Even when the votes are counted there will be recounts, court challenges, and possible Trump supporter uprisings.
It really depends, my feathered friend. Recounts, yes. Georgia has already said so. And Trump has a right to one in Wisconsin. And the court challenges will continue.
But any uprisings really depend on Trump right-wing media. We’ll see.

Right now when I think about Trump, I am reminded of that scene where Godzilla destroys Tokyo. Trump however lacks the ethos and restraint of Godzilla.

True, but he shares Godzilla’s inability to drink a glass of water with one hand.

We should all be grateful that things have been, on the whole, very calm. That is not to say that law enforcement should not be vigilant.
Daily Beast wrote:One of the armed men arrested while traveling to Philadelphia’s vote-counting center is a QAnon obsessive who posted violent, anti-Semitic comics online. The other is a President Trump super-fan who urged social media users to poll watch and suggested the 2020 election was being stolen from the president.
QAnon conspiracy theorist Antonio Lamotta, 61, was arrested Thursday with 42-year-old Joshua Macias, the co-founder of “Vets for Trump,” on federal firearms charges after authorities reportedly received a tip that a group was headed from Virginia to the Pennsylvania Convention Center, the site of the city’s ballot count, to “straighten things out.”
The pair drove from Virginia with pistols, an AR-15 rifle, and roughly 160 rounds of ammunition, according to Philadelphia police. They lacked valid Pennsylvania firearms permits to carry, and were charged with carrying a concealed firearm without a license, a third-degree felony, and carrying a firearm on public streets or public property, the District Attorney’s office said Friday. Both men, who are from Chesapeake, Virginia, were accompanied by a woman who was not charged with any crime.
The pair drove from Virginia with pistols, an AR-15 rifle, and roughly 160 rounds of ammunition. I know Philadelphia is a tough town, but that seems a little excessive for self-defense.

They were QAnon Trumpers who were reported as going to the balloting center to halt the counting through violence.

Does anyone think this thing will be called tomorrow or is it more likely to be Sunday, Monday, or even longer? Don't give me the math. Just give me an answer if you've got one.

He's also got that huge gut leading him wherever he goes.

Yeah... Trump supporters are stupid.

I just read this comment on the YouTube thread of a recent Lincoln Project video:
The only way Trump gets to 270 is by losing 30 lbs.
Awesome.
