For the last month the mainstream media and pollsters had been predicting a blue wave of Democrat voters to sweep Trump out the White House, take back the Senate, and strenghten their Congressional majority, however the eperts were shocked by conservative base hitting the polls in record numbers to create a swarth of red states from Idaho to Florida. On Tuesday night in Arlington, VA Trump thanked his loyal followers and promised the audience an epic victory of epic.
The crowd interrupted his speech and shouted, “Four more years, four more years.”
The Democratic wave washed up on the shore as a ripple.
The DNC leadership was shocked by Trump’s resurgence from the dead, but as in 2016 they had failed to address his supporters fear that gun rights, global warming, immigration, gay rights, abortion, and prayer in schools was threatened by a socialist revolution. Neither side sought a middle ground and while Biden has a lead in the Electoral College, several states have yet to complete a final tally of votes.
In 2000 Palm Beach was invaded by right-wing activists who successfully disrupted the Palm Beach County count. No one can predict an outcome, although I feel Joe Biden becoming #46.
Maybe the ripple was enough of a deluge.
We won’t know tonight.
Maybe I’ll go to Rockaway Beach for 2020’s last swim in the Atlantic or just sit in the ripples eddying on the sand. The choice is mine.
