Bard's Tale IV wasn't the greatest game (great combat but far far too many tedious puzzles) but it has a an amazing soundtrack done predominantly in Scots Gaelic

In just think the media switches over to wall-to-wall negative coverage of Harris for whatever it is they decide is the story to pin on her to generate "clouds of uncertainty."

They still have to win in November.* Maybe that is the most likely scenario but it isn't set yet. * I am not saying that we are safe or in a good place if Democrats win in November though.

Informally I am talking with a bunch of folks who are terrified of another Trump administration and yet their darkest fantasies still generally include rule of law.

So in the scenario where Biden steps aside in favor of Harris and the NYT loses their favorite "Biden old/tired" story, what do we think they will move on to in order to tar and feather Harris?

If I were an optimist I would say we are at the "villain confidently starts monologuing about the success of his evil plan before it is a success" phase. I got a call from my extremely normie mom scared about the SC ruling. It is possible the crowing about blood scares a lot of ordinary folks.

Yeah, you get into..."but in the counterfactual would we have seen a continuation of that trend?" Did the debate halt the advance? Did it have any affect at all? I dunno.

I am increasingly worried about military coup honestly. Not hard to imagine some set of generals somewhere thinking that they need to step in and stop this madness.

A good chunk of the media is still in horserace mode. And it is hard to imagine what could shake them out of it.

I am not saying a dictatorship can't be orderly for most people. In fact that is how they survive. I am saying I don't think Trump specifically can generate an orderly and stable environment for most people. But I could be very wrong.

"it is easy to see that given an orderly society and a functioning economy, democratic politics may become a low priority" I had a stray thought. Whatever Trump will bring, it seems unlikely it will be an orderly society.

Yeah, nobody is coming to save us. So we have to try to win in November. Don't know if we can and don't know if it is even possible but we have to try.

Let people mourn a bit before yelling at them? Like this is actually a big deal and things really are grim. It is normal to feel awful. A bit of catharsis and then back to work.

None of this would be happening if there hadn't been real progress over the last few years and a sense that this is their last chance. They are a minority and they can't win by democratic means. The antidemocratic structures of our system gave them padding for a while..now even that is not enough.
