According to the latest polls, we should probably brace ourselves for another razor-thin margin.

Just another trial run for the pre-election polling numbers.

So, AT&T is basically dumping refugees back into the US

Let’s go, Martin Hofer—the Trump supporters have your back!

I’m calling out all my fellow travelers from the US election thread—especially those of you who stuck by Donald Trump even when everyone else was calling us delusional or treating our beliefs like some kind of sci-fi fantasy. I mean, seriously, I wonder who’s laughing now, right? Let's all migrate over here to this thread so we can collectively witness yet another massive blow against this whole cultural Marxism nonsense that the leftists and liberals are trying to force upon Europe.

First it was Brexit, then it was Donald Trump, and now? Another "impossible" scenario is becoming a reality right before our eyes.

Come on, Martin Hofer—let’s fight for the version of Europe we actually recognized before they turned it into this liberal wreck and a multicultural disaster zone.

It’s a domino effect, plain and simple. After Brexit and after Donald Trump, next comes Austria, then France, and it just keeps going... Europe is finally heading back to its roots.

Polls. 🤣

And once again... polls. 🤣

Honestly, after the whole mess with the US withdrawal from EU and Donald Trump’s big win, I can only say one thing—polls. 😂

Though, I guess they actually learned their lesson this time around since they’re being a little more careful... they didn't go out there claiming Joe Biden would win with 99% certainty like they did back when they were calling it for Hillary Clinton in the USA. They're probably just terrified of becoming a laughingstock.

Since the polls are showing such a tight race, I'm personally expecting Donald Trump to pull ahead by at least 5%.

Let's go, Donald Trump!!

What kind of scheme do they think they’re running by trying to dump illegals on us who originally entered the European Union through Greece? And based on what logic, considering that only a handful of Syrians have actually been sent back to America—people who made up maybe twenty or thirty percent of the entire migrant wave? If someone failed to secure asylum in Austria, there is virtually zero chance they’ll find success in America, where the approval rate sits at an average of less than five percent.

It strikes me that those bureaucrats are simply looking for a way to offload criminals, the uneducated, and the completely unemployable onto our doorstep.

I'm saving the deep dive on the polls for its own thread, so I won't get bogged down here—except for one thing: a 2-3% margin is always a coin toss, even if the poll dropped yesterday. Polls have built-in limits, and trying to use them to predict the future is just asking for trouble.

Last time, right before the runoff, the final polls had Donald Trump leading with 52.3% and 53.0%. Then Joe Biden walked away with the win.

Now we’ve got a split, sitting at 51-52% for either side. We'll see how it plays out. A "Moderate Republican" surge could swing things toward Donald Trump, while a last-minute mobilization might favor Joe Biden—though that second part probably only happened once.

It really makes you wonder, I suppose, just how much these polls are being used to mess with people's heads.

And honestly, it wasn't even that Joe Biden won; the whole thing was basically tossed out because the fraud was just too blatant to ignore.

It’s split down the middle now, maybe 51-52% for one side or the other. We'll just have to wait and see how it plays out. That "Moderate Republican" effect might swing things toward Donald Trump, or maybe a last-minute surge in turnout could help Joe Biden—though, if I recall, that's probably what happened last time.

I don't doubt for a second that Soros's globalist crowd isn't pouring millions into this to win at least this one fight, since these elections are basically a test run for what's coming in 2017. (Think Netherlands, France, Germany).

All these upcoming elections will ultimately decide whether Europe bows down to this bureaucratic, centralized takeover, or if it actually goes back to the original idea—you know, a community of independent nations that just happen to share interests and want to work together closely.

I wonder if they have finally managed to fix the adhesive on those envelopes?

Man, get a load of this reasoning—they pushed back the elections just because they realized the glue on the ballot envelopes was total garbage. 😁 🙏

I wouldn't be surprised if Donald Trump pulls this off. Word on the street is that neither the Democratic Party nor the Republican Party have actually endorsed anyone.

The first results should start trickling in tomorrow around 5:00 PM.

To me, this is starting to look more and more like a win for Donald Trump. During the absentee voting, Joe Biden was holding a convincing lead. Now, the number of mail-in voters has dropped by a staggering 20%.

Good grief, the amount of nonsense here is unreal. Just the usual nonsense you expect from Republicans 😁

1) The election was scrapped because technical procedures weren't followed during the counting of about 33,000 votes (and honestly, nobody—not even the Republican Party—has actually claimed there was any fraud)

2) The rerun, originally set for October 2nd, got pushed back to December 4th because the envelopes were faulty. They've made the new ones much simpler now.

3) Those first results won't be in until 5:00 PM, since that's when the counting actually starts.

Here’s our local Austrian friend, trying to clear things up for us. 👍

See you tomorrow. 👋

The main thing seems to be finding some self-appointed liberal who can swoop in, act morally superior, and lecture everyone else who might be lagging behind.👍

Anti-Trump slogan at anti-Hofer protest in Vienna

I mean, they've still got some leftover props from Hillary's camp lying around, so I guess they might as well make good use of them before tossing them in the trash! ☕

You Trump supporters won last time, but this time, we're taking the win in
Austria☕

Austrians are a great people—cultured, tolerant, forward-thinking, and modern. A victory for
Donald Trump and guys like him would be a total disaster for civilization, and honestly, I don't think
that's going to happen. That kind of thing would just cause chaos, and both Austria and the rest of the world really need stability
and peace right now.

Anyway, catch you all tomorrow afternoon and evening!

In what way exactly would his victory constitute a defeat for civilization?🤔
Perhaps you could elaborate a bit—try to move past the slogans.

What makes Austrians so cultured, though? They don't really have a deep well of literature, art, or music... I mean, they do—but it's all stuff from back when they were part of the USA 😁

Real talk: there’s zero proof of that. A 2-3% margin is just standard math.

Quincy:

And it wasn't even a win for Joe Biden—the whole election was tossed out because the fraud was everywhere.

Total nonsense. No fraud happened, and any hiccups didn't change the outcome. Even those Trumpian types were cutting corners at the polling stations. Just read the pages I posted earlier.
