While there's news aplenty, it's becoming increasingly difficult to take much of it seriously. Most of the headlines at the moment concern the silly recount effort underway in Wisconsin. There's not a chance in hell that the results will change, but we're going to be treated to a plethora of chin-scratchers from the assembled punditocracy. If you have 800 words to fill, it's a great way to do it.
What is underlying the recount, however, does bear some scrutiny. I'm frankly a little worried about how unhinged people have become about the election of Le Gran Orange. Every day I read things like "he must be stopped" and "he cannot be president" on my social media feed. Such statements require a question -- if Trump must be stopped and cannot be president, what are people prepared to do to stop him? Are people on the Left willing to mount an insurrection?
I don't think they are, nor do I think they are capable of it. Still, I wonder about how long the madness can go on.

How long the madness can go on? Doesn't that assume that madness can succumb to simple reason? Seems to me that madness would preclude such, by definition.
the left never rests.
that, and they had near total dominance of all education above jr high level for 30 years... where they have always gotten their way eventually after making enough drama.
