ROGER SIMON: Sorry, America. Reconciliation Is a Long Way Off After the Election.

As you can tell from my headline, normally an optimistic person, I?m pessimistic, at least in the short run. It will be a long time before there will be ?bluebirds over the white cliffs of Dover? for the USA?or for the UK for that matter.

Neither side is prepared to accept defeat and reconcile, except perhaps Greg Gutfeld and, as I noted, I?m suspicious.

A monumental Trump victory, dreamed of by the right, staunching the deep wounds created by the dishonesty of the mainstream media during the Mueller investigation, is unlikely to happen, given the polls.

They can?t be THAT wrong, although of course they can and have been erroneous enough to be largely dismissible as propaganda.

A sweeping Biden victory will be looked on as fraud, given the (at best) vagaries of mail-in voting and the immense and fervent Trump crowds.

What we are likely to have is a close, or relatively close, election determined, we can only hope, in a few days. Maybe, just maybe, we will avoid a massive outbreak of violence. Some is, unfortunately, inevitable.

And, yes, a Trump win, especially a narrow one, means more trouble on our streets in the short run.

So how then to return to the halcyon days of that democratic republic of people caring about each other described eloquently so long ago by Alexis de Tocqueville?

Are there enough people who even care?

For those who do, three words of advice: Reform our schools. That?s the most important thing and where you start. And, interestingly, in his recent speeches, Trump seems to know that.

How far off is the reconciliation between left and right? This far: ?Marx says what?? Kamala Harris promotes communism in new video.
