If Joe Biden Wins, Here's What You Won't See

If Joe Biden's campaign survives any challenges made regarding his lead in the electoral college, and he is named the 46th president of the United States, what you don't see afterwards is as important as what you do see. For example:

-- You probably won't see conservatives burning down government buildings, looting pharmacies, and assaulting police officers. Conservative protests usually take the form of people praying while on their knees, or Tea Party activists wearing their polo shirts and khaki shorts, holding the American flag, and then leaving the park -- which they inhabited with a permit -- in better condition than when they found it.

-- You probably won't notice conservatives demanding time off from work or school so they can sit home and sulk for three days/two weeks/four years. They'll be disappointed for a few days, perhaps criticize Democrats, mail-in balloting, and the not-even-trying-to-hide-it-anymore media, look forward to 2022, and then get on with their lives.

-- You probably won't see Tiktok videos of conservatives making tearful, mostly incoherent rants while in their cars.

-- Most likely, you won't see anti-Biden protesters make the trip to the inauguration, sit on the ground, make sure that the camera is running, and then do this.

In a way, it would be satisfying if some conservatives would behave like this, just to see whether progressives recognize the way they've been acting for four (or twenty) years.
