I think this really is trump's end game. He needs to monetize this failure just like he tries with all of them. He is simply laying what will be the foundation for the next few years. Maybe it is run for the presidency in 2024. Maybe it is groundwork for a TV network. Of course there is also the chance that trump is even more mentally ill than anyone let on and he actually BELIEVES he won but for rampant fraud.
The thing trump and his MAGAts don't seem to grasp is that if he were to be successful in convincing courts to allow him to seize power in a coup this country is over and he presides over next to nothing. And besides, most coup leaders don't live out the year after the coup anyway. So in that case, upside I suppose. And yes, Hovey, so you don't have to read between the lines, I wouldn't mourn trump's demise. I would feel just like I did when I heard bin Laden bought the farm. I wish the covid would have done him in. Even subsequent to the election he poses a threat to this country unlike any we've seen since World War 2 at least. He is an enemy of my county.
