POTUS/General Election Thread 2020 + Aftermath

Whoa, this is the ethnically-ambiguous Lieutenant Governor of Pennsylvania with Brazilian wife. NGL they have a certain cinematic look.

I can believe it, the institutionalists in the military don't like seeing their allies abandoned, NATO undercut, and major training exercises stopped. I think the Enlisted continue to overwhelming support Trump and some of the Officers but I think most Officers oppose Trump. The military is inherently conservative so I could see many Enlisted and Officers voting for a third party before they'd ever vote for a Democrat. For the junior enlisted, this would probably be the first time voting and if they haven't done it before they may not know how to do an absentee ballot in their home state. There's also a lot of military members that extend their view of having an apolitical military to the extend that they don't vote as they don't think it their business.

Edit: I also wouldn't discount the effect of firing Mcmaster, Kelly, and Mattis. Mattis's book "Call Sign Chaos" is one I've had BDE Commander's and Heads of Staff recommend for reading on leadership. Not to mention Mattis is highly respected by the Marine Corps to almost "Chesty" Puller levels. McMasters's books are excellent for discussions of civil-military relations and roles in the US. The "Professional" core of the military takes leadership seriously and a man who says "I don't take responsibility at all" is much harder to get behind than even a controversial President like Truman whose ethos of "The Buck Stops Here" is far more respectable.

Well, some Republicans are surprised enough to see decisive active-duty support for Biden that they assert that it constitutes ipso facto evidence of voter fraud.



Voter fraud per their "234 pages containing 500 sworn affidavits alleging 11,000 incidents of various types of voter fraud" (which entails each affidavit embodying efficiency by describing dozens of incidents in just half a page each). Not the first time they've come with receipts of course:






Anyway, for reference here is the last known poll of active-duty troops (plus veterans) before the election.

Fake. I've never heard Trump laugh.
