TRUMP MIGHT WIN, anything is possible, although it appears likely that with two weeks remaining in the election and Biden well ahead in the polls, he will lose. In a more perfect world, his seriously misguided, immoral supporters would, after his loss, renounce their support of him en masse, and ask for forgiveness and for the privilege of reentering the realm of the sane and decent. Instead, they will probably spend the next four years belittling Joe Biden instead of giving him a fair chance, spewing their usual hateful racist prevaricating rhetoric, and running around wild in the woods, shooting off their assault rifles and their foul mouths, clinging to their Bibles and confederate flags. Conservative Christian Trump supporters seem to like to spread disease, physical and mental, in church and at MAGA rallies and they seem to enjoy organizing themselves into terrorist groups, which they misleadingly call "patriot militias". One such conservative christian group, supported and encouraged by Trump, was planning to kidnap, try, convict, and execute the governor of Michigan, but were thwarted by the FBI, to the probable chagrin of Trump, who despises the FBI but seems to love right wing terrorist groups. In response, Trump traveled to Michigan and essentially encourage the terrorists to keep trying. Stay tuned. Speaking of Trump rallies, can you imagine how horrible the epidemic will be this winter? Probably not. By Inauguration Day, the death toll in the U.S. could approach half a million and president Trump will likely be bragging about this wildly successful effort to "turn the corner" on the virus. One might hope that he will be doing this while boycotting Biden's inauguration, but that's another matter. If Trump loses the election, look out for the great prevaricator and his gang of supporters. Unconversant with honor and civility, unwilling to even consider better option,they will doubtless raise holy hell, and insist that the election results were rigged by their mythical deep state, the very real Democrats, the mythical liberal media, and the very real Chinese.For weeks Trump has been laying the groundwork for vociferously contesting the election, even if he loses it lopsidedly, incessantly undermining the electoral process by spewing lies about it, claiming falsely that it it rife with fraud, which it most certainly is not. Honorably conceding defeat and congratulating the winner, the proper behavior, is beyond the capabilities of Trump and his reprobate supporters, precisely because it is proper behavior. In a more perfect world, these people would quietly fade away, noever to be seen nor heard again. But don't count on it.
