There’s definitely an undercurrent. No one at work with touch any election discussion with a hundred foot pole - let alone ten, but it’s in their eyes if you bring it up.
The mood on the street is a combination of defeated and enraged. It’s a powder keg just waiting for a spark. I have faith this will work out in the end, but I am concerned that one incident could start a cascade of all the anger people have held back over the past year of 2-tiered COVID treatments, allowed riots/harm to innocents, and the fraud that was 3 Nov.
I’m hoping nothing happens and it comes out the way I think it will with Trump victorious. I fully expect that when that occurs the left will immediately hit the streets, but think they will suddenly be met with force they’ve not had to deal with for quite some time. That reaction will be tamped down quickly. Then people start going to jail. I could be wrong - but it’s a gut feeling.
Defeated, enraged and incredulous. My impressions as well. I would never have believed such a massive coup could have been orchestrated so easily until now. A massive coup with no one of significance directly named and going to jail for it.
A criminal action with plenty of support in both parties! It’s not just those horrible, violent Dems making/ allowing this to happen. I know what goes up must eventually come down with every civilization, but I did not expect to be living in a Post-American America.
We are now on par with places like Argentina or Egypt.
Just to steady myself, I’ve gone back to reading books.
Biographies, Autobiographies and other light reading.
I get used books from online. Throw them in the trash when I’m done. It does me no good to stew about The Election 24/7. I have to let it go here and there.
At my company, it was stated in print by a very high up person:
“the country is divided...”.
This is indeed a very serious situation.
It may be a “gut feeling” on your part, but it sounds very plausible to me. I’m all for it.
