Well these results seem to only demonstrate that the slide into the abyss is only being arrested instead of reversed, disappointing if the Senate stays red. As for Trump. I would sort of fall on Wolfblade's side on this. I feel the GoP might be done with Trump now, but the primary voters might hold enough loyalty for him once Don Jr or Ivanka show up to once again go for a messy takeover. The cult will not see this as a fair loss, so it might not get the traditional loser stench on the Trump brand. The GoP hated Trump and Trumpism in 2016 too. The senate looks like it'll be 48-52, fascist's favor sadly.

I’m so disappointed with you America. Even if Biden wins, at this point with the level of support Trump has, you should hang your head in shame.

Yeah, with such a big turnout you would have hoped for better. Now turtle will just block and obstruct as much as possible again. And then idiots can pretend Dems didn't accomplish things and vote for Reps next time around.

For a few blissful moments after waking up this morning, I had forgotten there was an election yesterday. After I got in the shower, I remembered, and then it was pretty depressing wondering what happened until I got out and looked it up.
Anyway, on the way to work, I heard on the radio that Trump is already talking about going to the Supreme Court to end the election in his favor?
*Sigh*

PA, MI, and WS still have over a million legally cast ballots to count (each). If Biden's mail ballot lead holds in PA (he's winning it 70-30) he will win the state. Georgie still has several hundred thousand. There's no way he can stop those counts, though he could fiddle with how many ballots are still in question.
PA is the big question. If Biden gets PA he wins. If he loses PA he needs Michigan and one of either Georgia or NC. Otherwise Trump wins.

Fox news is now casting Michigan as a likely Biden win. The senate race there might go another way, potentially neutralizing Democratic gains in the upper house.
As mail ballots in PA are counted, Biden has gained a whooping 200,000 votes to a meager 15,000 for Trump. If these rates continue, the consolation prize of ending Trump's administration will be achieved.
Nevada has significantly tightened and could flip though, but if Biden wins WI, MI, and PA it's over.
EDIT: I think Biden has it, barely. Unless something shakes up the races in the final leg, Biden looks set to win WI, MI, and NV. That would put him at 270. Even if Trump wins PA, NC, and Georgia, he'd only have 264. Somehow that makes me so fucking sad.

lol
So, Trump's campaign is saying any call that Biden won Arizona is just plain wrong. I'm not sure what leads them to believe that. Biden is up by 93k and there's only 30k votes left to be counted. Even if Trump wins every single one, he won't get the state.

At this point Trump's Twitter feed is basically just Twitter disclaimers. "Fucking magic of counting votes is making me lose, fraud!"

You're a braver man than I to actually go and look at Trump's Twitter.

He complained that Covid numbers wouldn't be so high if we just stopped testing people, so this latest War on Counting is on brand for him.

AP gives Wisconsin win to Biden. Pennsylvania is inching slowly closer to a tie as remaining votes are counted. Cautiously starting to feel like Biden could actually clinch it. Shame on the current state of US politics that it even had to come this close, it seems this will just get worse in the years to come of so many people still went for Trump after 4 years of the shitshow.

Saw a joke that The Count from Sesame Street now requires protection from angry Trump supporters. Gave me a bit of a chuckle. What to expect from people who believe feelings overrule science/facts.

Trump campaign is now suing to immediately end the vote count in Pennsylvania, so they feel they will lose there if all votes get counted.
