The Election

Well, the people have spoken—and they didn’t mumble. They spoke loud and clear!

You can all see the voting results, so I want to talk about the future and what I think these results will lead to.

#1. Trump will get nervous, and we’ll see more efforts to undermine the election process. He’ll claim fraud with mail-in ballots, accuse undocumented immigrants of voting, and call for stricter voter ID laws. He’ll blame everything except the simple fact that voters just don’t like him anymore.

#2. The divide over the government shutdown will deepen. Republicans will dig in their heels and refuse to budge, while Democrats—emboldened by the votes—will also stand firm. I predict the shutdown will last past Thanksgiving.

#3. In Congress, the Republican bloc will start to falter as members realize their “cult leader” has lost his glitter, and the gold leaf is peeling off.

I also foresee more election tampering, gerrymandering, and new voting requirements aimed at minority voters. There will likely be more legal attacks on Democratic Party members, using grand juries to go after them. In short, I see the Republicans panicking.
