    Lots of bad outcomes from those elections. I can’t remember the 1876 one though.

    This one promises us of a hitler aftermath, already talking about using the military to arrest his political enemies. hitler used chaos to frighten his cult and they ate it up. trump is using hitlers playbook

    You forgot the 2000 election where Bush II was installed by Republican Supreme Court justice Scalia.

    The kind of outcome Republicans crave.

    George Santayana, the guy who said the aphorism about repeating history, and I went to the same high school. He was there a few years ahead of me though.

    The Bush v Gore election in 2000 was no hayride!

    Under puppet Joe Biden we still had divider in chief Barack Obama, under laughing Kamala Harris we may still have the incompetence of puppet Joe Biden. Everything’s connected.

    Well, voters have never been accused of thoroughly analyzing facts. When they get it right, it’s as much luck as anything. The 40 years of prosperity from Fdr to Lbj was mostly possible because reds wrecked it so bad it took 2 generations to forget. The upside of a red sweep?…

    Maybe the AI overlords will solve the problem…

    Not too many people alive that would remember the election of 1912, let alone 1860 or 1876. Unless they’re mondern day history buffs and read about them.

    Come on, Scott. Nixon was a crook, it was a close election, but if he lost he wouldn’t have tried to stay in power using violence. And Dewey expected to win, but he accepted that he lost.

    Things go to pot when your age hits 2 digits.

    I got interested in politics when they shot Bobby dead, live on the nightly news.

    Don’t forget 1960, when Daley elected JFK by holding off Chicago’s returns until the rest of Illinois was in so that he knew how many people to dig up from the cemetery.

    The first “weird” election we had was in 1796 between Adams and Jefferson. Most have had their weird moments since. But NONE had a January 6 insurrection violating the peaceful transfer of power. Unprecedented for certain.
