Tuesday Talk*: The Day After

There is an outside chance the we’ll know the winner tonight. If the turnout at the polls today is light. If the returns for the day favor Joe Biden in key states. We’ll know. Don’t bother arguing for or against a candidate. That part of our existence is over for the moment, so resist the impulse.

Will there be any possibility of our House continuing undivided?

As Rodney King famously said, “Can’t we all just get along?” Can we? Have we given up on tolerance? Is compromise no longer possible? Are the goals of left and right so irreconcilable that one must win and the other lose?

A house divided against itself cannot stand.

Ironically, these words come from the Great Emancipator, who has since been canceled.

Is there a path to House united or are we now too divided to keep a viable Republic?

*Normal Tuesday Talk rules do not apply. No touting your candidate. No attacking the other candidate. No Barleycorn porn pics.
