Other shoe drops. And it's full of.... pancakes?

Election Day came and went, miraculously, with NO right wing intimidation squads at the polls, no Proud Bois carrying guns in the street, and amazingly smooth voting operations. But I've been waiting anxiously ever since for the promised revolution and violence in the streets that the right wing wingnuts have been fulminating about for months. The election was unofficially called on Saturday - nothing. Now it's a week later, and nothing but online frothing and the occasional small counter-protest in response to the joyful celebrations. 

Today is the next anxiety point. Trump's supporters have announced a "Million Maga March" in Washington. Fortunately, DC does not allow guns in their streets and they claim they are ready to contain any violence, but it's the first big anti-election demonstration so you've gotta worry. There is much excitement online, and lots of hashtags. But look what happened to #MillionMAGAMarch! *hee hee*  

Now I'm hungry.

I know, right? And here I am with no pancakes in my house. Mmmm, pancakes.

(And I can scarcely find news coverage of the hundreds or thousands of pro-Trump folks who showed up in DC, four hours into it.)

I found some coverage earlier today. It looked like there were at least a few thousand, although certainly not a million. Mostly peaceful except for a few spats with counter-protestors involving people hitting each other with their signs.

Meanwhile, we decided to celebrate the impromptu Pancake Day by making a savory Dutch Baby for dinner.

Possibly the only good thing about the virulent individualistic far right is their complete inability to organize so much as a potluck, much less a revolution.

I know, they make the Democratic Party look good. P.
