Yup, from what she's said, like TFG, she'll still be insisting she somehow "won" two years from now. Rhiannon12866 Nov 2022 #8

and is calling for a re-do of AZ elections. He was doing that before this announcement

I think that he will try to stir up a rebellion in AZ, but it won't work.

He's proven at all that comes out of his mouth are fantasies and lies, over and over and over. He needs to be consigned to one huge mistake of history...

that we'd see a repeat of the denialism and violence of 2020 in places where Dems won.

But the Dem wins are so broad that Trump and his supporters are just perceived as lunatic losers. So I don't think that he will be able to arouse much of a reaction against our wins.

However, there is still an ongoing threat to democracy among Republicans who are ready to dump Trump but who have the same ideas and agendas of racism, anti LBGTQ, and misogyny. So we can't get complacent just because TFG is becoming a has been.

Election denial - as well as the ideas of bigotry and misogyny that you named are the basic tenets of today's Republican party - thanks to TFG.

She’ll have to lead her fellow “Patriots” down to the state Capitol, beat up police, erect a gallows, crap on the floor and make more displays of conservative values for all the world to see.

Probably not. Seems like the knuckleheads are shying away from the denialism nonsense for the most part. It kinda backfired on them this time around.

And not at all capable of introspection or empathy, regarding how their childish behavior affects voters.
