Where we go from here
In the first twenty days of this new year, I urge all of you to keep in mind that Trump doesn’t magically have more power and leverage as a result of losing. Nothing works that way, no matter how many pundits try to gain attention for themselves by scaring you into believing it.
– We all knew all along that Trump would botch the initial vaccine rollout, and that vaccinations wouldn’t properly get underway until Biden takes office. Just one more thing for Trump to screw up on his way down. In a lot of ways, the new year won’t begin until January 20th.
– Tweet of the day, from Mary Trump: “To every single frontline worker—anybody who sacrificed to keep us safe, to stock our shelves, deliver our packages, and keep things running, we owe you a debt of gratitude we can never repay—but in 2021 I sincerely hope we try.”
