Might as well turn off the whole internet, really.
The FBI is investigating a “Trump Train” incident from Friday, in which a Biden campaign bus was surrounded by a dozen pickup trucks driven by Trump supporters as it traveled down a Texas interstate, according to a report.
The dangerous, caught-on-video highway confrontation led the Biden campaign and state Democrats to cancel multiple Texas events in the battleground state, the Texas Tribune reported.
There was at least one minor collision on the I-35 between a campaign staffer’s car and the caravan of trucks full of flag-waving passengers, according to the Tribune.
Those inside the trucks honked their horns and shouted while surrounding the Biden bus and slowing it down, witnesses told the paper.
Still, the incident was celebrated by President Trump, who tweeted one clip of the confrontation along with his praise: “I LOVE TEXAS!”

You've only got to see the comments below the video to see the divide in the US - half the comments say "the black car hit the white car" while half claim "the white car rammed the black one".
I tend to think the argument is settled by the twitter of the driver of the black truck which said something like "Yeah - that was me slammin' in to that bitch woot woot Trump 2020".

as I've said, I'm not anything like supremely confident of a Biden victory
but I am supremely confident that if Trump does win there will be very few "how could this have happened" headlines
plenty of apocalyptic despair but not shocked post-mortems. we (Americans) got that pretty well all out of our systems last time around.
people will be shell-shocked, but it's hard to think many people will be shocked

Aye. Despite most predictions hovering between 80-90% Biden, places like 538 or NYT or Economist are practically doubling over themselves with warnings/disclaimers on their predictions. It's an amusing mirror of Trump's election hedging—"if we get it wrong/lose, it's not our fault!"

the conservative district court judge in Texas threw out that GOP lawsuit mentioned in the tweet. it was appealed to federal court for tomorrow but seems like a weak case for the GOP lawyers.

trump on record telling people his plan is to claim premature victory on Tuesday night if he's leading or close in the key battlegrounds. the secretary of state in Pennsylvania also said they are accepting any ballot postmarked by Election Day and probably won't be finished counting them until Thursday or Friday.

Yeah, I've lost count of all the articles I've seen titled something like "Biden's ahead, but here's how Trump could still win."

Nor me. Even discounting all the voter suppression and other fraudulent crap the Republicans are engaged in. Yes, the polls put Biden consistently ahead, but I think it's quite likely a lot of people are lying to pollsters, being ashamed of voting Trump but intending to vote Trump anyway.
