in our cities. \u00a0 Tide pod and other dangerous and idiotic challenges sweep across social media.\u00a0 Freaking &#8220;13 Reasons Why&#8221; on television.\u00a0 Blue whale on the internet.\u00a0 FFS.\u00a0 MTV broke the nation&#8217;s ability to concentrate and facebook, twitter, tiktok, et al broke the ability to think of consequences past 5 minutes of cut rate fame.<\/p>\n<p>The biased media reports on the crooked count and people line up in the streets to celebrate.\u00a0 Which, BTW, apparently means hounding people out of their homes&#8230;\u00a0 It&#8217;s been only a few days.\u00a0 The conditioning to expect instant and omniscient results has worked.\u00a0 The mob acts like they think Trump will leave tomorrow and their new king will be crowned on Tuesday.<\/p>\n<p>The left is already calling for &#8216;accountability&#8217; and tracking of Trump supporters.\u00a0 I feel like I&#8217;m suddenly in the USSR.\u00a0 I know what an &#8220;accountability file&#8221; means when the far right uses it.\u00a0 I&#8217;m pretty sure it means the same to the left.\u00a0 And what it means in practice is imprisonment, impoverishment, and extra judicial killings.\u00a0 Every single time.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m going to go out on a limb and say that we have until February at the latest before the shooting starts in earnest.* \u00a0 It&#8217;ll be kooks at first, or victims of the mob, but\u00a0 singletons.\u00a0 Then it&#8217;ll be sneaky but still basically suicide with no real hope of getting away with it.\u00a0 THEN it&#8217;ll go pro.\u00a0\u00a0 I REALLY hope I&#8217;m wrong.\u00a0 I really hope there are people on their side to calm the murderous masses.\u00a0 I really hope the people on our side decide to live and fight another day.\u00a0 I guess that will depend on how bad it gets, and how quickly.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ll also bet that they are calling for Trump to resign and &#8216;make way&#8217; before the end of the coming week.\u00a0\u00a0 They&#8217;ll want to keep the momentum up before the law can catch up with the cheating.\u00a0 They might use mobs in the street and threat of violence so Trump can resign to &#8216;calm passions&#8217;
