Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
The anti-mask sentiment is so ridiculous. I get it, they're uncomfortable, I hate wearing mine all day at work, but it's such an incredibly minor inconvenience to prevent spreading a virus that even if it doesn't kill you has a 1-in-3 chance of causing long-term health effects.
The fact that it's been politicized to this extreme degree is depressing.
I'm so angry about Trump and Fox News playing the pandemic as a partisan plot. You can't put that genie back even if you reverse course later. The virus isn't fucking playing politics.

It would be just dandy if only the anti-mask idiots got sick, but it unjustly doesn't work that way. I am totally okay with all these idiots getting sick. Also, I hate this change in my previously peace love dove personality.
Fivethirtyeight has released its forecasting model:
(I'm not entirely sold on the design, it feels like dumbing it down.) It currently gives Trump a 28% chance, which sounds about right to me. If the election were held today, it'd give Biden a 93% chance, which also sounds about right.
Can we please have the election today? I want this over with so very much.
I'm more worried about what happens when Biden wins and Trump refuses to leave office.
It isn't going to be pretty, but I don't think the GOP or Justice will stand with him at that point. I hope.
I think the election will be won or lost in the courts this year.

I dunno. If Fox News and its like are out there pushing how the Dems are an existential threat to the country and that the election was fraudulent, that may cow the GOP in backing not accepting the results. Barr already has voiced his opinion that the Dems are an existential threat.

I think the GOP absolutely will support him. Because he's their only means of staying in power, and they know that.
