I suppose my initial thoughts were regarding the hours & days after the election.
However...the more I see of a potential Biden win, the more I realize that both the balance in the Senate and the behavior of the SQUAD may be VERY consequential in the months that follow.
Would the dottering, sleepy Biden have any actual course of action or would the impatient radicals start pounding their drum for further revolution--ie passing the Green New Deal, signing back on to the Paris & Tokyo accords, stripping W Va of its main source of income, and threatening car manufacturers with bankruptcy with Green mandates. These are the people that even try to outlaw types of wood stoves! Imagine the whole nation submerging in a Covid 19 lockdown as Joe has advocated and the serious depression that would immediately follow.
If Joe wins...and the senate flips...I would guess not only is the Supreme Court going to get several radicals added but they could go after the Electoral college...offer citizenship to 13.5 million illegals...and begin dismantling the wall to welcome more. At that point, the Republican party would go the way of the Whigs. Our retirement savings would suffer horribly by a stock crash AND more opportunities to tax it...targeting WAY down into the middle class.
All these investigations would come to a standstill, taxes would spike, and the "100 Days" would be like Nancy Pelosi offering her Ice Cream freezer to the homeless in Lafayette Park: Freebies for every burned out Democrat district while gun control legislation starts rolling out.
This is a grim picture of the potential months into the Harris-Biden administration. I believe I have fairly clear understanding of the mess that would erupt....and that does not even address the retirement & firing & quitting of tens of thousands of police officers.
