Im more impressed than terrified. Choosing a guy who cheated on his wife instead of decrimanalised marijuana AND better healthcare. How???

You write 'criminal prosecutor' really strangely.
The national identity of being Canadian over the last while has been every four years wondering if the downstairs neighbors are going to decide to restart up the meth lab they keep tinkering with and bracing for the sounds of domestic violence to resume.
gives side eye in indigenous Glass houses bro
You've described exactly how I feel. And of course, the shit down south is affecting us up here, we have our own lunatic conservatives like Doug Ford, Milhouse and Bernier who aspire to be like the GOP.
Did someone at the Tim Hortons hear that hoo?
Yeah its one thing if youre a trump supporter because then you are just a sheep but i actually dont understand whats going on in the head if those who have to think about the decision
His IQ is equal to his amount of felonies
So far. He may become a genius over the next year
That's being rather generous...
I’m just hoping this comment ages like milk as his convictions pile up with his other trials.
I'm really hoping Harris wins, and we can make politics boring again. I know that if Trump wins, we'll hear about all the insanity he will put in place for the next four years.
Sure, if he loses, Trump will cry foul, but that doesn't have the same legs as it would if he wins.
I just want Trump to be some washed out TV "celebrity" and politics to be as entertaining as it always is: not very.
I'm not American and all I hear about right now is American politics. Y'all need to figure your shit out.
You are out of your mind, my friend and so far removed from reality. What insanity are you even referring to? America needs rehabilitation, and we're not getting that with Harris, who has presented herself as utterly clueless in just about all her media interactions. It's absolutely bonkers how the seemingly majority of people here on Lemmy can't see this. Yikes! Glad to see the blue wall coming down as I type this.
If Trump loses, that dissolves the Trump cult and the next Trump that comes along will just be compared to Trump
I wouldn't count on that. These are cultists who are ready to deify Trump and start sending people to the camps. I don't think losing an election will change the fundamental cult dynamic, or the hatred and anger that has been organized within the cult. We are stuck with this bullshit probably for the rest of our lives, one way or the other.
Trump is not the problem. Trump is the symptom. The problem is a somewhat powerful minority faction in the US actively pushing to dismantle our democracy. Project 2025 wasn't written by Trump and didn't write itself.
Harris' win is step 1. We then need to push to shore up our democracy and prevent a more cunning trump replacement.
Plus he's proven that having a cult of personality works, and caused a notable shift in the US Republican party.
For all we know, that might be a permanent change, rather than a temporary one.
I'm just hoping that there's no one with his "charisma." Thankfully everyone else scummy enough to be in the GOP is a wet rag in comparison to him so far. He may be a piece of shit, but a con man "confidence man" he most definitely is.
Watch the movie "Bad Faith". It lays it all out.
Tl;Dr: It's pretty much entirely the fault of Evangelicals.

Americans are watching this too and wondering what the fuck is wrong with our fellow Americans. This should not even be close.
I'm really hoping that it isn't close and that the polls were lying "just to make it interesting"
