‘A decade of power’: Statehouse wins position GOP to dominate redistricting
I still don’t know if there was fraud. But I do know that shutting everyone who has concerns is only convincing people that they are right. I am more offended by how ham fisted, clumsy, and audacious the fraud to elect him is than the idea of Joe Biden being president.

Aftermath
The big question prior to this election for me was who was living in reality and who was living in a delusional world? Ironically, it appears that the person with the best grasp on reality was Donald Trump’s own personal pollster.
You can see a comparison of predictions here.
Of course, conservatives are up in arms about the results regardless of the fact that Trump did far better then was predicated. Part of that is just the emotion of moment and of course the media is blaming Trump from stirring up those emotions without any solid proof. But while I could wish that Trump was more professional, the media is as usual doing a disservice to the country by focusing on that.
The real reason many conservatives are so sure they have been had is because of this…..
There may be a perfectly innocent explanation for it. But the media will treat anyone who raises any questions about this as being an enemy of Democracy and this will only convince the rank and file that support Trump that they have been had. If the media would do its job and report on this very strange happening they would do more to bring peace to the country then just saying that Trump is bad for claiming fraud without evidence.
One of the strange things about this election is that only group that Trump did worse then in the past was with White Males. This is not what I would have expected at all.

If you want to understand the debates surrounding hydrostatic shock, you should watch this video. I don’t have a strong opinion about that subject (a rarity for me), but I think after watching this video you will understand why some people believe in it even though the topic is not mentioned.
