Implosion in Georgia

 To be honest, it feels surreal to be living through today. An insurrection at the US Capitol (with one fatality) that disrupted the conduct of business. The Republican Party of Virginia (or at least individual leaders) are condemning the President in his last two weeks of office.

Both US Senate seats in Georgia appear to be going to Democrats Warnock, and yes, Ossoff. The latter seemed to exude the white privilege that has come under scrutiny in recent years: come from money, fail upwards, and be confident that you’re right, even at 33 years of age. (Yes, even Joe Kennedy III hit the wall this year). For him to win is nothing short of an implosion in the Peachtree State. Outgoing President Trump did everything to cause chaos during the campaign, and apparently some of his loyalists sat out this special election in protest.
