The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

Who's "we all"?
Trump voters who had watched the returns and were following the ballot counts state by state. One can look at the ballots counted, see who was ahead, then deduce what percentage of the remaining ballots Candidate X would need to catch up.

So in a close election, what does the right do? Meekly accept that Trump has lost a close race? Or insist that he really won and that it was stolen from him again? Does the right refrain from its own rioting only if Harris wins a blowout popular vote by five points or more?

I gave you a scenario where the right might riot already. If the outcome is perceived as fair and the count accurate, the right will accept it; any perceived glitches will amplify the distrust.

The left riots in any Trump-winning scenario.

Question for you:

If Trump wins, do Congressional democrats attempt to invoke the 14th Amendment and overturn the election? Before you dismiss the scenario you might want to look up what Rep. Raskin has been saying.
