What are the scenarios awaiting polarized America when the last legal stage is complete, all Is are dotted and Ts crossed, and the winner is officially declared?
As uncertain as the odds of the presidential election outcome, one thing is clear: whoever becomes the winner, he is unlikely to alter long-running political divides within the country. Sure, America has faced worse divisions in the past and survived — at great cost — but with polarization set to deepen over time, the country could face paralyzing political sclerosis or even calls for secession, as argued by many observers.
Study after study after study suggests that the impact of political partisanship appears to be increasing and shows just how much our political identity today is a part of our views of a wide variety of other aspects of life, which often are not directly related to politics. Why is this concerning? In the long run, polarization and partisan conflicts lead to inaction, as ideologically rigid "my way or the highway" mentalities lower the probability of achieving the compromise that should be at the heart of legislative functioning (like the 2018–19 government shutdown or the standstill in COVID relief legislation). The partisan tensions between the federal and certain local governments showed themselves in full during the different approaches in handling national summer protests, when Democrat governments were eager to "destroy the village in order to save it" and continuously refused any help from Trump.
Another aspect is societal. As argued by Frank Newport, Ph. D. of Gallup, any functioning society needs to develop and maintain its social institutions, but partisans on both sides increasingly see institutions in the U.S. not as beneficial and necessary, but as part of an effort by the other side to gain advantage and to perpetuate its power.

Learning the enemy’s language affords all sorts of combat and intelligence benefits. To not learn is to give them another weapon to use against you, while you remain ignorant of their intentions
“You must learn to think in Russian”
As we go forward, we need to know how to break the propaganda.
On twitter, I add the message (2 + 2 = 5) on every news story that the Kamala Communist regime posts.
“politicians know that they can get away with doing whatever since they cannot lose an election anymore”
That’s perhaps the most profound comment made on this topic and something I’ve be screaming.
The polidiots will do as they please since we have no voice in the matter.
“You must learn to think in Russian”

I did for 4 years, thank you. And you?
“We’re done because no one seems to understan”
Actually, we DO understand it and have been saying so.
What we have been saying is that since no legal authority will uphold it then we no longer have a country.
“Learn Mandarin? Why? So you can understand the orders to march into a camp? I’d rather die fighting them off”
Exactly. Make the bastards learn our English!
“Time to get an AR15 and a thousand rounds of ammo.”
Good luck finding those. You can, but it is sketchy at best.
The Republican Party, the Alphabet News Agencies Agencies, the Democrat Party, a/k/a the Communists and Socialists, traitors to America, fools, parasites, idiots, the Courts both State and Federal, including as just was proven the Supreme Court all want President out of power. Only some of the people wish him to remain in power and serve out the term he was legally elected to. The afore mentioned either prefer a Communists Government or don't care as long as their desire for free dope, free sex, free housing, free money, and free medical when needed are met.
Kamala Harris: Once the reins of power touches her hands, her power as long as she obeys the orders of her masters, the Globalists, her power over the lives of her serfs will to total or 99% total. She hates President Trump, his supporters and voters specifically and White People generally. And as has been proven by the number of Black males she has prosecuted, she is not fond of Black males either. But if the Republican Party, the Democrat Party, the State Courts, the Federal Courts, the Supreme Court want her to have and exercise Power over the serfs[US] . Enjoy her!
If you understand that Federal elections take one day only, then bring the case! SCOTUS seldom over rules itself so give it a try.
If Biden wins then the CCP takes over our country and the rest of the world. All the usual suspects will finally be able to put their vaunted utopia-without-God into place.
Gung Hee Fat Choy!
If China marched us in to camps, who would buy their TVs?
I don't worry about China. If we're going to have communism, I'd rather China be running the place than Kamala Harris. At least in China, they shoot their corrupt politicians and business leaders.
Next horseman is War...
Bkmk
Yep. Like I said, He's got a habit of giving us what we deserve, not what we want.
While I am tempted to fall into despair about this country becoming Venezuela del Norte, there are important roadblocks beyond the Georgia Senate runoffs.
First of all, in spite of the Media/ Big Tech propaganda, about half the country, including many Democrats, thinks that the election was crooked. This would undermine the legitimacy of and limit the political capital of a Biden Administration. And, just like the Hunter Biden story, the news of the election corruption will get a lot more visibility later on.
And this gets me to the Game of Thrones kind of angle. The Democratic Party's factions are preparing for internal conflict for the throne. Biden (or his wife or whoever calls the shots) is going to put Swamp Creatures in the Cabinet. Kamala Harris and the radicals will want to push Biden aside. But what if Dr. Jill/Swamp Thing/WinnXi the Pooh don't want Biden pushed aside?
Gung Hee Fat Choy!

Lay off the General Tso’s Chicken! The neighbors are missing their cats.
Oh, they are already banning people on YouTube and Twitter for suggesting that the election is crooked in any way.
Got a link to that ruling? Thanks.
