Okay, real question: Ted Cruz planned to 'debate' electors for various states voting for Biden, contesting their individual elections, right? Once the vote gets back underway, and all the coupies have been arrested (if they were people of color or leftists they would have been shot on sight, but instead we're getting 'go home we love you' - I'm getting serious Malheur Refuge Standoff vibes here, remember that?) and his skanky ass is out of danger - is he still gonna do that? Try to basically filibuster the election?
Or are we going to hope that this has stopped being a game for the various Senators and that they'll knuckle down and do the minimum required amount of governing? I'm 50-50 honestly. Could say 'okay it's no longer safe to try and bait the Trumpistas because they're loyal to him not the party', or they could say 'well I better do whatever it takes to appease the angry mob who could very well lynch me once I get home if I don't do what they say and try to slow down the election'.
Also, while we're falling apart at the seams, the Chinese built A quantum internet. We've let authoritarian ethnonationalists beat us in the tech game - again. This is what, the third Sputnik moment in about a year? With Huawei's 5G as 1, Covid as 2.
