It’s a big day for the USA. Today our American friends vote for their next President and many people around the world are saying that this is the most important election in history. Well, I am not sure about that personally but even Blind Freddy can see that it is certainly one of the most Divisive in history. Some polls are saying that as many as 75% of Americans are expecting some form of violence after the election and people are even talking about the possibility of civil war or secession.
Regardless of the result of the election there are going to be a lot of unhappy people in the coming days. That part is unavoidable, but its how we handle that as peoples that I think IS really important.

The Silver Gold Stackers Community on HIVE is full of really great people who like to support each other. We have members from all over the world, from different backgrounds with different beliefs and ideas. Some of them (like me) might seem a bit wacky from time to time, but we are generally Apolitical as a community and very tolerant of peoples different beliefs even if we don’t agree with them. It is one of the reasons why I think SGS is so awesome. We are genuinely diverse, but we do also have a lot of brothers and sisters in the USA who might be having a tough time with how things are playing out.
So this post was just a little message to let our great American friends know that we are thinking of them and wishing you all the best for the coming days. The USA is such a great country, nobody here wants to see things get violent and I sincerely hope that it won’t. I also wanted to remind our fellow members here at SGS to please be respectful of each other. A lot of us like to go off on a rant from time to time and it’s good to get things off the chest...
However, sometimes it’s hard to know when people are going through a rough time and there are going to be a lot of people upset with the election result – whichever way it goes. Let’s be mindful of that and remember that what makes SGS great is our bond here between people and we need to make sure we don’t let divisive politics get between us.
It's been pretty gripping, ngl. I'd like to see Trump win, and I think he will.
Kamala has endorsements from some big names in entertainment, but they're not offering to do anything.
Trump has Elon, RFK Jr and Ron Paul all pitching in; so anyone who really likes any of them, is going to want to see them in positions of influence. Elon in particular will be pivotal. Some on the right are nervous about things like Neuralink, but not enough to vote for Harris.
On the Left though, I can see some environmentalists blaming Biden for blowing up the Nord Stream pipeline, and supporting Elon for the electric cars.
Javier Milei's political and subsequent economic success in Argentina, and Nayib Bukele's transformational leadership in El Salvador will no doubt inspire many to prioritise freedom over equality/equity. Of course Trump might just be talking the talk, but there's precedent now.
Hard to know from a distance and no doubt in my own filter bubble, but it's been fun to watch and speculate.
I will be watching it closely. I do like some of the people who have lined up with Trump (add Tulsi Gabbard - an important anti-war voice), I'm just not convinced that these people will have as much influence AFTER the election if Trump wins.
You’re a day early. 😉 Tomorrow. Tomorrow is when the shit hits the fan.

It's already Tuesday the 5th over here in Australia. I'm about to go out for Melbourne Cup too, so I might be a bit too dusty to write this any later.
Oh snap! Melbourne Cup! I hope you have the cutest fascinator for the event. 😉
I appreciate the sentiments, yes SGS has always been apolitical and it really does help keep the peace. The air feels heavy over here, like we're just hours away from pandemonium. Both sides are convinced the other will destroy the country, but it's based on caricatures and propaganda and mass media. Turn it all off and we may have a chance here.
Indeed. Some of the rhetoric around this election is pretty horrific. I hope things settle down soon.
I think we are fucked either way. But guess we’ll find out really late today.
I do tend to agree. It's a bit of a shit sandwich either way...just choose your flavor.
No doubt.
I don't know about that Apolitical part. I feel like a lot of people here on Hive lean the same way. The tolerant part I get though. Despite me leaning the other way, they haven't kicked me out yet!
I support the other side...
What's the other side? Canada?
Our politics here are so gross. I just tell folks I support the other team. Whatever team that is.
Thank you for your well wishes! I pray for our dear America!

According to the DNC and the GOP, every election is the most important in history, lol.
I personally feel, they don't have a good choice, and have to select less evil.
Of course today was a very special day for the people living in America and after some time the decision will be made and we all pray that Trump wins the election because of this the situation in America is looking better.
Today is a very exciting day in the world, a big bounce in cryptos and currencies. Investors are eyeing the election results. Apart from this, the outline of the next 5 years depends on the presidential election.
One thing I dislike of Trump is the divisive influence he wields. America has never been this divided in it's history ( well, except during the civil war, of course, and matters arising from slave trade etc). Maybe we're about to witness a repeat, but God forbid. Though I'm not American, I would want peace to reign supreme. May the best candidate win and God bless the USA.
