Back in reality:
"Monday was a good day for democracy. First, Michigan’s board of canvassers voted 3-0 with one abstention to certify president-elect Joe Biden’s more than 150,000-vote victory in the crucial swing state. While this should have been a routine ministerial matter of rubber-stamping the state’s vote totals, President Donald Trump had managed to turn it into a high-stakes drama; his pressure campaign had aimed to compel local officials to delay certifying and ultimately overturn Michigan’s election results.
"That effort, one of the Trump campaign’s final gasps to usurp an election he lost by 74 Electoral College votes and more than 6 million votes nationally, has clearly failed.
"The bigger denouement moment, though, came later on Monday, when administrator of the General Services Administration Emily W. Murphy said she would be making transition resources available to the president-elect and his team, after more than two weeks of holding out. The GSA’s release of more than $7 million in funds came 16 days after every major media outlet called the election for Biden and followed a string of calls from Republican senators to make the money available."

You may say:
B-b-b-b-But
TRUMP HASN'T CONCEDED YET!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
No, he hasn't. And he may never.
That was actually my prediction going into this. The signs of Trump's lack of commitment to being judged by anyone least of all the voters weren't exactly hard to read.
But at a certain point, it's not going to matter. The wheels of democracy will keep turning with or without him.
The President does not determine who the next President is.
We do. And we did.
