With sports like football and especially hockey, adrenaline fueled a lot of things. Getting into fights or having issues with opposing players goes hand in hand with Hockey. Fights are the norm. With politics, one should expect a small degree of civility. Most often, that's not the case.

I went to the voting place today. Contrary to what everyone was told to be very afraid of in the headlines. There were no, fights or arguments. In fact people were quite cordial.
When I left, I didn’t see any cars turned over, nothing was on fire, no vandalism. I didn’t see any fascists or nazis tearing down democracy or the constitution. No republicans and democrats were bashing each other’s heads in. Didn’t see any riots, no bands of roving thugs or hooligans. There were no armed guards or police patrols in riot gear. All the Qanon/Blueanon party fanboys and extremists we were told were everywhere must have the day off because I didn’t see them either.
Worst part of the day was when I forgot to stop at the grocer on the way home.
I did just learn of another catch phrase/slogan. Now we have be wary and afraid of “competitive authoritarianism”.
