Please understand that your special interest for betting on electoral outcomes, which you developed in 2016 due to your Statistics Prof betting on a Trump win, is not something that you need to share with other people. Betting is sad and tawdry, and telling people that a political platform which doesn’t do much to differentiate itself from harmful authoritarianism is quite likely to win is also harmful.
I’m posting it because people are huffing copium thinking “Trump is done!!” When there’s a lot more that needs to be done by the left still. People read news articles like this and get complacent because they think the dems have secured Pennsylvania, but it’s not true.

Just keep it to yourself, thanks.

People cope in strange ways when they are threatened with political violence, yes.
