Two Weeks of Conventions, Dozens of Speeches, So Many Videos. What Just Happened?

7. The Next Few Months

Take a deep breath.

We don’t have any more savvy observations about the dumb conventions, so we’ll use this final spot as a PSA: Please, reader, prepare yourself for the next few months. You thought the past six months stuck in your house worried about the plague and chaos and cops in your neighborhood were anxiety-inducing? Add “the final couple of months of an election in which four additional years of President Donald Trump will be on the line” to your list of stressors. The polls will tighten. And then there will be weeks after the election when the vote counts will still be in flux. It will soon start getting cold, too. It will get dark at 5 in the afternoon. Cold, dark, the coronavirus, regular flu, cooped up, protests, riots, tear gas, cops, debates, Donald Trump, provisional ballots. The broken mail system. Florida. Learn some breathing exercises, maybe?
