There will be a lot of fallout from the elections as people reposition for the changes.  I&#8217;m astonished how quickly the right has gone down the &#8220;we lost because we are teh sux&#8221; road.   I guess after not being believed about the rampant cheating last time, no one wants to go there again&#8230; and there was cheating.   LOTS of it.  It was just slick and well managed this time.  It will come out.  Just like last time.  Even the dem winners in essentially uncontested places don&#8217;t make sense if real people are actually voting.<\/p>\n<p>My response is the same as always.  Prepare for bad times, and if they don&#8217;t come, celebrate.<\/p>\n<p>Stack.  It&#8217;s gonna get worse.  Lots worse.
