“Strength is the lot of but a few privileged men; but austere perseverance, harsh and continuous, may be employed by the smallest of us and rarely fails of its purpose, for its silent power grows irresistibly greater with time.” Goethe
Well, there's always been hate. But politicians weaponized our beliefs so that we'd fight each other, so that A) we wouldn't pay attention to them, and B) they could hold on to power.
And when I say "politicians" I mean Republicans.
So, after getting called about by The Trump Boys, several Republicans, including Graham and Cruz, started beating Trump's "illegitimate votes" drum.
If defeated (and it's looking more and more likely) will Trump be able to keep these enabling GOPers in line? I can certainly see them quaking in fear of Trump Tweeting away from Mar-a-Lago and mobilizing hordes from within their own states against them.
Alternatively, do guys like Cruz, and Graham think that Trump is done, and that they can pick up his base?
That will all change very quickly once the results are finalized. It's starting to look like a blue wipeout.
They will only beat the drum to incorporate his supporters on their side.
Mitch McConnell is probably already ordering the moving truck, and quietly preparing to pack Trump's suitcase out the door.
The real face of right wing populism reveals itself in defeat. Steve Bannon banned from twitter for advocating the beheading of Dr. Anthony Fauci.

This isn't a dictatorship Steve, it's Dr. Fauci's job to relay the sceince of COVID to the general public.
Dr. Fauci should be given a medal of honour for upholding empirical science in light of a President who is detached from reality, and was going to drag the United States through Jonestown if he got re-elected. You and your followers are paranoid nutters!
Donald was cracking badly last month with his upping things on Stimulus talks and putting McConnell and company in a risky spot. In fact as it was McConnell who would come out and go , we never said we'd do all this ! He was growing frustrated with Trump being well....Donald Trump. He likely is telling people , we can talk to Joe Biden. We can at least talk and work possibly.

It would be nice if the progressive Democrats won any real power, because they might go after Trump. But a guy like Biden--I wouldn't be surprised if he suspended any actions against Trump "for the good of the nation."
