Donald Trump is not only running for president again, he might actually win.

If 2016 taught me anything it’s to not trust polls. Doesn’t matter how hard ahead Kamala is polling until your ballot is actually cast.

It also doesn’t help that you have the “Lemmy.ml” crowd calling you a fascist if you vote for Kamala, because in their twisted world having trump win is better eomehow

To your second point, it's because most of them hate the US and/or capitalism, and want to see it implode.

...Without realizing that the only things that are going to fill that power vacuum are worse.

Are there better countries than the US? Damn skippy there are. Do any of them have enough power to do anything if the US implodes? Absolutely not.
