    I really hadn't thought much about that. It would be very interesting to see how the guardians of democracy react.

      1. Do you think Kamala certifies the election?

      2. Do you think the Dems in the House try to block it?

      3. Do you think there’s another mob trying to stop the process?

      1. Yes.

          Happened in 2016. Why should 2024 be any different?

            I think Trump should apply the Hogwarts' Rule...Help will be given, if help is asked for.

                  I don't think there will be any official resistance against a Trump victory in the forms of 1 or 2. Riots by the rabble, yes, to some extent. That's a given. Some of us will eagerly point them out and discuss them, and some of us will note clinically that they're a shame, then move along. (Or maybe blame them on Trump, because he's the reason for the anti-Trump mobs.) We all know who will be who.

                  Education is extremely important.

                        1. Do you think Jon commits harakiri?

                        Nope he's more formal than that.


                        1. Seppuku (切腹):
                          • Formal term: “Seppuku” is the more formal, ceremonial word. It comes from the characters “切” (setsu or “to cut”) and “腹” (fuku or “belly”).
                          • Samurai code: Seppuku was typically carried out by samurai to restore honor after dishonor, avoid capture, or as a form of capital punishment for serious crimes.
                          • Ritual: It involved a very strict procedure, often including cutting the abdomen, followed by a second who would deliver a beheading to ensure a quicker death.
                          • Honor: It was considered an honorable and noble way to die, deeply tied to the bushido (samurai) code.
                        2. Harakiri (腹切り):
                          • Colloquial term: “Harakiri” is a more casual and less formal term, derived from the same characters but reversed— “腹” (hara or “belly”) and “切り” (kiri or “cutting”).
                          • Common usage: Although the action is the same, harakiri is often used in casual speech or by non-Japanese speakers when referring to the act.
                          • Context: It’s typically used in more informal contexts and is less associated with the ceremony or honor than “seppuku.”

                        OTOH, who would be @Jon's second?

                                    Obviously, the Capitol will be better secured. There will be no more plausible deniability that a bunch of rentacops who will commit suicide if they are called upon to do their jobs and maybe get some owies in the process, are adequate to the task of defending our very democracy.

                                    Education is extremely important.

                                      We should celebrate 1/6 every 4 years by opening all the doors of the capitol.

                                          He would have let them in, but he also would have shot each and every one of them that got violent.
