Well, one more glass of wine to join with the party in the streets of America, bet they were partying here in Canada too. The big cities are erupting in spontaneous joy this Saturday evening. It kinda reminds me of VE day celebrations at the end of the second world war. VJ day is still ahead though and the moral war continues with a coming battle in Georgia for two senate seats.
I think I'll call this a moral war from now on, instead of a cold civil war, those occupying the moral high ground eventually win those wars. Those who made bad moral choices are the adversary, not enemy, there is a difference, this was not an election about ideology, Trump has none and neither do his base, this election was about morals. We can use different paradigms, the moral one is more pragmatic, but there are other contributing factors like alternative realities that fuel and confirm existing biases.

With Biden Win, Can Trump be Indicted by SDNY Prosecutors During Lame Duck Period to Test OLC Memo?
The Department of Justice Office of Legal Counsel (OLC) issued an opinion memo that a sitting criminal president can not be indicted while in office. This horrific, unsupportable legal opinion has shielded Donald Trump from accountability for his crimes for the past four years. This video presents an argument in favor of why prosecutors from the US Attorney's Office for the Southern District of New York (SDNY) should consider testing the OLC memo by charging Trump for the campaign finance crimes he committed together with Michael Cohen to settle the legal issue of whether a sitting criminal president can or can not be indicted while in office.
Also, all federal crimes are considered offense against the United States - in essence, offenses against all of the American people. Accordingly, the crimes committed by Trump and his criminal associates are, in a very real sense, crimes committed against Trump's own supporters. This is why holding Trump and company accountable for their crimes is in the interest of ALL Americans and should not serve to further divide the country.

And Trump's bunch think he is the moral one because he does not act as a politician. That allows him to do as he pleases in their eyes.

I think the party in the streets of America might make the biggest impression on Donald about the challenges to clinging to power, he works from gut, this will give that gut something to digest.

He probably is surrounded by people that won't pass that on to him. Heck, let's see what Fox is saying.
Wow, looks like trump is yesterday's news. It is almost like aliens took over Fox. This is funny.

It's both simple and complex, a paradox if you will, simple in it is bigotry and racism that bind them, complex in the causes of stress that brought their biases forward enough to cloud their objectivity. Strong emotions distort and narrow our perspective of reality and reduce empathy. People have feelings and they occur in the body, these correspond to basic approach and avoidance, behaviors, called desire or craving and aversion in Buddhism for instance. These form the seeds of our motives and intentions and are both instinctive and conditioned, racism for instance rides on our reaction to the other, as in those of another tribe, in our evolutionary history and is more easily conditioned than other things. What passes for rational thinking is merely a rationalization of our conditioning, our conscious thinking is subjective most of the time concerned with maintaining a self consistent egoic construct we present to the world.
When we become angry or frightened for instance, blood drains from the prefrontal cortex that controls emotions in social situations, as we enter fight or flight mode. You ain't checking yer social calendar when the lion is chasing yer ass, blood flow is directed where it is needed to survive, including the brain and whole sections simply shut down. Ironically when we get pissed in social situations this evolutionary adaptation doesn't work too fucking well!

Assholes is useful short hand, no need for too much complexity
