play the games / hold the election as they say.
But I've noticed that there's more and more concern about what Trump will do if he loses. Is this just anxiety, or am I missing something? He's a dotard with a few armed nutjobs, not a general with the backing of the army and air force. There might be some low-level violence, especially if the count drags on for a few days, but I don't see any risk of general social unrest / 18 Brumaire 1799 / Santiago 1973. Or am I wrong? (And to be clear: *any* violence around an election is a disaster for a country that until 2020 had managed the peaceful transfer of power in every election since 1796.)
