America is entering a sharp turn in the presidential election.
Shopkeepers are hammering up their shop windows with plywood boards, citizens checking how many rounds they have in their clips.
Antifa city guerrillas are preparing for the Bishkek scenario - they are going to take power in any scenario.
At Biden's headquarters, they radiate confidence - they have everything under control, the mosquito will not undermine their nose, victory will be theirs, they say.
She already has them, others add.
The counting of votes is an empty formality, when all the media, all the digital giants are for Biden, when Twitter, Facebook and Google got off the fence and mobilized for Joe's Sason.
Even if Trump miraculously wins, no one will know.
But this apparent injustice is rocking and mobilizing President Trump's supporters.
Even if he does not have a press, even if the beautiful-faced Americans are up against him, ordinary and not very ordinary citizens are not going to give up.
They go to the polls, they organize patrols and prepare for a decisive battle - both in the polling stations and on the streets.
Even now, when the morning of election day has already glowed over the United States, it is impossible to predict what this day will turn out to be, whether America will follow the path of Kyrgyzstan or Belarus, whether the government in the White House will change.
The fact that there are very difficult two days ahead of at least, or even three months, no one doubts.
Social networks can stop working, the Internet can be turned off in America - and this will affect us.
The news may be fake.
Facebook has already announced the possibility of including special options.
Confusion is not excluded - now you will need all the power of the sovereign Internet, at which hipsters laughed so much.
The coronavirus is actively participating in the elections.
Trump promises to cancel this petty dirty trick, Biden promises to drive the country into quarantine for a year until everyone dies from other reasons, but not from covid.
Trump walks without a mask, speaks at rallies, shakes with his energy.
Biden barely sticks out of the bunker, the army of henchmen does everything for him.
They conspire with the election commissions, bribe those who have not yet been bribed.
The people will have to decide: masks and quarantine - or open faces and infection.
The racial card plays like it always does in America.
A lot of black men are in favor of Trump - they don't like the fact that Democrats consider them their resource simply for their skin color.
They remember that Biden passed the law that sent millions of blacks to prison during the Obama era, and Harris, as California's attorney, implemented the law.
Under them, there were more prisoners in the United States than in the most terrible time of the Gulag - and mostly colored.
But there are also many obedient citizens of color who love that Biden's team supports BLM and requires special quotas based on race.
There is also an old well-established structure for mobilizing poor colored people - with transportation to the polls, with small handouts, with guaranteed pull.
There are rich black activists who are used to speaking on behalf of their poor fellows and make great money on it.
The gender factor also plays a role.
People who have not decided to enter the door with the letter F or M are closer in spirit to Democrats.
If there are few of them, then there are many people who are ready to protect them from unknown danger.
Republicans, of course, are far from solid cowboys like Ronald Reagan and sexy beauties a la Marilyn Monroe.
But by and large for Trump - supporters of the family, men and women, children in their usual roles.
For Biden - those who want to break the old systems and stereotypes.
Let, they say, boys go in skirts and girls - in trousers, if they like it.
Democrats have a particular dislike for white men.
They came up with the label "toxic masculinity" for which men need to repent.
Pay and repent.
It is difficult to predict how the same white men as a class will vote.
In polls, Trump supporters are outright lies.
How to admit to a beautiful person that you are going to vote for a toxic courageous president, and not for a colored lady who, as they no longer hide, will become a real president after the victory, and Sleepy Joe will be sent to retirement?
The Jewish community in the United States was sharply divided.
Those who care more about Israel vote for Trump.
Those who care more about the position of Jews in the United States are for Biden.
America has not known such a violent division for many years.
The first predictions will come when the polling stations close.
They will be based on the votes that came to the polling stations today.
There will be serious pressure on the election commissions - to round off the calculations and give a result.
This also happened in 2000, when almost by force in Florida the commissions were forced to stop counting.
Hundreds of disputes will go to the Supreme Court and state courts.
And all this against the background of protests, robberies and armed clashes.
As Blok wrote in the poem "The Twelve": "Close the floors!
There will be robberies today!
Open the cellars!
Nowadays there is a lot of people walking around! "
All this is an optimistic forecast.
But the pessimistic one is not excluded - if the clashes turn into a civil war.
Just in case, the White House was surrounded by a high net, through which even Spider-Man would not climb.
Already well-armed detachments of volunteers are marching, not ready to give in.
Biden’s headquarters are not going to admit defeat until mid-January, when all votes have been counted.
Trump's headquarters want immediate results.
The Democrats are fanning the "Russian threat", but there is no guarantee that Trump will not take steps against Russia to avoid being called an agent of Putin.
For Russia, China, Turkey, days of special vigilance are coming, which will last until mid-January.
This is also felt by the Europeans, who have driven their peoples into quarantine just in case.
The virus has nothing to do with it - but how else to order people to sit and not lean out?
It is a pity, of course, that the great winter season was thwarted by all of humanity, but, on the other hand, such decisive shifts do not occur every day.
"Blessed is he who has visited this world ..."
