I think we are already seeing it. Compare the number of Trump bashing threads versus the number of NotTrump bashing threads.
One of the two candidates is out there doubling down on calling his political opponents "the enemy from within" and that candidate's former chief of staff just went on the record to tell us about how he used to praise Hitler. What's surprising is that there aren't more threads bashing him.

Prediction. Trump brings and end to the war in Ukraine and the middle east and has the best economy since his last presidency and the left somehow gives biden credit
Prediction (if Trump wins): in his first week in office Trump will point to the stock market which will be about the same as it is now and call it the greatest stock market ever. He'll point to the first jobs report which will be about the same as it is now and brag about how many jobs he created. The economy will continue to improve at the same pace is been improving over the past two years, but within 6 months Trump and all of MAGA will be telling us Trump fixed everything, America is great again, and this is the best economy we've ever seen.

Bonus prediction: on election night Trump will declare victory. (I know, bold)

@Amber

We will protect our family from any liberal civil war that will be manufactured by Biden/Harris when they are clearly losing and declare Marshal Law as a result.
And after absolutely none of this happens... Will you then reevaluate your paranoia?

So this will be how democracy ends— with thunderous applause…

It's an objective calculation to count the number of times Trump says "enemy within" and the number of times Harris brings it up.

If Trump says it one time and Harris brings it up 1 million times, it's clear who is objectively deflecting from themselves.

Well, let's hope the news continues to concede the public concerns over food prices even if the candidates ignore it.

Great. Another reason  not to vote for Trump.

I like migrants better than people.

It's not deflection to point out to people something about your political opponent that if were the case with any other political candidate in our lifetimes would have ended their career instantly. Again, the only remarkable thing about all of this is that there are enough morons out there who don't find any of this troubling.

Violence on the left already happened, it's history, not a prediction.
If the right didn't have false equivalences they would have no arguments at all.

Well, let's hope the news continues to concede the public concerns over food prices even if the candidates ignore it.
Trump has no plan to fix food prices, please stop acting like you're the level headed enough to focus on what really matters.

No, under Trump, no one was homeless. Everyone was a billionaire. Homeless people can only exist in non-Trump presidents.

It's concerning that the number is increasing and things are getting worse for people. We should strive to make things better

Exactly. You claim he is a threat to democracy, yet your prediction has nothing to do with how this grave threat will manifest if he is elected.

Yes we should, so we shouldn't elect someone whose plan to bring down the cost of childcare is to levy tarrifs on every import that comes into the country.

Because it was an economic prediction, not a prediction regarding the state of our economy. You do know two things can be true at the same time, right?

Why shouldn't we protect American jobs and terrified slave labor products from China?

We should, which is why nearly every economist says Harris is the better candidate.

Nearly every government paid lobbyist and MSNBC paid. I absolutely agree they support whatever garbage Kamala promises. Along with 500 intelligence agencies and government experts on government economics.

Also, Janet Yellen once said the economy is great and we never had inflation.

Janet Yellen admitted in mid-2022 that she had underestimated the persistence of inflation, initially believing it was "transitory" and would ease as pandemic disruptions resolved. This assumption led her to support the substantial 2022 stimulus measures, including the American Rescue Plan, which many economists now believe overstimulated demand in an already constrained supply environment, contributing to prolonged broad inflation. Critics argue that by backing such aggressive spending, Yellen overlooked signals of a tightening labor market, reluctance to return to work while people had stimulus money, and supply chain constraints, which fueled inflation instead of the short-term spike she anticipated.

Many economic observers believe her misreading of inflation trends highlights a political stance that did not adequately account for the economic complexities post-pandemic. This miscalculation has led to scrutiny over her support for additional fiscal stimulus at a time when many experts in the private sector argued for more restraint.

I understand that but the economists happen to be wrong when they say we shouldn't protect American jobs. It's why it's a soft science and you see Keynesians disagreeing with the Chicago school disagreeing with the Austrians disagreeing with Marxist economists. 

These are the same reason that economists claimed Nafta was great and wouldn't destroy manufacturing and then we see a decline in American manufacturing. 

Tarries are a tool and they can be good or bad. For example when Chinese television makers sold at a loss to destroy every single American TV maker. 

It's a good thing. We shouldn't be competing with slave labor. It's bad enough that women demand why buy rings mined from slave labor and brag that their husband bought them a bigger ring. 

It's this "my slave is better than yours attitude"

I know that economists probably have their heart in the right place but slave labor is bad as is a good portion of child labor as is adult labor in really shitty conditions. If i have to pay 25% extra for an American TV and not have that guilt of contributing to slave labor than that is a good thing even if you have 10 million economists bragging that slave labor is good for the economy and that we shouldn't combat bullshit like that with strategically placed tarrifs. 

Hell some of us work I'm manufacturing and would also prefer to not be homeless as well.

So you're against Harris because she and Biden made prices go up, but also when process go up because of Trump it'll be a good thing and you'll be happy to pay it. Ok bro.

You're entitled to your opinion.
