yes. At the same time the people who seem to be most loudly saying this may not all be fine (i don't just mean on the internet a couple of my closest real life humans) are ones who have lived though the sudden and unexpected end of stability in their counties.
Yeah not sure how that works but I'm not surprised CA is last, they take longest to count

You make a good point here. There's a lot of Yazidis and Sudanese where I live. It look my Sudanese refugee neighbors at least a year before they'd walk from the house to the car without holding tight to their children. Its been interesting watching them become Americanized and slowly relax into living here. I have no idea what they think of all this.

To my family who chose Trump over me: Was it worth it? | CNN
After the election of Joe Biden, Richard L. Eldredge reflects on how political rancor prompted beloved family members to unfriend and ostracize him over the last four years and asks them: Was your blind loyalty to President Donald Trump, a person you've never met, worth burning our family to the...www.cnn.com
That is such a good read, but also so sad.

I think it will peter out for Trump as his support gradually abandons him. Not because they will see that Trump is damaging the the country and governing it badly, but because it will only become clearer that he is in a weak position and time is running out for them and him. He relies on image and bluster, a sales pitch. I doubt he has many actual friends. That might hold together when he can convince enough people that he is making America 'great again', but when his claims fall apart over the next two months, it's over. Right now there are a great number who believe him, and will continue do so for the time being. And it may well get more fraught in the coming weeks. But if Biden acts 'presidential' in the meantime and has the television networks in support of his legitimacy, people will want an end to it. Trump will have lost any authority. Then what can Trump do? Twitter tantrums? Is any outcome certain from this point with what we know? I would say it would take something extraordinary for Trump to get away with any kind of coup. Biden just has to keep from making some equally extraordinary balls-up until he is sworn in. With or without Trump's approval.
Two more for you:
South Dakota:
Trump 261,043 (61.8%)
Biden 150,471 (35.6%)

Vermont:
Biden 242,820 (66.1%)
Trump 112,704 (30.7%)
9.0 point swing against Trump
16.6% increase in votes cast

So, so sad.Trump's going to swing it with these last results you're announcing
It would appear that Ol' Miss is one of the few states to swing towards Trump. Even Alabama looks like it's seen a 2 point swing towards Biden
Mississippi: making Alabama look good since 1817
These are in fact the FIRST results! Six states have now certified, giving Donald Trump a 22-6 electoral college leadTrump's going to swing it with these last results you're announcing

Nebraska is seriously Trumpy. It looks pretty much unchanged:
2016 Trump 59.89%
Clinton 34.35%
2020 Trump 58.66%
Joe Biden 39.22%
The only way it changed was there were fewer votes for third party candidates in 2020 than there were in 2016. They appeared to have gone for the Democrats. Turnout was quite high. In some districts it was 78%. I'm not surprised at this, considering how many Trump signs and flags were flying.

Didn't Biden get one of the Nebraska EC votes?
Look at the county level results in Mississippi and you'll see almost all the blue counties (including Jackson) are on the west of the state bordering the Mississippi river. Same pattern persists in Kentucky, Arkansas and Louisiana - majority black counties voting Democrat on the banks of the river
Second district. Omaha and suburbs
Yeah, Topeka and Kansas City voted for Joe Biden. Practically nowhere else in the state though

Yes, third party votes seriously down this time - think Howie Hawkins wasn't even on the ballot in a few states wasn't he?
Jo Jorgenson's vote in Georgia (and possibly a handful of other states) far eclipses the difference between the two main candidates. But I guess when third party votes have declined so much this time you could probably argue that those people REALLY wanted to vote for their candidate and not much could have persuaded them otherwise
