      We get it. Nothing short of Republicans firing on Ft. Sumter is cause for concern.

      What I am trying to get across to you is that your understanding of what is driving the U. S. political situation is fundamentally out of sync with the main drivers. That means you are underestimating the risks here.

      I get it, three coups before breakfast and another for lunch. But I bet you the formal Electoral College vote on Monday goes on unimpeded and without a fuss, and on through the swearing in and so on

      You have a very weird definition of "without a fuss."

          The fuss here is political theater targeted at a specific audience. When I go to see a play and someone gets shot in Act IV, my decision about whether to call 911 is going to depend very heavily about whether it takes place on stage or out in the audience.

          The part that's dangerous here is that the fuss is part of a feedback loop happening. The fuss is created to placate the specific audience. But the fuss *further upsets* that audience, creating larger demands.
