With so many people against President Trump? Should voter turnout be at record levels? Would you be livid if Trump wins a second term?

Depends on who is running, largely.

Also depends on how successful voter suppression efforts will be, particularly in republican-led states with large black populations.

I’m pretty sure that the specter of Trump in the 2020 election will drive turnout like nothing since the days of Franklin Roosevelt.

People turn up to the polls to vote FOR something they believe strongly in, turnout will be bad if they’re told to show up just to vote against someone.

I’m thinking record turnouts.

Depends on how terrible the candidates chosen for us (by the mega-wealthy string-pullers of the two big parties that we pretend have something to do with the will of the people) are.

The dead will be rising from their graves to vote.

Trump is a very divisive character. He will be able to be able to draw a large crowd to vote for or against him. If the midterm elections are any indication, there will be a lot of people who oppose him.

Florida just re-instated the right to vote for most ex-felons, so I hope Florida has the highest turnout in history.
