Political analyst Mark Halperin warns. If Donald Trump defeats Vice President Kamala Harris on November 5th, there will be unstoppable madness among Trump opponents.
In a two-hour meeting with Tucker Carlson, Halperin predicted the biggest mental health crisis in U.S. history if President Trump moved Harris back to California.
Halperin predicted workplace fistfights and even parents throwing punches during their children's birthday parties.
Another prediction is that Trump will win a record share of the black male vote.
Crazy times are coming
Carlson asked the former ABC News political director how the Democratic Party would react to Trump's victory, saying that for the Democratic Party, “Trump becoming president again is the worst thing that could happen.”
“I don't say this lightly,” Halperin began.
I think that's going to cause the biggest mental health crisis in the history of this country. I think tens of millions of people will question their connection to their nation, their connection to the rest of humanity, and their connection to their vision of what the future will be for them and their children. I think that will require tremendous access to mental health professionals. I think it would be traumatic at work.
Halperin wasn't kidding when Carlson followed up.
Indeed, he continued, “I'm 100 percent serious.” Halperin predicted alcoholism and “broken marriages” because voters who hate Trump “think he's the worst person to be president.”
Leftists are outraged that the FBI found President Trump not guilty of Russian “collusion,” a lie fabricated by Hillary Clinton's campaign. Denying Joe Biden won in 2020. and about the largely peaceful protests that took place at the U.S. Capitol on January 6, 2020.
“I think the fact that America chose Donald Trump again under a fair election and according to pre-agreed rules will create the greatest mental health crisis in American history,” Halperin continued.
And I don't think it's a temporary thing that we'll be okay by Inauguration Day. I think it will be sustained, unprecedented, and frightening. And I don't think this country is ready for that.
Halperin predicted “violence,” including violent protests, “workplace fights,” and “fights at children's birthday parties.”
But anger won't be the driving force behind what Halperin believes will be a nationwide meltdown among Americans who hate President Trump.
immeasurable
“I think it's less about anger and more about not understanding how something like this could happen. You know, the death of a child, or…your wife is a lesbian and your best friend… “It's like announcing that I'm leaving,” Halperin said.
It's like something so traumatic that it's impossible for even the most mentally healthy person to truly process and integrate into daily life.
I hope I'm wrong. But I think that's what happens to tens of millions of people. Because they believe that their fellow citizens' support for Trump is a manifestation of the fundamental evil at the heart of their fellow citizens and their nation. They see it that way.
Halperin predicted that if Trump loses, anti-Harris voters will react negatively, but differently than Trump Derangement Syndrome sufferers.
“There will be all kinds of things” to make Trump supporters think something stinks:
After Trump spent millions of dollars trying to defeat Biden, replacing Lawfare with her instead of Biden, the media went all out. I think all of this will lead to public doubts about whether the election was fair. And I think it's just a matter of luck whether we get an outcome that's clear enough that people don't reflexively feel it's unfair.
He said governors in battleground states must be transparent about “any wrongdoing and its potential impact on the outcome.”
Halperin predicted that Republicans could take control of the Senate, saying, “People are not doing a good job of calculating the odds of having a Republican Senate, a Democratic House of Representatives, and a Democratic president.”
Everyone in MAGA and those who are dissatisfied with (Harris') victory say it's up to the Senate to put money into the Senate and make sure Harris doesn't turn this country into a far-left state. Probably. And that also applies to nominations. I think it will be very difficult for her to nominate someone acceptable to the left who will be confirmed by the Senate.
So Carlson turned to the ugly prospect of a post-election civil war.
“I don't deny that,” Halperin said, noting that “by definition, there will be a civil war in a certain governor's state.”
But governors must have “a great bipartisan plan to minimize this, to crack down on peaceful protests, to de-escalate, but not to trample on the First Amendment.” , he continued.
I think there is a possibility of violence no matter who wins. I think both are possible. The chances of that happening are minimal if the losing presidential candidate makes it clear he doesn't want that to happen, and the governor is wary of creating a plan that balances public safety and the First Amendment. I think it can be suppressed to Even though things like that happen, I'm not really worried about violence. If those things don't happen, I'm very concerned about it.
Black men support Trump, predicting battleground
But Halperin also believes Trump is likely to win the most black male votes of any Republican candidate.
Two black men appeared on Halperin's podcast and “explained very well why they support Trump and why they hate the Democratic Party.”
“If the anecdotes (evidence) are even remotely close to the truth, Trump will break the record for approval ratings among black men,” Halperin said.
That is, if the anecdote was close to the truth, he would destroy it. It's all over social media, all over my platforms, and all the stories I hear. …
When President Trump says that some young black men empathize with him and his parents because they are persecuted, the media claims that is racist. In my experience, that's exactly true. They understand the fact that the legal system unfairly pursues people. And if it can happen to Trump, it can happen to them. …
These young black men are saying the Democratic Party has nothing to offer me. Trump might have something to offer me, and he got criminal justice reform done.
Halperin said that of the seven battleground states, Harris has the best chance of winning in Nevada, but that Trump is unlikely to win there. Arizona is one of Trump's top seven states, and Trump is the favorite in Georgia. Sources told Halperin that Trump will win North Carolina.
Harris has an edge in Wisconsin, but has problems with black men and labor unions in Michigan. For Harris, “this is a must-win,” he said.
Trump has a “consistent lead” in Pennsylvania, and Democratic sources told Halperin that Trump is the favorite to win.
Halperin recently predicted that Harris could lose six of seven candidates.
