Constitution in the last four years and they are continuing to do that now with Trump unwilling to concede and people like Lindsey trying to cheat and suppress votes.
In 2016 Trump was surprised that he actually won the presidency. In 2020 Trump was surprised that he lost the presidency. I'm sure that he was assured that he would win and stay in office. That the fix was in. That the Repugs had things wired around the country to give him the win.
Hell he was so sure - that he even went as far as saying that the Repugs were going to win back the House.
However, the animosity against Trump was so great that it turned out a record number of voters and as a result - all the suppressing and cheating that they did was not enough to give them the win.
I guess I'm really worried that because they are so relentless - that they will actually succeed. Trump and the Repugs don' play by the rules. They make up their own rules to suit their needs. We Dems have been stung by this many times over the last 4 years and it seems like we have still not learned our lesson.
Trump and the Repugs play dirty and are never embarrassed by their blatant, out in the open tactics. Now more than ever I think the Dems need to play on the level of the Repugs.
Am I being too paranoid when I say that Trump and the Repugs won't stop trying to continue to exploit loopholes and do all they can until they find some way, shape or form to overturn the results of the 11/3 election and keep Trump in office?
Please talk me down and say that this won't happen.

Trump's leaving ; he's just trying to cause as much damage as possible before he leaves.

(292 posts)His cadre off ass lickers and ball fondlers can keep up this facade that there is some miracle legal maneuver that will overthrow an election that he lost by over 5 million votes and 74 electoral votes to appease the big baby's ego if they want to. But the end result will be the same. His ass is out the door by January 20th. How embarrassing he wants that exit to be is up to him. He can walk out on his own or force President Biden to issue an order to have his ass dragged out if he wants. Again, either way the end result is the same. Although one of those two would be funnier to watch,

(13,941 posts)Trump will be out of office on Jan 20th, 2021. All of his lawsuits are failing. Even if a few of them succeeded and managed to get through the appeals process, it wouldnt be enough to overturn the election. The Roberts Supreme Court is not interested in throwing the election to Trump. Theres no way electors can flip to Trump due to laws that prevent it. The GOP cant change those laws after the fact.
Dont lose sleep over this, Trump WILL be gone soon and Biden can begin to undo his damage.
