This one's got me biting my nails. I wish that thinking this election may be stolen by the right-wing felt like a paranoid delusion, but based on considerable evidence from reasonably credible sources, it feels very possible. I'm worried, too, that no matter who is President for the next four years, we're going to be facing deeper and deeper divisions in this country. We really need to do something about that.

Be careful what you wish for. In Ursula K LeGuinn's "The Lathe of Heaven" the protagonist George Orr wishes for more cooperation between nations. His dream comes true in the form of an invading alien race that scares us into working together.

Yeah, we can do it without alien invasions, I hope.
