. Not households or agriculture. It's a great start, though.

Unemployment. Like many others, I keep an emergency fund with high yield that can keep food on the table for the fam while looking for a new job. Replenish as soon as I get a new job.

Democrats (72%) are much more likely than independents (35%) or Republicans (7%) to view themselves as “better off.”

So, it's basically all political. I bet if exactly the same economic scenario played out over the past four years,but with Trump as the president, the numbers would be reversed with 72 percent of Republicans and 7 percent of Democrats viewing themselves as better off.

People forget very quickly. Just look at what's happening in Germany and Austria and the Netherlands and France and Italy. It's like everyone's ignoring history.

After everything that has happened, I find it unreal that the orange actually has a 50-50 chance of getting reelected. There's something seriously wrong with this country.

Also a very interesting run style.

There is one candidate who is a lot more serious than the other. Maybe not serious enough, but still more serious.

Maybe care because it's one of the largest voter groups in the Republican Party and 80 percent of them vote Trump?

I wonder how many will vote for conservative candidates who do not care about the climate crisis or choose not to vote. My guess is quite a few. Unfortunately.

Yeah, everyone has their own interpretation of the Constitution these days. They'll "uphold" whatever version of the Constitution their own interpretation allows.

Hope you're right

Hmm. On my phone, the link just opens the article in a browser.

This is a series of articles dealing with each of the four likely election outcomes and their possible consequences. The other three articles have also been posted here.
