It's also strange that a losing republican almost never demands a recount.

A losing democrat almost always demands a recount, often several recounts, and with the exception of the Gore/Leibermann Sore Loserman 2000 campaign, the recount after recount after recount almost invariably results in enough boxes of ballots found in random car trunks and dusty storage rooms to flip the results.

It's as if the democrats crave power and the abuse of power above all else, and the republicans want all the benefits of power and the abuse of power, without the responsibility (as blame) for any of the abuses. In the political ecology the republicans only exist to ineffectually oppose the democrats and give the plebs the ability to convince themselves that someone in government is on their side so they don't revolt, but merely try to work within the system.

The deep state is nothing more than a game of good cop/bad cop wolves intent on slaughtering the flock one marginalized sheep at a time.

If there is anything to it at all, I think the concept of one side or the other never permanently losing by 20% keeps a lot of folks satisfied that there is hope. So they remain content that there is always a chance and things don’t get violent in the face of hopeless political and cultural despair.

But I don’t think there will ever be any sort of civil unrest while the present conditions persist.
