My son is also pretty concerned. Having lived through many elections its not as bad as it seems. Not as good as we would have liked but:
- Joe Biden is Probably going to win the Presidency
- Trump will contest the outcome
- My Personal opinion is that unless massive fraud is uncovered and publicized--he will lose that challenge
- Even if Joe croaks tommorow and Kamalalalalalala becomes president she must appoint a VP. Pelosi is unlikely to become her choice.
- Pelosi is 80
- Pelosi want to be Speaker
- VP is a figurehead with no power
- Republicans Likely Control the Senate
- There are rumblings of a leadership change among the Dems as they did not do as well as hoped
- It may or may not happen--but it is rare to see cracks

I'm not saying don't be mad. Let's use this anger and energy to start organizing and couter-protesting. Trump got the libs good and pissed off--A LOT more voted this time around. Want to win the next one? Keep that enthusiasm as "ORANGE MAN BAD" is Guaranteed to not be in the next election (even if trump wins, he can't run for a third term).
The Blue wave never materialized (again) in the suburbs--places like IL and NY got closer--yes they are still landslides--but while everyone is looking at GA, NC, TX, etc....look at some of the Blue States. They are closing as well. Things are always in motion
Keep the faith bros. Our left flank may have been defeated (Trump). Our right flank held (Senate). We hold the Middle (Supreme Court 6-3 on good day, 5-4 on a bad one). Now the idiots get to be in charge and we get two years of their bafoonory to drum up support to retake the house.
Be mad. Be pissed.
But stay active.
