Trump wins:

Chaos but low taxes, hunker down for another 4 years. Stagflation.

Result: I can retire early filthy rich from the rush to equities/crypto in light of hyperinflation as Trump seeks to buy a 3rd term. But I will need to hire private security. We'll be headed to Latin America standards of inequality and unrest.

Biden wins:

Some sense of Normalcy restored. Markets pump on stimulus. Higher taxes but higher social stability which means more robust economy long term as CEOs and activist investors stop panicking in the board room after each tweet.

Result: Higher taxes will mean i will sell equities/crypto
in smaller chunks, have to keep working another 10 years. But ironically will still have a job in part thanks to the increased consumer confidence from a Democratic administration.

Either way I win in some way.

This is why I don't care who wins.

Congress will be deadlocked on anything of actual importance in either scenario for all but the most essential bills required to prevent complete and total anarchy.

Lol, exactly.

I don't understand why Democrats think Joe Biden is going to "bring everyone together." The Democrats are the #1 source of division, hate, and politically motivated violence since 2016. They've spent four years calling everyone to the right of Trotsky white supremacists, racists, uneducated........

There will be no truce or reconciliation of MAGAs and LIBS because Joe Biden. And CERTAINLY not with Kamala Harris, LMAO

There's a lot of truth to your post, but I'm worried more about loss of civil rights under Biden than I am about the economic impact. The Dems are very open about suppressing free speech, being very anti 2nd Amendment, and manipulating the criminal justice system to further their agenda.

Hyperinflation? That would be Biden as the socialists start running the show and showering people with ever cheaper dollars. The only people who will think they are winning are people too stupid to grasp the concept of inflation and what it does to their paycheck and it's purchasing power.


With Trump, wages have been rising, and inflation has been modest. Beats what we had to endure under Obama when we were told everything was better than ever and losing was "the new normal". Remember how Obama made excuses, like telling people "those jobs aren't coming back"? We will get 10 times the excuses from Biden, as he totally **** everything up, just like Obama tried to warn everyone.

If Biden wins: The country sinks into Anarchy.... The pathetic Democrats continue to kiss up to the hate groups and drag everyone down with their nutcase views.

Yeah that's the other thing.

Thanks to Trump's slow action on lockdowns and poor leadership on mask compliance, the economy is crap and nobody is hiring like before

Why would they hire me at market rate when they could get someone unemployed on the cheap
