It&#8217;s over. On Monday, the Electoral College officially casts their votes. I still don&#8217;t trust Trump, so I wouldn&#8217;t be surprised by him trying some other nonsense. [<em>Ed note from Brad: Wait for what will happen on January 6th when Congress is supposed to accept the results. It will be a very long day.<\/em>]\n<p>I also worry about his cult of followers. They&#8217;re nuts, as is he. Please be careful out there. Or don&#8217;t go out there.
