I don't know what's going to happen this week and neither do you. Not knowing is unsettling and you'd think by now we'd be used to it. One of the non-lethal but still upsetting things about The Pandemic is that we have no idea when it will end, how it will end, how it might get worse, what will be left after it ends, etc.
All the sites that aggregate polls are saying there's at least a 90% chance Joe Biden will get the most votes for the Electoral College and I'm at least that certain. None of them can tell us anything though about court challenges, honest counting, judicial decisions, etc. And we have only educated guesstimates of when we'll know who got how many votes. This is very much uncharted, unprecedented territory.
We also don't know how the inevitable anger by the losing side will manifest itself. Some folks will be livid but what will they do?
In situations like this, I think it helps to acknowledge the uncertainty and not try to predict too much when you simply can't know. You just frustrate yourself when you decide A will happen, then B, then either C or D and finally, probably E. You frustrate yourself because then R happens and it somehow leads to J and then to some letter in the Greek alphabet…and just when you thought you had it all figured out. But you didn't.
Try not to think too much about it. There are way too many crazy theories and projections and folks who say they have it all figured out but they don't. "I don't know what's going to happen" is a perfectly acceptable way to face a situation. It's the truth more often than some of us like to admit.
