British Expats - 2020 Election

This rather chilling article suggests our polling is still not where it needs to be. Apparently an interview with the only people who got 2016 right (and who think Trump will win again).

â€˜People Are Going To Be Shockedâ€™: Return of the â€˜Shyâ€™ Trump Voter?

It's going to be a close election most likely. What people see in Trump I have no clue. My hope if he does win is that both the house and senate go Democratic to keep him in check.

Looks like building owners in Seattle are taking precautions for Tuesday.

They're gorgeous MP, thanks :) I hope the borders opening makes your life a bit easier.

Stand by with kitten pictures for next week. I may need a hefty number to get through the week and beyond.

I've got 6 week old cocker spaniel puppies at the moment, would that help? Although frankly if Trump wins next week I may be too gin sozzled to take a photo in focus anywayâ€¦â€¦â€¦â€¦..

I can hardly believe that building owners and owners of retail stores have either upped their insurance policies or have taken out new ones in case of 'public disturbance' following the election.

Am I living in the United States or some banana republic in South America?

The current political situation and the increasing threat of violence from some groups of the citizenry is extremely disturbing .......

Oh there's still room to go down. Dive 1. Millions of people voted for Trump. Dive 2. Civil society crumbles over four years. Dive 3. Millions of people vote for Trump again, even after living through all the damage he's done.
