Last post of mine here before I take a break and focus energy into more productive pursuits. So I am obviously not happy about how things turned out, but I do see two good things resulting from last night's election.
First, that it was a Trump win by a comfortable margin means that we aren't going to have a January 6th repeat unless the left wants to do their best MAGA impersonation. I would be surprised if they do. That means there's some time before anything big happens.
Second, there will be no more hypotheticals to be afraid of. The house is still in the air, but Trump's movement is looking set to hold all branches of the federal government. That means they will have very little impediment to getting whatever they want done, done. This means there will be no more illusions. If they start using project 2025 as their governance punch list, it will be apparent and real for a lot of people who ultimately wound up viewing it as a hypothetical vs real danger.
Beyond that, there's not much else to say. Change is undoubtedly coming, but maybe it's not as bad as we envisioned. Maybe some of it is good. Either way, I wish everyone peace and safety across the turbulence that will be coming.
