I don't think July 4 is secure at all.

July 4 marks the celebration of the declaration of independence.

As you well know that declaration says: "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.".

This is no longer what the US stands for.

The declaration of independence is dead.

This is based on what exactly? Your dislike of trump? Whose rights are being taken?the fact of the matter is over 70 million people who actually live here seem to think the very opposite of what you said, and TBH that's all that really matters.

I've identified as a leftist for pretty much my entire life. Yet, over the past 5 years or so, I've felt gradually nudged toward the center, and today I find myself closer to the right than to the left. Perhaps it's a mix of the left changing radically and me becoming more conservative with age.

I hold a PhD in history and I'm European. Still, when I turned on the TV this morning, I caught myself hoping Trump would win. The me of five years ago would barely recognize, let alone agree with, the person I am today. And I blame the left for that shift.
This is the major issue that the left is facing worldwide. They have lost the working class and to an extent some socialist values, in their actions (especially in America) they moved so far left on things that they come of as authoritarian and the right then in response becomes somewhat more liberal in its discourse. It's all very bizzarre. The left is seen as the establishment, which is the complete opposite of what it was at least here in Australia as little as 15 years ago.

They spent too much time trying to appease a minority and alienated a lot of people. No one even talks of policy anymore (U.S) and it's all focused on identity politics which turns people away that don't agree. Not to mention a loud minority that will then label people if they don't completely agree with all of it. The right has become a safer space to express opinions which is insane to think about.

They also lazily rely on ticking boxes for canditates where if you can see through it you realise that it's just lazy and hard to identify with.

I am also a left voter, in Aus it is a bit different as it's not as much about the cult of personality that the US is.

Gonna buy up as many tech stocks as possible, get rich off the capital gains and chill somewhere in a tropical country while I laugh at these dumb motherfuckers while they become jobless and can’t afford to pay the bills. It’s gonna be hilarious when all the jobs get replaced by AI or outsourced.

The liberal party of Australia is center-right lol
The Liberal Party here in Sweden (their literal party name is liberals), mid level party, is in a right wing coalition that formed a government with a neo nazi party to get its majority to govern.

Well well well

another prediction nailed before the majority of polls closed.

My contracts don’t pay out until after inauguration however

I knew you had the juice still.


But you were helped along the way to get your sure prediction for this doomsday scenario.


Because @Badass J Elkann predicted the opposite of you, by litterally betting 2000 pounds that Harris would win.
