Either way half the country will be disappointed

We'll see. We need someone like Reagan. I don't think he was a great President, in the end, but he at least had some ability to make the case for limited government and conservative values - without utterly offending people.
Not all liberals are idiots. Some of them know that the woke crap has run its course, that the we-know-betterism is no way to lead. And they'll listen.

It can't happen soon enough. Anyone know what happens if Trump croaks before being sworn in?

Then Vance would be the next POTUS.

Speaker of the House takes over only if both the president & his/her vp are unable to serve

Right and if the prior regime is voted out and the new regime isn’t sworn in, then who serves? Speaker?
Well, if no one is sworn in yet, I assume Biden would still be the nominal President, and they'd swear in Vance instead. But I've never read anything that addressed that circumstance.

It’s not the disappointed ones you need to worry about. It’s the truly pissed if one’s. The disgruntled ones who think the election was stolen or that someone cheated or something like that. Those are the ones (on both sides) to watch out for.

My worry is that NYC will descend into Chaos Tuesday Night/Wednesday morning.
It's certainly possible. All bets are off on this election.

My real worry is they will be coherent enough to find the "red" areas of the outer boroughs and target them, as opposed to just destroying more well known areas like Tompkins Square park and other open spaces.

Open your fucking EYES, people. If KH wins, no Republican will win for at least a generation! If KH wins, she and her fellow travelers in Congress will create a "path to citizenship" for the thirty million or so people currently in the country illegally, and by 2028, enough of them will be voting in Swing States to result in Democrat landslides for as far as the eye can see.
I suspect the Lefties on this board and elsewhere are aware of the stakes; if you are not aware, you are a fool. Every other "issue" in this race pales in comparison to immigration and naturalization.

The topic of this thread is really important, in my view. I think it's the number one problem facing our country. We no longer even try to govern from consensus. The name of the game now is to get a "win", however you can, and slam your agenda home.
"Elections have consequences" ? <- Fuck that. An election victory shouldn't mean revenge time for the winner, but that's the way our "two-parties" roll.

JD Vance is a player. He's set himself up to be the 2028 Republican nominee no matter what else happens.
Now that he's proven himself to be the darling of the far right, expect him to swing to the center once he gets the nomination.
