Somewhat serious, it would probably lead to a civil war in this country. I mean even now; the man hasn't conceded even though he has lost the election by over 14 points (so a landslide). His family and supporters still think that "God will lead him to victory."

But the nightmare scenario is that he would do a lot of unpopular things in the state, particularly for Philly, its suburbs, and Pittsburgh. He puts a sycophant in as the election general, does everything in his power to make PA unwinnable for Democrats. Kills the public school system. Philly and Pitt get pissed, and do a coup either with soft power to remove him from office, or literally is removed from his seat from Harrisburg. Chaos ensues since the GoP gets mad. Civil War 2.0 follows. US gets balkanized.

So in many ways, Shapiro's win saved the country. But like I said, this is just a what if nightmare scenario. There is a reason why Mastriano lost by the margin he did.

Does not matter if that dingus concedes. The results are clear: he lost bigly.

Yeah, conceding is just a sing of courtesy. Shapiro is Governor no matter what.
