It began on a gold escalator. It may have ended at Four Seasons Total Landscaping.

Rudolph Giuliani, America’s mayor turned Trump’s sloppy fixer, squinted into the autumnal solar at journalists who had assembled outdoors 4 Seasons Whole Landscaping — a selection of location that a number of Trump staffers couldn’t account for, saying that it was the work of the marketing campaign’s Pennsylvania advance workforce. Actually wherever else would have conveyed extra legitimacy on the enterprise, however legitimacy didn’t appear a excessive precedence for one of many final battles of a misplaced warfare.
“Joe Frazier continues to be voting right here — kinda onerous, since he died 5 years in the past,” Giuliani stated in a meandering monologue, referring to the champion boxer for instance of Philadelphia’s unproven election malfeasance. “However Joe continues to vote. If I recall accurately, Joe was a Republican. So perhaps I shouldn’t complain. However we must always go see if Joe is voting Republican or Democrat now, from the grave. Additionally Will Smith’s father has voted right here twice since he died. I dunno how he votes as a result of his vote is secret. In Philadelphia, they preserve the votes of lifeless folks secret.”
As Joe Biden marched slowly to victory final week, the Trump Prepare jackknifed. It raged about suspicious Sharpies in Arizona, about “irregularities” and “anomalies” in Georgia, about weaponized pizza boxes used to obscure democracy in Michigan, about “mathematical impossibilities” in Wisconsin, about ghosts in Philadelphia. What turned clear is that Trump supporters thought Democratic votes, Democratic strongholds and Democratic strategies had been suspicious. Cities had been suspicious. The turnout was suspicious. The mail was suspicious.
In actuality, a preponderance of mailed-in ballots — which had been counted final, in lots of locations — had slowed the method and delayed the inevitability of Biden’s win. Ballot employees had been simply making an attempt to do their civic obligation — extracting, flattening, scanning and counting ballots into the night time — however this was not ok for the president’s supporters. They confirmed up with directions tailor-made to no matter means the tide was shifting.
