Not that. This:seriously ?
I've posted links that should be discussed. get over it.
Well, the election is over, and Trump lost. There is no way that the things that Trump is doing now change the result, and TBH I don’t think that is what he is trying to do. I think he is trying to delegitimise the election, and essentially get a lot of people in America to no longer believe in democracy. On that score he seems to be being fairly successful.
Yes. But not because I like Trump, I despite guy. Until he is actually out of the Whitehouse and Biden is in the Whitehouse I do think it is uncertain how this plays out.
I think it is more likely that Trumps support starts to ebb after the states start certifying the results and he slinks off to his golf course and holds court there.
But I think there still an active chance he refuses to accept the result and refuses to vacate the Whitehouse. What happens then. Constitutional crisis? Biden setting up government in a different building not the Whitehouse? Prolonged standoff. The military seem to have indicated they would not support Trump if the election is certified for Biden, but can you imagine armed forces entering the Whitehouse to remove Trump if he is still claiming to be President? Don’t think I can.
Still as I said, most likely his support starts to ebb and he slinks away.
