Tactical Briefing #11 Hey Jammer, Shop windows are boarded up. National Guard troops are on stand-by. The threat of violence looms over the nation. This is not Colombia, or Nigeria, or Ethiopia: this is America, in the midst of deciding not only who will be its highest official, but whether its fate will be to heal or to fail. The physical and spiritual wellbeing of millions could either be made to mend or further imperiled depending on the outcome. And in the teetering, breath-catching balance hangs the political, economic, and environmental health not just of a once mighty republic but of the entire planet. The tally, too close to call, is still underway. The final count may not be known for days or even weeks — as in the election of 2000, when the Supreme Court confirmed the name of the 43rd president as late as December. But even then, that unusual election was nothing like the present one. The Trump presidency, never mind George W. Bush's, has upended the norms and expectations of democratic society to the point where nothing seems certain and everything is vulnerable to disruption.
In keeping with the vulgarity and upset that has characterized his tenure, Trump, having prematurely called for ballot-casting to halt, has already claimed victory. In other words, as we predicted in Tactical Briefing #2, Trump is trying to steal the election.
Trump's subversion of the rule of law cannot prevail. His disregard for the People's will and sovereignty cannot go unchecked. Depending on the way things pan out in the coming hours, days, and weeks to come, the nation could be either redeemed or undone. There is no in-between.
History is at a crossroads. But what comes next has not yet been written. We the people — you — have the authority and power to change the course.
Now more than ever, your actions count. What will you do?
