Almost There...

 Friday, November 6th, 6:38pm. They're still counting the votes. Pennsylvania is almost there. Provisional votes must be counted, possibly 29,000 of the US Armed Forces, and we're done. That's at least a day or two away. Yet Biden's lead continues to increase there, in Nevada, South Carolina, and Michigan.

All this is welcome news to me, an Independent who consistently votes Democrat. Honestly, I only became an Independent so that I'd be free to choose whom I want at any time, without the strings of either party. 

So we wait. The anxiety is waning and hope replacing it, step by step, day by day. 

If Biden wins (and I think he will), there will be count after recount. It will take weeks. I guess I can wait that out, knowing what the outcome will be. At least, of the election, I mean. 

What Trump supporters will do *after* the election is decided, is another thing. Due to the COVID19 induced anger I've seen, I expect to see men and women from 35-70 out in the streets, burning and looting. Shooting guns. Grabbing people of color and murdering them. Attempts made on Democratic officials. Rioting. 

Trump won't stop them. He'll revel in it.  We won't have civilization back until Joe takes the White House. And COVID19 will kill 26,000 more people in Florida alone. 

I don't want to be alarmist, but violence, even at my clinic, is proof that the public is a bunch of dangerous animals. I'm talking white, middle class folks, trailer trash, Crackers, etc. They'll take to the streets with their anger. 

A patient (white, male, bearded, with expensive clothes and a large silver chain around his neck) threatened bodily harm on poor Yolanda, my Hispanic coworker, if he wasn't tested immediately after waiting 3 hours. So I chased him out of the clinic. Told him to get.....out. And he did, after I threatened to call the police. It was great. I loved kicking him out. 

We'll see what happens. In the meantime, there's hurricane Eta to deal with. It's not supposed to hit Tampa, but it's still a day or so away. Things change from forecast to forecast. 

We'll see.
