    I still have $2000 to bet on Trump. Are you still so weak as a man that you won't take the bet? Yes you are, without a doubt

    I'm reminded of my middle school history project in which I argued every member of the confederate military from the lowliest private up to Robert E Lee was guilty of treason and subject to capital punishment. But the USA was "nice". Perhaps that was a mistake.

    Maybe a good intellectual argument but impractical. The nation ended up healing well. We aren’t North vs South anymore but Rural vs Urban.

    Why would anyone bet on an election outcome? I think I’m 50% getting the candidate I want over the years.

    Not mad. I bet the cash on Trump. I'll make $462K if all my bets pay off. No way I make less than $400K if Michigan goes Trump.

    I can relate to being around a lot of MAGA as well as traditional GOP. I wonder how much this skews our perspectives about the election odds. I will note, though, that there was a group of Harris supporters out yesterday in my conservative area that was larger than I remember seeing for Democrats in the past.

    I’m curious how you decide to draw the lines. Every state has pockets of blue and pockets of red, making a geographic split impossible. If you go by historic blue vs red states, the red states will have a very difficult time supporting themselves given the vast amount of finance comes from Blue. Defense will be problematic for the Red states, because the majority of significant ports are Blue-controlled, and the money to finance the infrastructure will be lacking.

    What’s the plan to make Trumptopia?

    Yeah, we’re not splitting up. But I am afraid the divisions will get wider and nastier
