    I watched John Stewart’s speech at the end of the election coverage and thought he made a good point: there will be a lot of talking heads on TV and the internet who are willing to say with absolute certainty why Trump won and why Harris lost and what this means going forward, but the truth is that no one really knows. They’re just saying whatever gets them paid, gets them on TV, gets their book published, or gets them into a political office of their own.

    When we have a retrospective of this whole affair in 10 or 20 years, there will be someone among the sea of thousands of opinions who probably got it right, but call it a lucky guess more than genuine insight.
