For some of us this is not unexpected at all. But the margin and the likely win of the popular vote should send a clear message.

Prediction markets had this a fair few hours ago, which is interesting.

There was a blip with the sweep though which is also interesting - https://polymarket.com/event/balance-of-power-2024-election?...

Discuss.

Love him or hate him, it will be fascinating to see if the democratic institutions of the United States can endure this. He has made it very clear he wants to dismantle as much as he can, including term limits.

Time will tell if the US really is the greatest democracy and can withstand a wannabe dictator, or if he really can subvert it all. It’s going to be a wild four years, and I fear more wall building.

You think congressional term limits would be a bad thing?
