Will we get 4 more years or a zombie apocalypse? The excitement grows!

Who cares it's the USA. Who would choose to go there to live. Who would choose to keep living there.

Their citizens seem to be having a merry time behaving like degenerates. Whoever wins I am sure their shenanigans will continue.

Australian media outlets seem to be indicating Biden stands a good chance of winning but nobody will know until the papers are counted and even then nothing is certain.

From a personal perspective I don't like the way Trump has been rolling the Islamists and the Israelis into one big ball. I don't like the christian prophecy one bit and I don't like it when anyone makes moves which could be any kind of precursor to armageddon. So I think I would prefer if Biden was elected. What can I do though. I'm just an Australian refugee in Europe.

As long as USA is one of the largest political agents in earth, everyone should care. It's also good entertainment if the big guy wins again!

Piece of trivia: if Trump loses, it would be first time incumbent president loses the re-election since 1980 when Jimmy Carter lost to Ronald Reagan.

Also the two parties have essentially been taking turns to have a president for two terms since 1992 election, this trend would also be broken.

At this point I am torn between which outcome will provide the best entertainment.
Trump supporters might just start burning cities to the ground if he loses

> president for two terms

If I read the Twenty-second Amendment right (on Wikipedia that is), Trump can try again if he loses.

If he loses ...
- He will not go without a fight. (Not sure what he can do, but he will try for sure. Any way he sees fit.)
- He will of course never admit he actually lost. (ie: maintaining his "the other side cheated/etc/etc/etc", conspecific theories)

If he wins ...
- He will probably try to get the Twenty-second Amendment changed/removed (at some point). And with the current supreme court setup, it seems he could be successful in that.
(with or without some bribing/blackmail support in the background. As he only cares about winning(applies to anything). And he don't cares about how.)

No. We have these wacky things called "jobs" that don't allow us to spend all hours of the night burning down stuff because we're angry.

George HW Bush lost as incumbent against Bill Clinton.....

I guess that's why major cities across the country are boarding up businesses
they are afraid all the upstanding trump supporting citizens will work so hard that their windows will explode via the force of wholesome hardworking gumption
