whoa...watching MSNBC, they start showing Trump press conference. Right off the bat, he saying that according "to the legal vote, we have won" and all the post-election night votes are "illegal"...and the network cut away and went back to the news team back in the studio! He spoke for about 30 seconds before they cut him off and said the aren't going to broadcast untruths. crazy.
apparently another new talking point is the polls showing biden ahead all summer were fraudulent to try and discourage his supporters from voting. the polls might have been off, but geez. he's just look for anyone to blame, besides himself.

For four years he has been able to live in a totally alternate reality, say what he wants and, at least with a large number of his supporters that has worked to create a world for them to inhabit together. Finally it looks as though that approach is no longer working and Trump is about to lose his battle against reality.

he obviously picked this moment to speak bc it's his last chance to cast doubt before Biden definitively pulls ahead
major media/social media outlets finally saying "look, this motherfucker is crazy and we're not perpetuating his baldfaced lies" is a good thing
I'm sure it will only harden the resolve of his fanatical base but you're not going to reach those people no matter how much evidence you produce

well yeah of course that's always been the concern
the really important thing is that the military very publicly opted out of any kind of involvement
I'm sure with precisely this in mind, and the recent memory of Trump's martial law threats over the summer
that really limits the damage that can be done. it takes that kind of qanon fever dream apocalyptic war off the table.
a lot of bad things could still happen tho

I don't think that will actually happen - the refusing to leave office. the shooting people might, with so many bros in tactical gear running around.
but if the military did have to remove him from office, it wouldn't be intervening in an election, it would be preventing a coup against a lawfully elected President.
