We're past it now. It doesn't matter one damned bit even if Trump prevails.
Speaking for myself, I now have no faith in the soap box anymore because the left has played the 'hate speech' and 'safe spaces' game. Get up on the soap box and you will be crushed by Big Tech which heavily censors most social media. I'm surprised I haven't gotten the boot from here yet but I'm sure I eventually will.
The jury box is a waste of time because the courts have been politicacized. Asking for justice in the courts is a joke. The judges are not there to dispense fair and free justice anymore. They are there to serve the will of the party that was in power when they were appointed. SCOTUS has been like this for several generations. FDR tried to pack it.
It's sad because to be a justice on SCOTUS doesn't really require the services of a 'Constitutional scholar'. SCOTUS is there to determine the constitutionality of the issues brought before it. Actually a person with a high school education and half a brain could probably do the job. The jury box has been effectively destroyed.
As has the ballot box. Even if Trump prevails the ballot box has been destroyed by big tech and a lazy populace. The populace opted in many places for mail in ballots which we see have been easily hacked. In PA the numbers were 1.6 million ballots were sent out, 1.4 were returned and about 2.5 million counted according to what I read. Tell you anything?
Thanks, Karen. You were either too lazy or too damned scared of the virus to vote at the polls. You made it too easy for them. Of course you will never admit that yo made it easy for them.
The republic is dead and it's sadly beginning to look like the only box left is the cartridge box and I seriously doubt the public has the stomach for that.
I suppose I should get kind of a south of the border outfit to run around in. If I am going to live in a banana republic the least I can do is look the part. I suppose I'll probably have to leave the bandoliers and Winchester 94 at home, though.

I wrote this yesterday and have thought a bit more.
Those that do not learn from history are doomed to repeat it.
On the other hand those that do learn from history are generally doomed to be forced to watch those that don't.
In my case I among of the latter and as a result I have settled down a bit because I know you can't fix stupid. I will watch those that didn't learn.
That doesn't change much but at least I understand what's happening.
Incidentally socialism in a form arrived in this country in 1620 with the Pilgrims and the Mayflower Compact. Part of it was that everyone had to contribute a percentage of their crops etc to a common pot for those that were unsuccessful.
For the first few years they starved.
Finally in desperation they gave each family a plot of land and told them they could keep everything they produced on it.
They flourished.
