From pretty much the point it became clear Biden had beaten Trump, I’ve been frustrated with his supporters (including some acquaintances) who insist that we can’t be certain that the swing states will certify Biden as the winner of their slates, that the Electoral College will certify Biden, that Pence will certify the slates, and that Biden will be inaugurated, until it has all actually happened.
They seem to regard events that are >99% certain to happen as if they were mere 50-50 coin flips. Almost like saying, “We can’t be sure the Sun is going to rise tomorrow morning until or unless it does.” Any response I give to refute them is countered with, well it hasn’t happened yet so how can you be sure it won’t?
What is a suitable way to get through?
