The headline is clickbait and does not accurately describe the content of the article.
I think we all expect another jan 6th insurrection but the percentages are way to close to show anything, it's probably within the margin of error.
A Nightmare on January 6th Part II 2025 Edition could go likely three ways.
January 6th: Harris wins in November and maggots "appeals" to SCOTUS to overturn Harris win or take away delegates are unsuccessful. Maggots attempt to storm the capital again. Maggot Congresspersons could cause violent coup internally in solidarity with maga insurrectionists leading to #3.
Or
January 6th: Harris wins but maggot election deniers successfully appeal to SCOTUS who either completely overturn a Harris win or take away swing states delegates she initially won due to "fraud" or "discrepancies" to make her below 270. Democrats attempt to storm the capital in protest while the gerrymandered GOP house unanimously votes for trump as president via contingency vote or while votes are counted for Trump after win is overturned. Democrat congresspersons may refuse to certify in protest which could also lead to #3.
Or
January 6th: Harris wins in November and maggots "appeals" to SCOTUS to overturn Harris win or take away delegates are unsuccessful. Maggot congresspersons refuse to certify votes which delays vote counting and certification. Constitutional crisis and or violent coup governmental civil war occurs internally. (Remember the first thing the GOP did when they took power was remove the metal detectors)
This could be said about the vast majority of content published online today. This is why I've been trying to minimize my internet usage. So little of it is genuine.
Yeah, and then you get all the people who go into the comment thread and start talking about all this shit which they ascertained by a headline.
Nobody has the patience to figure out the details anymore. By the time you figure it out and try to talk about it nobody cares anymore, the next headline dropped.
Yay the internet. I miss a lot of the pre-internet things.
