Those bad outcomes depend on how the Georgia Senate run-offs go. If McConnell is still majority leader, the stock market will probably continue to climb, as it did Wed-Friday in anticipation of gridlock. Republican Senate means no green new deal, no court packing, no tax increases, and no other socialist ballshut legislation.

You’re assuming that Romney plus other RINOs aren’t going to go along with the Communists. McConnell has his finger in the air looking for the direction he needs to go in order to retain his power.

Mr. Franklin, we failed to keep the Republic.

Not only am I assuming that, I think recently elected Democrats from Montana and other area probably/hopefully would get peeled off in opposition to stupid, job killing green new deal proposals.

Full disclosure -- I voted for President Trump twice. The following are some opinions, mixed with a little blatant hope.

The White House hasn't conceded yet, so I will. It's over. I'm glad it's over.

Biden's election outcome appears clearly, albeit not sweepingly/massively. I personally didn't want anything that appeared as a sweeping mandate, but I did want a clear result. So this is a good thing.

So far no serious protests and no violence, which is a good thing.

Politics aside, Trump losing is a check on Trump the individual, which I judge is probably a good thing.

This particular election appears as a check on socialist ballshut, which is a very good thing.

The House and Senate tightening is a recipe for gridlock, which is a good thing (my opinion, and the stock market's, too).

I would hope that Biden's single term and elder perspective might free him to be boldly bipartisan in his governing, which would be a good thing.

We'll see.
