Guys, I get it, you hate Trump, to the point it verges on the physical, but do yourselves a favor and consider something, even if Biden wins.
The other side is going to expect you all you to be venomously hateful, insufferably smug bastards whose contempt will have a physical force, and if you prove them right, getting them to accept a Biden win will be harder if you play up to their expectations.
The smarter thing to do is be exceedingly gracious in victory and deny the other side anything that might stoke their fires. If you do that, reality will set in quicker for them since you are not helping them be continually blind to anger and you might avoid most of them becoming even more rabidly hateful then they expect their enemies.
Just keep that in mind even if you win. Being an asshole winner is no better than being a sore loser, and in this case, being an asshole winner is just going make the losers even more sore, and that helps no one.
