He has his cult convinced the election is illegitimate.

Donald Trump is trying to discredit an election he is losing
Joe Biden has won the presidency. But the current president of the United States, Donald Trump, is attempting a coup in plain sight. "I WON THIS ELECTION, BY A LOT!" he tweeted on Saturday morning. This came after he demanded that states cease counting votes when the total began to turn against him, after his press secretary shocked Fox News anchors by arguing that legally cast votes should be thrown out.

The Trump administration's current strategy is to go to court to try and get votes for Biden ruled illegitimate, and that strategy explicitly rests on Trump's appointees honoring a debt the administration, at least, believes they owe. One of his legal advisers said, "We're waiting for the United States Supreme Court - of which the President has nominated three justices - to step in and do something. And hopefully Amy Coney Barrett will come through."

If that fails, and it will, Mark Levin, one of the nation's most popular conservative radio hosts, is explicitly calling on Republican legislatures to reject the election results and seat Donald Trump as president anyway. After Twitter tagged the tweet as contested, Trump's press secretary weighed in furiously on Levin's behalf.

That this coup probably will not work - that it is being carried out farcically, erratically, ineffectively - does not mean it is not happening, or that it will not have consequences. Millions will believe Trump, will see the election as stolen. The Trump family's Twitter feeds, and those of associated outlets and allies, are filled with allegations of fraud and lies about the process (reporter Isaac Saul has been doing yeoman's work tracking these arguments, and his thread is worth reading). It's the construction of a confusing, but immersive, alternative reality in which the election has been stolen from Trump and weak-kneed Republicans are letting the thieves escape.

Sounds like what the dems were doing in 2016, doesn't it? But there is one key diference, isn't there?

Key Difference: The Trump campaign actually was full of criminals and was openly welcoming the foreign interference that actually occurred.

Are his surrogates actually calling on GOP state legislatures to ignore the voice of the people and just appoint pro trump electors? If they did that would be the end of the country as we know it.

I'm saving my judgment to see what the courts have to say. The media doesn't decide who wins an election.

In a football game, you wouldn't tell players to keep playing if flags are on the field during a critical play. You wouldn't tell the players to keep playing and you will come back in two weeks to review the play. You also wouldn't say, this year, we aren't going to stop the game at the end of the 4th quarter. Just keep playing until we tell you to stop.

It will all be litigated. The problem is that most of these details should have been ironed out well in advance of this election. If there were serious issues with the way votes were being counted then the count should have been stopped at that time until the issues were resolved.

That's not a flag on the field, it's a greasy McDonalds napkin.

Not according to multiple investigations. We shall if that is the case here. I see that you have gone over to the conspiracy nut side. Congratulations.

It's not serious, they know the silly lawsuits are all going to be dismissed as without grounds.
They just need to keep the base riled up in GA for a couple months.
Nothing does that belter these days than Trump lying loudly.

Qniper, "It will all be litigated."

What the fuck you talking about Qotard? There isn't an "all". There isn't an "anything". There is what trump and the Qotard movement is. "Nothing"

The litigation threat was seen as a means. It has not produced any benefit to Trump. His lawyers have been been getting hammered by judges. All of this expensive too. It's not going to produce any benefit to Trump.

Their largest claim - 3,000 fake votes - is a complete farce. They are from out of state college students and out of state military. All are 100% legal.

People are sick of the Trump bullshit and this is only going to make it worse. Four years of crying wolf is getting ready to bite him in the ass.

There are a lot of advantages to waiting until the evidence comes in. It is a good way to avoid of making a fool out of yourself. For good or ill, progs cannot seem to grasp this principle. And that is one reason why they are universally regarded as fools.

10 lawsuits have been thrown out. The smoking guns are wet paper towels. Trump is panicking in an effort to keep his fat dotard ass out of jail.

But then we have Biden himslef admitting that he had the most extensive election fraud organization in the history of American politics. And, it looks like he was telling the truth for once.
