Well, this is it - the last night before we know. It's possible that we won't know on Tuesday, but I suspect we will.
Because I expect Kamala Harris to win in a landslide.
In any event, Trump will declare victory early, even if he's behind, thus starting the clock on Insurrection 2.0. The good news is that this time, the Democrats have the White House and the Senate and are ready. There's also additional legislation in place to protect the process.
Off the top of my head, here's what happens if Trump wins (admittedly hampered if Democrats take one or both chambers):
Women nationwide lose the right to control their own bodies
An economic crash, throwing us into a recession
Tax cuts for the richest made permanent
The experienced, neutral Federal bureaucracy fired
The Supreme Court stays under control of the radical right wing for the next forty years
We lose the Dept. of Education, the FDA, the EPA, and other federal agencies
Any progressive policies or legislation are lost
Vaccine mandates eliminated
Fluoridation outlawed
Obamacare repealed
The US drops out of the Paris Accords
The US drops out of NATO
Israel given permission to eliminate Gaza, with no pressure or guardrails
Ukraine given to Russia
More corruption in the White House
Retribution against Trump's enemies, regardless of the law
A weaponized Justice Dept.
Millions of people thrown into concentration camps to be deported
Families separated by the government
A new surveillance state
Loss of 1st Amendment freedoms
Trump declares himself dictatorTrump won't last four years and we have President JD Vance
It's exhausting isn't it? The good news is that it might all be over within 24 hours except for the MAGA raging, and I'm confident the government is prepared for that. But if Trump wins, we're screwed.
So go out and vote.
VOTE BLUE, NO MATTER WHO
See you on the other side.

Bad for everyone. Even MAGA might eventually realize that.
