Hearing an echo - Robin Williams from "Good Morning" Vietnam

 Good Morning All!!

Maybe not since Doc Brown explained alternate timelines in "Back to the Future" there are 2 different directions possible. The differences are this is real and perhaps in an odd way we are actually united.
Are we not all pioneers heading into an undiscovered country as surely as the wagon trains of the west or the first encampments by European on our east coast?
Let's make good choices - for if American freedom ever meant anything fundamentally - it is about the individual to make a choice. Today only -- for the next 24 hours - "We the people" choose. It is a risk - but it is MY choice, it is YOUR choice...repeated millions individually but yet together.
Tomorrow is another day and unless we have being living a real Twilight Zone episode - we will not all disappear at the same time.
"We the People" will be here - So Let's...(complete the sentence - for what is the now)

Game out the following scenario in a Presidential election between Trump vs Harris.

Game out the following scenario in a Presidential election between Trump vs Harris. It is 9pm and Trump declares victory and demands a stop to the counting. Without being specific, he suggests his follower take action at midnight. What happens over the next 48 hours? What happens when the electoral college meets?



 Based on the search results and context provided, here's how the scenario might unfold:


## First 12 Hours (9 PM - 9 AM)

- Harris campaign immediately activates their prepared response plan, flooding media channels with messages urging calm[4]

- Social media platforms begin flagging Trump's declarations as misleading

- Law enforcement increases security at vote counting centers

- By midnight, protests begin forming at key counting locations

- Democratic legal teams file preemptive court actions to ensure vote counting continues


## Day 1 (9 AM - 9 PM)

- Vote counting continues despite protests

- Multiple simultaneous lawsuits filed by Trump campaign in battleground states

- Markets show initial volatility but stabilize as institutional responses activate

- Media organizations continue reporting results regardless of Trump's declaration

- Protests grow larger at vote counting centers, particularly in swing states

- State election officials from both parties publicly affirm their commitment to complete the count


## Day 2 (24-48 Hours)

- First complete state results begin to emerge

- Court rulings start coming in on emergency filings

- National Guard may be activated in states experiencing significant unrest

- International allies begin issuing statements supporting democratic processes

- Both campaigns establish competing media narratives about legitimacy


## Electoral College Meeting

- If results remain disputed, two scenarios could unfold:

1. Clear mathematical winner emerges despite protests

2. Disputed electors from multiple states create constitutional crisis


- State legislatures may attempt to intervene in elector selection

- Supreme Court likely becomes involved if state results remain contested

- Congress prepares for potential January 6th challenges to certification


The situation could become particularly volatile if margins are extremely close in multiple battleground states, potentially leading to an extended period of uncertainty and legal challenges[1][4].

Bucks County Risks

 Based on the information provided and the specific query about Bucks County, here are the locations most likely to be at risk of conflict if tensions escalate:


1. Bucks County Administration Building

- Address: 55 E Court St, Doylestown, PA 18901

- This is the central hub for county government and could be a focal point for protests or demonstrations.


2. Bucks County Board of Elections Office

- Address: 55 E Court St, Doylestown, PA 18901 (same building as Administration)

- As the center of election activities, this location could attract both protesters and counter-protesters.


3. Bucks County Courthouse

- Address: 100 N Main St, Doylestown, PA 18901

- Any legal challenges would likely be filed here, making it a potential flashpoint.


4. Lower Bucks Government Services Center

- Address: 7321 New Falls Rd, Levittown, PA 19055

- This satellite office in a more densely populated area could see gatherings.


5. Falls Township Municipal Building

- Address: 188 Lincoln Hwy, Fairless Hills, PA 19030

- As a major township in Lower Bucks, this could be a gathering point for local demonstrations.


6. Bensalem Township Municipal Building

- Address: 2400 Byberry Rd, Bensalem, PA 19020

- Bensalem is the most populous municipality in Bucks County and could see significant activity.


7. Newtown Township Administration Building

- Address: 100 Municipal Dr, Newtown, PA 18940

- As a central location in a politically active area, this could attract demonstrations.


8. Bristol Borough Hall

- Address: 250 Pond St, Bristol, PA 19007

- This historic area in Lower Bucks could be a gathering point for protests.


These locations are at higher risk due to their significance in local government and election processes. The areas around these buildings, particularly in Doylestown (the county seat) and in larger townships like Bensalem and Falls, are more likely to see gatherings that could potentially lead to conflicts between opposing groups.

Perplexity questions

 I prompted an AI tool a series of questions about the election and possible violence. I asked it: "When, where and how is violence likely to be initiated" and "Where is the greatest tensions between Trumper vs non-trumpers"


THIS IS NOT A PREDICITION - I don't know what to take from this AI response.

I asked it to be specific - this was the response:

Here are the most specific likely tension points based on historical patterns and current indicators:

## Major Urban Hotspots
1. Philadelphia, PA
- Center City government buildings
- Philadelphia Convention Center (vote counting)
- South Philadelphia neighborhoods
- City Hall area

2. Atlanta Metro, GA
- State Capitol complex
- Fulton County vote counting center
- Cobb County election offices
- Downtown protest gathering points

3. Phoenix, AZ
- Maricopa County Tabulation Center
- State Capitol complex
- Downtown Phoenix protest zones
- Paradise Valley area

## Specific High-Risk Locations
1. Pennsylvania
- Harrisburg State Capitol complex
- Pittsburgh federal building area
- Delaware County vote counting facilities
- Montgomery County election offices

2. Michigan
- Detroit TCF Center (now Huntington Place)
- Lansing Capitol grounds
- Grand Rapids federal building
- Wayne County election facilities

3. Wisconsin
- Madison State Capitol area
- Milwaukee central counting facility
- Kenosha courthouse area
- Green Bay vote counting centers

## Timing of Greatest Risk
- Election Day evening (after 8pm EST)
- First 48 hours after polls close
- Weekend following election
- Days when major court decisions are announced

## Specific Trigger Points
- Announcement of mail-in ballot counts
- Court filing moments
- Social media calls for action
- Declaration of state results
- Live media coverage of vote counting

These locations require particular attention from law enforcement and election security officials, based on previous incidents and current intelligence.

Not leaving yet

Want to apologize to those that I unjustly 

Want to thank those who did not hate me

Want to thank those who accepted me in spite of my faults

Adapt and overcome
