I'm nervous for how much worse the shit show gets over the next two months now that he has lost the election.

It's a good day.
It's Friday.
I made myself a sausage egg and cheese on french toast and it's wonderful.
The weekend officially starts tonight.
A new episode of the Mandalorian.
The red team in Georgia has once again choked at the very end and Trump is 100% on his way to losing the election by EC and Popular Vote
So how will we be retiring this thread come Jan 20th?
Welcome to GEN-OT, have a seat, we'll introduce you to the 23-year-old who will lecture you about how Democrats didn't try hard enough to improve the ACA, and once that's all set up you'll be assigned a socialist who supported Ron Paul up to 2015 to harass you forever.

Americans are the Chinese of the west. The main reason people tolerate them is because they are too big to ignore.

This is the sort of thing I've been worried about too. Trump has lots of options -- Trump can cheat.
The good news, is with so many states against him, it's getting harder and harder to do so. Legal options are losing ground, because Trump's claims that all these states committed fraud are bad enough, proving they all did is even worse.
He could easily resort to violence.
Well, both Bannon and a facebook group with over 364000 members got shut down. Bannon especially got his twitter account and mail account for his podcast permabanned. Both for calls for violence.

Yep. Valid. A good start. Twitter can't do shit if Trump invades Iran. Which, check my post history, I've been suggesting for literally years.
If Iran sits quietly and does nothing, Congress would immediately act -- not even the Republican Party will start a land war in Asia for Trump's distraction. But that takes 90 days. Trump could start bombing ten minutes ago and keep it up till February.
Also, Twitter can't stop a riot. In fact, Twitter blocking people might lead to one.
Trump intentionally attracted the gun nuts, the crazies, the QAnons, the Nazis and the KKK, and the Russian plants. Violence is not likely, it's expected. And Trump has zero to negative reasons to stop it.
Did he call for violence or was it just the "heads on pikes" thing? Genuinely asking because I haven't been paying attention. If it's just for the latter than I think it's a touch heavy-handed as we've all probably been guilty of making similar hyperbolic statements. I mean, I think it was really unfair for Kathy Griffin to get so shit on for her "severed head" picture.
Then again, Kathy Griffin is a comedian (arguably) and Bannon is actually involved in politics, so I guess that's the difference. I don't know. Shut up. I'm cranky.
I think at this point, America has lost its sense of humor about killing people.

Hey @Benggaul is your shocked face ready? Is it ready? It better be ready.
Counties with worst virus surges overwhelmingly voted Trump
I mean, what are the odds? That's a massive coincidence, right? Who could have seen that coming?U.S. voters went to the polls starkly divided on how they see President Donald Trump’s response to the coronavirus pandemic. But in places where the virus is most rampant now, Trump enjoyed enormous support.
An Associated Press analysis reveals that in 376 counties with the highest number of new cases per capita, the overwhelming majority — 93 percent of those counties — went for Trump, a rate above other less severely hit areas.
Most were rural counties in Montana, the Dakotas, Nebraska, Kansas, Iowa and Wisconsin — the kinds of areas that often have lower rates of adherence to social distancing, mask-wearing and other public health measures, and have been a focal point for much of the latest surge in cases.
