"Dewey Beats Truman".

But these are not ordinary times and we haven't seen such bitterness since... Shit we haven't seen such bitterness and hatred. I suspect a LOT of people aren't being truthful to polltakers. With the attitudes out there, you could be risking a lot answering truthfully.

If almost half of the country is actually behind such a colossal failure as Trump, this country is doomed and no longer any decent place to live. I find that difficult to believe, though. The flag waving Trumpons are out there, but I think (hope?) their noise is far greater than their numbers or effectiveness. If they actually use those guns they love, however, all bets are off, and stunts like following the Biden bus are terrifying. I don't think that's ever happened before.

So, for the next two days I live in hope that there are secret Biden voters out there. Lots of them.
