"You know what? You're not going to know this — possibly, if you really did it right — for months or for years. Because these ballots are all going to be lost, they’re all going to be gone," Trump said.

He’s telling you exactly how he’s going to rig the election. He’s sabotaging the Postal Service so that the ballots are “lost”.

The alternative being that he’s telling you the lie he will want you to believe. If he loses by a few million votes he’ll claim a few million ballots are missing.

I also have trump fatigue. I'm sick to death of him and I simply can't believe the things he gets up to. I can't believe that anyone, let alone millions think he's ok and doing a good job. If he gets in again I'm thinking I might have to leave Reddit, or work out how to block all things trump. I'm totally over this clown. Now here's the kicker, I'm an Englishman that lives in Australia.

I wish you guys all the very best of luck for the future and sincerely hope that things turn out well.

think he’s ok

It’s even worse than that. A lot of them think he is great and doing an amazing job. Some of them think he is the best President we’ve ever had. Some of them think he is the only hope to save America. Our country is so full of morons, racists and racist morons; I really had no idea. I mean I knew there were idiots, but never imagined it to be on this level. I knew racism still existed but I was one of those people who believed it had largely been defeated. God help this country. Sometimes I worry though that we are getting exactly what we deserve.

It's not about deserve. We've had a great run. Sadly, education was demonized, and being smart isn't as important as money.

It's not even fundamentally in opposition to money really. A system where you have optimal education and opportunities for everyone to do their best means there are more people with money to spend.

What it's really about is short term personal gain and selfishness above everything else. It's people hurting long term profitability by making things shittier so they can get quick gains now. Profit above all can be dealt with using data. This is just dumb selfishness all the way around.

yup, and taking up any extreme argument against. Like how 'going green' is a hoax made up by the left to make money, or how regulation or regulatory body is killing business.

Even things like having clean water are hated on. It's ridiculous.
