Like the title of the post says, we’re allegedly in the home stretch before the most consequential presidential election in US history. But no one seems to be seriously campaigning or focusing on it. Virtually no ads (compared to previous years), the Democrats seem to not be campaigning, nor is the GOP (apart from a few Trump rallies), the media seems to not really care, and there are only preliminary discussions on possibly holding debates or town halls. It really seems, based on everyone’s actions, that they all know that there won’t be an election this year. Or at least a conventional one. On top of that they’re so busy with other things that they can’t even be bothered to go through the motions of pretending to care about campaigning for an election.
Just wondering what you guys are thinking about this.
They KNOW that the market is going to crash, there's going to be a scare event and there probably won't be a regular election, esp if Trump is in the can.
Right now it's definitely feeling like the proverbial calm before the storm. We're getting little indications that the dollar and the markets are going to crash nearly every day now - Plus you've got the GME situation that can't really be resolved without all hell breaking loose.
Imagine "fire sale" - complete chaos because the market crashed, nobody knows what end is up, Trump is in the can, and there's some scare event - probably nuclear - and the power goes out (muh bitcoin wallet) - and all coms down for 10 days of darnkess...Are you ready? - Should the lights go out?
It's certainly possible...
