The avalanche of voters who did not want to waive their right to vote, the multiplication of platforms to do so (early vote, postal vote and in-person vote on the scheduled day), the inability of the electoral system to respond (also because of the pandemic) and the ‘cases’ that occur in the most diverse geographies of the country, have thrown over the American presidentials a blanket of uncertainty that can take a long time to dissipate.
Amid the astonishment with which the observers in particular and the world in general observe the agitation that has taken over the United States, the still president Donald Trump appears as the only one that guarantees some predictability: he promised that he would sell the defeat dearly, said that he would use the whole spectrum of possibilities that the law puts in his hands to fight against defeat and guaranteed that he would block everything that could prevent him from staying in the White House. As has almost always been the case, Trump is keeping his promise: he said that, in the event of any doubt, he would wreak havoc on the presidential candidates and that is precisely what he is doing – under no circumstances should he be accused of being rash, inconsistent or misleading. At most, he will go down in history as a furious supporter of bad faith litigation – but that was already known and these are not the accounts that are being made at this moment.
