Without the senate, a Biden win isn't worth much, although it would at least get rid of DeVos, Barr, Mnuchin and the rest of the Cabinet O' Crap.

But Biden won't win. The Supreme Court will ensure that Trump wins, no matter what the votes are.
I think you're being pessimistic in your last paragraph. I think there really would be a Civil War if that happens. It would tell the people that there is no democracy

Gore won in 2000 but the Supreme Court picked Bush.

Three of the attorneys who represented Bush in Bush Vs. Gore are now ON the court.

There is no democracy.

There won't be a Civil War. What do you think all those walls in front of the White House are for? Trump will order Barr to order federal troops to come out and shoot anyone who protests.

All Hail Supreme Leader Trump. See you at the re-education camp!

The progressives will be livid, but most liberals and moderates will be just fine.

Understood. I am more thinking about the crazy AOC types that will be very disappointed.

^ Crazy extremist thoughts. People thinking like this is exactly why the country is so divided.

Just one post in, and a liberal sees to it that Godwin’s law makes its appearance.

To the OP: I agree. My biggest fear was a sweep by the Dems, thus paving the way for extreme left policies. Now, as you say, Court packing is off the table, all the bribes to illegals to get more of them here is DOA, the Green New Deal is kaput, and soon-to-be President Harris won’t be able to get her “equalization” and massive spending endeavors anywhere.

True. China pops to mind. As does Iran. As does the progress in the ME.

The liberals have the re-education camps down pat. They’re called public schools. White man BAD!

China doesn't want Trump policies. That's why they bought Biden this election

There are mid term elections in 2022, so that could change the Senate.
