The comments about the light of God and all the glowy and doomposting got my drunk ass thinking stupid thoughts again and I have decided that the problem all you doomers have is that you still think we're subject to the laws of logic and not the whims of a bored deity.
This is 2020. The year where dramatic irony became our bread and butter. The year that has convinced me that we're being manipulated and twisted and strung along by God as he writes his insane fanfiction. All of creation is a story, and the author went full Stephen King, snorted a mountain of whatever Heaven has in place of cocaine, and has been awake for 365 days straight feverishly typing away.
Now tell me, what makes a better story? Biden winning as expected? Or Trump with his back to the wall somehow managing to take the win by the skin of his teeth?
The third act always needs a climax. And there is a lot of symbolism in this going to SCOTUS. The past four years have been foreshadowing this with the fights for SCOTUS appointees, it would be bad writing if we didn't make it there.
Actually now that I think about it, even if Trump loses its still a great story. The protagonist fighting until the bitter end against a political machine hellbent on crushing him underfoot can be just as cathartic as an underdog victory, even if its in different ways. Maybe God is going for a tragedy here. A 'Forget it Don, its Washington' style ending.
If so, well played Yahweh. I hope this one sells better than your light novels you hack.
