Trump supporters know they are losing

They're protesting at polling places around the country, including in Virginia where they have been blocking entrance to the polls.




They are protesting because they KNOW the very act of voting is anti-Trump. They wouldn't be trying to disrupt the election if they thought for a second that people were voting for Trump. They know they are beat.

only prohibits electioneering within 40 feet of the polling place, which I think means the front door. It may still be illegal, but 40 ft is a very short distance.

With a law like that, might just as well let them go inside.

They wouldn't. They know those people are voting for Biden.

It's inevitable. Losing begets more losing. They are circling the drainpipe in a giant vortex of doom. So long suckers.

If you’re opposed to voting, you’re completely un-American, so what are these “protests” about?

In 2016, all the Trump lovers in my extended acquaintance group were basically laughing and crowing in the weeks leading up to the election. "We're so gonna win." "It's over." "I don't know anyone voting for crooked Hillary." Non-stop.

This year, virtual crickets, until the other day on Instagram, I see this. One of the premier Trump-humpers I know who had been crowing and strutting until about mid-summer, posted something like this:

"If Trump wins or if Biden wins, I'm gonna do the same thing: get on with my life. It's not that big a deal."

Believe me, coming from this guy that's more or less priming his friend group to accept a Trump loss. My jaw literally dropped. The energy is ebbing at the margins of MAGA. The only question is whether there's a complete collapse before election day, and he's Bruce Rauner at that point.

is that they revel in their idiocy and hatred of American democracy. Unfortunately, no one needs to pay them.
