Whew.

IT'S A GIANT PLOT INVOLVING DEAD HUGO CHAVEZ AND MILLIONS OF FRAUDULENT VOTES BEING CAST. THEY ARE JUST SO CLEVER AND INTELLIGENT AND INGENIUS THAT EVEN THOUGH MILLIONS OF FRAUDLENT VOTES ARE INVOLVED IN AN INTERNATIONAL GLOBALIST CONSPIRACY WITH THOUSANDS OF PLAYERS, THERE JUST HAPPENS TO BE ABSOLUTELY NO EVIDENCE WHATSOEVER THAT WILL ACTUALLY STAND UP IN A COURT OF LAW! ahem . . .

For some strange reason, *shrugs,* the above did not work on the American people . . . this time. (Though it definitely worked with an alarming number of Republicans). With Michigan certified in glorious anticlimax, Pennsylvania essentially a done deal, and that insane person at the GSA finally convinced . . . outrageously, and despicably two weeks late . . . to do the *only* part of her job that matters . . . Election 2020 is finally over.** This has been true since the Tulsa Rally, but from here on out it's all fizzles, and no bangs.

We are stuck with right wing terrorism regardless. That was always going to be the case. I worry that some of it may have metastasized into something a little more "organized." A lot of disparate far-right connections have been made over the last few years. They are mostly dumb, but there are always one or two who may have some smarts, and savvy. If they find a communicator who can half-way seem "reasonable" to more suburban or even urban voters, and less like a guy who's on meth, we'll be right back where we started, and the lower brush has been cleared for a more successful coup or autogolpe.

But THIS roller coaster is sliding in to the station, for now, folks. The Transition of power will begin in earnest, the Trumpies will slowly dissolve out of the White House, and an imperfect, but earnest, and competent administration will take over, with the biggest mess any President has inherited at LEAST since the Depression. If nothing else, Biden has experience and contacts. Maybe he IS that guy for the Moment.

At the very least, we can rest assured that . . hey! (checks date) in less than two months, we will not be worried about what the sitting President of the United States is tweeting.
