What exactly are GOPers terrified of if Biden becomes President? The Senate is red. Biden is very middle of the road, and neither he nor Harris would have carte blanche due to the Senate. So much huffing and puffing over nothing. Life goes on and none of the radical ideas Joe ran on will be possible.

They are middle of the road.
But they are not very bright. America may become very popular again as we give away everything we gained over the last 4 years.

She will try to destroy Israel with executive order (that's what I'm concerned about, although I realize most of America doesn't care).

It's a mystery to me too.

A Biden win is certainly not yet in the bag - mathematically, Trump could still win.

But if Biden DOES win - all the things they're very afraid of won't come to pass. Whatever it is they're so afraid of.

Yeah I don't get it. Biden is as "middle of the road" as it gets. And in all honesty I don't think "GOPers" are the ones who are concerned - it's the Trumpers.

It's like I told my son (this is the first election he's eligible to vote in)...the presidential race gets all the attention but your Governor on down are the ones that will impact you on a day to day basis. One man, whether it's Trump or Biden, can't radically change the country so the drama queens on both sides need to take it down a notch.

that is a thing, eh.

I kinda of liked how we pulled back from meddling around in the world. No big wars. Stuff is expensive.

I voted for Trump, but I'm feeling more comfortable with the situation. When there was the possibility of Dems taking both the Senate and the Presidency, I was sincerely worried for the future of this country. However, that didn't happen and, in other good news, it appears that some Dems are finally waking up to the fact that they are out-of-touch with the population in general.

Despite a Biden win, this election may be a turning point (for the better) for the Democratic party. I'm actually cautiously optimistic.

They live off outrage and grievance. That's why they loved Trump so much. That's basically his whole agenda. They really don't behave much different than leftist extremists, but then again, if you aren't as far right as they are...then you ARE a leftist extremist.

I truly hope Biden will make an effort to work across the aisle. The right won't recognize him for doing it, but we really need to build up the moderate component of both the congress and the electorate if it's possible.

I'm tired of this WWE type grandstanding we have in Washington. I'm ready to see some grown up discussion and it will be up to Biden to set that tone. Obviously if Trump wins that is out of the question.

Who says we are terrified? A lot of people sometimes missed the big picture here, Trump may have lost the election but the support for Republican Party as a whole has remained intact and in many cases increased (Latinos and black). Look at how many House seats have flipped to Republican and despite record spending ($500Bn) in the senate contest, Schumer will have to cry in the corner.
