There was no violence in the midterm elections last week, and many election deniers lost and quietly conceded.

It’s either things calming down a bit or the calm before the storm. Hopefully the latter. Some normalcy would be refreshing.

Not sure if you got latter and former confused, but I for one am hoping things are calming down. That said, I know that this was midterms and since Trump wasn’t actually on the ballot, it probably means a lot of the people who drove unrest last time around weren’t motivated to show up.

I did get it mixed up. I meant former.

Agreed!

It’s only returning to normal if normal people keep informing themselves (with truth) and voting.

Otherwise the extreme right will put this whole thing in peril again as quickly as they can.
