The people clearly voted against him. At last count, he was behind by slightly more than six million votes.
He wants state legislators to force electors to vote for him. He has met personally with Republicans from Michigan, with plans to meet with those Republicans from Pennsylvania, also.
He is in the middle of his psychotic autocrat dream. He wants a coup. Mostly, he wants to win. It really doesn't matter how he wins, so long as he wins. He doesn't think about any concession.
Republican leaders are doing everything they can do to appease him. But, he has them by the testicles. It is torturous. It is embarrassing that they do not have the courage to rid themselves of this loser.

He is losing all of his court battles. And nothing is off course at this point in time. What else should we be doing that wouldn't feed into his madness and undo our democracy anyway?
I keep reading people saying we need to do something. What something? Our leaders are speaking out and our votes are being certified.
