Has anyone staked a claim to “Covfefe vs. Malarkey” yet? Which sounds like a bitter American divorce; which in many ways it actually is. Yes, there is still bipartisan support in Washington, DC, but mainly for actions against China, which are polarizing; on most domestic fronts, we see nothing but that polarization.
It’s certainly going to be a long day as we wait to see which political, cultural, geopolitical economic, and geoeconomic memes will be replicated at the ballot box by the 116 Americans left who haven’t already voted. That’s a joke of course: turnout today will be huge. It’s going to be an even longer wait if this all ends up in the court room, as threatened. Which probably will happen unless turnout today is so crushing for either party that the other has no choice but to concede.
As I typed this line, a Bloomberg headline flashed by: “Trump and Biden both claim victory” even before Election Day polling booths have opened. Yes, it’s going to be a long, long day; or perhaps week; or even weeks. So let’s have some Election Day entertainment until we get the results in from key Florida counties, which will give us the first indication of what has happened.
