It's just another Trump delusion that they have to spend time and money chasing around only to prove how absurd is what in the first place
It is not being ignored but the end is predictable

(14,061 posts)Being mealy-mouthed about accepting the election results in order to save the Georgia seats. People have been reading all sorts of subtexts in to what hes saying, but its clear hes feeding Trumps delusions to save his own ass.
Despicably craven.

(12,568 posts)It doesn't matter to them whether they destroy America or even the entire world, so long as they are the ones who end up with permanent power. I think McConnell's speech yesterday proved that.
Trump can't do it by himself; he has to have the help of the entire GOP. That's why virtually no Repugs will congratulate Biden on his win. Even after every one of the states have certified their votes the Repugs will find some other reason to question the validity of the election and keep Trump in the WH.
However there are more of us than there are of them. And we're more determined to protect our Constitution.

(31,507 posts)Is he just trolling us? Why does it seem that Republicans are going along with this? Are they just trying to humor him until the day he has to be dragged out of the White House kicking and screaming?
If someone had told me that this would ever happen in the US, I would have laughed in their face. Now it's playing out before our eyes.

(6,338 posts)It just always amazes me when I say this for friends, they look at me and say "nah - he would never do that". I'm like what f'ing world have you been in for the past 4 years. Every damn day you say "he wouldn't do that"...he does it AND MORE.
I worked for a guy like him and a good friend's ex is exactly like him...believe me there is nothing on god's green earth he will not sacrifice to maintain his narcissistic supply...it is more important than money, more important than family, more important than country and in fact, likely more important than oxygen. He's like your worst junkie nightmare craving that next hit...what will he sell, who will he hurt, what will he steal for that next hit.
Think about it in the context of "what will you do as the last step to avoid death?" Movies like 27 Hours (cut your arm off) or Alive (cannibalism)...they all seem like science fiction to those of us never in those situations. And we all watch saying "I would never do that". I certainly do...but I also realize that when I'm looking down the pipe at my last breath, it's likely I will do things I've never imagined for that next breath.
That's where DJT is...and if he's not there yet, he can see if from here. There is nothing he will not burn down for that next hit of adulation.
Don't ever underestimate where the bottom is because normal folks probably can't see that deep. But it's way way down there, that's for sure.

(51 posts)But if they do I have faith that the American people won't tolerate it....at least the ones that voted for Joe. I fully expect Trumps nutbag supporters to back this coup.

And it will drive us mad. It's meant to.

(17,471 posts)Trump wants to pretend that the election didn't happen and the Republicans won't call him out on it.
Violent or not, this is a coup in progress.
