What happens if the ISPs (Internet Service Providers) suddenly go dark? Maybe it will be easier if we don't know what hit us when it all goes blooey. Then you won't have to listen to me saying I told you so.
Doing nothing, I've found, is often a much wiser course in any emergency. This has to do with the fact that "emergency" is so often a skewed evaluation of circumstance. It's just a snapshot, frequently taken at a moment when our brains are drenched in fight-or-flight hormones. Most emergencies, like this one, are perceived too late anyway, and whatever we do only makes the impact more final. For the rest, nothing we do changes the outcome in any way. We survive, and take undue credit; we don't, and get blamed. This is not evidence for the need for swift action in the current "crisis."
I hope the Congress can manage, as it usually does, to continue its sterling record of inaction one last time in this criminal regime. What we are inevitably in for is already quite bad enough. We need now to unhesitatingly, uh, hesitate. As for the election, I'll go through the motions. I'm just bracing myself for the next phase of the coup.
