Annoying Times column by David Brooks this morning—
what if the Repunklicans declare victory before the mail-in votes are counted?
Did anyone have misgivings
about all that campaigning
the Democrats did for vote-by-mail?
Now we’re not sure how we
plan to vote; plus, for a bonus, we get to read David Brooks’s column this
morning
projecting white-supremacists
on our front lawn
because the mail-in votes for Biden
were counted later than the regular ballets (or never). I’ve had misgivings
all along about the wisdom of
warning
people not to go to the poles (to avoid covid and intimidation);
and now Brooks’s annoying Times column
this morning
makes me anticipate
Repunklicans in Wisconsin, Michigan and Florida
celebrating early (so will the mail-ins ever be counted?).
We remember with huge misgivings
in the year 2000, with the hanging chads and all, when there had to be a recount.
The Brooksster wants us to plan for such a scenario,
but when I think of the courage that will be required, I dare say I have misgivings.
