I did a five-card line asking the question: "What will next Monday's Electoral College vote mean for Donald Trump's provisional victory?" using the Gilded Reverie.
Mice + Fox + Fish + Clover + Rider
I read the first two cards as showing on-going attempts to "unravel" (Mice) the original outcome by instilling "faithlessness" (Fox) in a sufficient number of Republican electors to turn the tide. The conventional idea of a "stressful job" (personally, I don't see Fox as "job") could reflect the uncomfortable position of the electors.
One meaning of Fox + Fish is "financial fraud," making me wonder whether, in addition to the public harassment presently being visited on electors, there might not be some bribery attempts.
Fish + Clover gives the idea that the current economic surge may be playing in Trump's favor in the minds of the electors. I'm convinced his "acting presidential" in this area before he has the clear mandate to do so is aimed at implanting this notion.
Clover + Rider is "good news," plain and simple. This seems to align with the general view that the effort to swing the prize away from Trump is a long-shot. Since Clover is "small luck" compared to the Sun's "big luck," I believe Trump will lose some ground but not enough to make a difference.
I was careful to construct the question so it wouldn't be open-ended (as in "What will happen?"). Thoughts? (Please leave your personal biases behind; I'm not interested in debating politics, only what's "in the cards.")
ETA: I just noticed that this thread is in the wrong sub-form; I've asked Lee to move it.
