For example Trump wins and dies then pence runs twice and wins

    Trump survives until election day. Within 48 hours of the polls closing he makes multiple, transparent attempts to steal the election, toss out valid votes, and declare himself the winner. He dies in his sleep that night. Liberals rejoice, thinking they will have a fair election. A week after election day all the mail ins have been counted and it turns out Trump won anyway.

    Pence takes the presidency, names a fellow pasty white evangelical guy as his VP. Pence's presidency appeals to most Republicans, but the Trump/Q subsection hates him, and there's massive turmoil in the party. 2024 hits and the party is heavily split, and Tucker Carlson barely wins the nomination thanks to the Trump/Q crowd.

    Dems see all this and continue to triangulate with the 'never Trump' crowd, leading them to push forward a pasty white evangelical woman as their nominee. MSM does their spin and liberals convince themselves that this is a good candidate.

    The parties have become so convoluted at this point that the driving force for voters is whether nuclear war or a land war with China is better. Tucker "Nuke Them All" Carlson wins in 2024, but Xi presses the button before he's even sworn in. Aliens descend, dolphins rise ☢️🐬

      Under the premise that we live in the stupidest of all possible timelines -- a premise I've yet to find empirical evidence against -- this is the correct answer. All Hail our new dolphin overlords!

    Biden wins and spends his entire term trying to rehabilitate Republicans and sacrifices Medicare Medicaid, and Social Security under the the pretens of bipartisanship.

      If it's a tie, the house of reps votes for the president and the senate votes for the VP. So we could get a Biden Pence admin lmao

        Dank as that would be Trump would still win the house vote

        During a contingent election, each House state delegation casts one en bloc vote to determine the president, rather than a vote for each representative.

        (From the wikipedia entry for contingent election)

    Barron learns how to pilot an F-35 with an X-Box controller and then we actually have to give Ilhan a gundam in order to stop him.

      In the case of tie in the electoral college, the House gets to pick the president. It hasn't happened since 1836 tho.

          house gets to pick it

          they don't technically have to pick either candidate (they can choose literally anyone as long as that person is legally eligible to be president), though if that happened they would choose biden

            In the case of a contingent election, the house doesn’t do a simple majority vote. The delegation from each state chooses who wins their state’s vote. Currently republicans control 26 states, enough to give Trump his second term.

    I mean, if you wanna get really dark and not funny at all... Trump finds a way to go around FDA approvals for a COVID vaccine before the election. Only in a year or two we find out the vaccine is basically the modern equivalent of the thalidomide disaster. Just thousands and thousands of babies born with horrible birth defects.

    It's 2024, the democrats have evaporated after a do nothing Biden/Harris administration, which opted for tax credits on ventilators and means-tested water rationing west of the Mississippi. The battle for the White House exists between Republicans and the New Reich Coalition. Congresswoman Tomi Lahren, the new progressive voice of the left, tells people they need to grow up and vote for Matt Gaetz so Richard Spencer doesn't ruin this country.

    to paraphrase our boy biederman, everything stays exactly the same but also somehow gets slightly worse day by day. that's the only future we have to look forward to.
