Why the slow process of counting is a good thing,

If Biden had been declared the winner right off the bat on Tuesday night the Trumpian wackos would have been all energized and ready to march and sow all sorts of havoc in the streets. As it is, they are getting a "count to ten" moment. Time to cool down and get used to the idea that they have lost.

Now there will be no sudden, instant stimulus to propel them into the streets. Instead, they might just kick and and wallow in their self-pity and stay home.

less between now and Jan 20, 2021 that he'll be so preoccupied that he won't have time to terrorize us with his criminal antics.
