Well, it appears Trump will win and that I was wrong and The 13 Keys to the White House were wrong for the first time since Lichtman started them in 1984 (well, 1982...the first election was 1984). I really thought a woman would beat a convicted felon who is one of the worst people on the planet. I am not one to normally be sad, but I am sad today. Sad for our country.
So, to you Trumpers, you can gloat. I was wrong. I ALWAYS admit when I was wrong. I am very surprised. The country is dumber than I thought it was, and I keep making that mistake. Maybe I have learned this lesson now.
Unlike what some others have said, I actually DON'T want Trump supporters to suffer under Trump's presidency. I hope he oversees 4 years of unparralleled prosperity, because I want the best for all Americans. I also hope that he is gone in 4 years and that we DO have another election in 2028 and not a dictatorship that gets passed down to his children. I think this is a real concern. I hope to be WRONG about that.
I DID say that one thing would be true...if Trump wins, it will be INTERESTING. I have no idea what is going to happen other than justice will not be served against him, and I expect chaos of some sort, but what exactly that will entail is beyond me.
I am a logical person, not an emotional one, so I have already moved all the way to acceptance with this result. Doesn't mean it doesn't seem nutso to me, but I accept that this is the will of the American people.
In closing, congrats to the victors here.
You are the antithesis of a logical person. Everything you said for the past 6 months about the election was filtered through emotion, not logic, critical thinking, or reason. You EMOTIONALLY wanted Biden (then Kamala) to win, therefore you put all your eggs in the 13 keys basket. Even when there was increasing amounts of data coming through every day and week that directly spoke to the 13 keys being flat wrong, you stuck your fingers in your ears, stuck your head in the sand, and yelled "LA LA LA LA I CAN'T HEAR YOU" to anyone who dared bring up hard data and statistics contradicting what you EMOTIONALLY wanted to hear.
Keep telling yourself that you are logical. Everything I've seen from you says the exact opposite.
