Today, democracy won in the United States - something that has been in question for the past four years. The Electoral College (an anachronism if ever there was one) voted honestly - something that was also in question for the past month.
So, what can they look forward to?
1 - Joe Biden will be their next President, assuming he stays alive until January 20, 2021.
2 - Trump will never officially concede his fate as a "deposed King". He will continue to do everything in his power to place roadblocks in Biden's path - except for the time he spends in court fighting the many lawsuits that will proceed against him. That will continue until he dies, or is incapacitated with dementia, or is perhaps spending time in prison.
3 - The prospect of violence is very real. Civil War, The Sequel, is likely to proceed, and be encouraged by the treasonous Retrumplicans.
4 - The 2022 election will have Republican candidates who are even more extreme, as Trump makes sure that anyone who speaks the truth will be challenged in their primaries. It will be at least 2024 before the Republican party can even begin to clean the tarnish off their brand.
5 - Biden may quash the Keystone pipeline from Canada. At this moment that seems like a reasonable price to pay for having a sane person in the White House.

Stay well. See you tomorrow.
