Asking the right question!

And the right answer is: this itself is a hoax. CNN made no such claim or correction.

Yes, most people just want to live their lives and keep their families safe. It's clear to me that people on both "left" and "right" have their blind spots. I think a little opposition is healthy in a republic because you are motivated to point out the flaws in the other side's reasoning, ideally reaching more robust solutions.

It beats being a one party state like China, where only the Communists can be right.

The Constitution is supposed to hold through all of this, so it's not clear to me how any inauguration would apply through January 20th. I believe a "transition" would still have to happen on the 20th regardless of anything else.

I doubt elections would be done forever. How long is the military supposed to run things?
