Only if we're not all in a mass depressive fugue state by then!
@MLClark Not the end of the world.
@MLClark Trump concedes, a new normal reigns.
@MLClark Democracy โGo Bagโ for sale; unneeded.
"For sale: baby shoes, never worn."
๐ That was indeed the reference, which CP pulled off beautifully.
@MLClark And then the aliens arrived.
A1: So what did they choose?
A2: Hold up. The last state votes are rolling in.
A1: *waits*
A2: And... NOW! It's good! All clear!
A1: Yes! Showtime!
*Flicks on the flying saucer's lights*
LET'S RIDE!
A3: *aside* Couldn't we have gone in even if they went the other way?
A1: Technically yes, but the eggs back home would be embarrassed if our first-contact photos involved tentacle-touching the other one.
A3: *shudders* He does have very small tentacles.
A1: Right?! The smallest!

The Don is denied and detained.
There's a Spanish concept that I have been thinking about a lot in relation to what comes next: pena ajena - the pain of watching someone else's deplorable, embarrassing, awful actions.
I know some folks want/need to see in prison, but I just don't want to hear about him anymore. Too much pena ajena. I don't want his name mentioned. I don't want more analysis of his politics. I would like him to vanish into the mist, as you describe, so his power is gone and we can move on.
@MLClark democracy wins, peace reigns, Trump detained.
@MLClark "big ass meteor destroys all, JK" jk might be cheating lol
@MLClark remember remember the fifth of November

Harris defeats Trump without a contest.
Harris wins, MAGA sees the light, @MLClark
I love that the second part can be taken two ways. ๐ The first way is better, obviously, but the ambiguity makes your story art.

@MLClark
Harris landslide, Trump flees to Hungary.
๐ฌ Doesn't Hungary have enough problems?
@MLClark
It does. I was trying to think of which dictator buddy Trump would trust the most if the petal hit the metal.
Loser loses. Leaves us alone forever.
"Sandwiches for everyone," says President Harris
And lo! As the sun rose on a new day in the United States of America, kith and kin gathered in peace and in song, and ate cheese or sprout sandwiches together on their porches and lawns. ๐๐ค๐ป
๐ I was leaving a vegan option, but yes!!!
@MLClark It's over. Nothing too wild happened.
@MLClark "Aliens land to solve our problems."
Can you imagine the letters they'd be sending home about us? ๐ฌ

TRUMP DROPS OUT, DEFECTS TO MOSCOW
President Camacho wins fifth consecutive term!
@MLClark President, Senate, House Democratic Clean Sweep.
@MLClark
Losing gave him a fatal aneurysm.
The blue wave is undeniable.
@MLClark Trump apologizes, making a full confession.
@MLClark Kamala wins defeating maga, making history.
