THat may be the Rhinos and GOP in general but surely not Trumps intention
Especially trump
Is interested in spreading doubts
Im following this for the UK so the only skin i have in this is not watching the US go World police again and send millions of refugees into Europe.
Do you really think that is a simple solution?
First, its not even a simple process.
Second, and more importantly, TRUMP WILL NEVER CONCEDE regardless of what a hand recount and signatures matched by experts.
He has no basis to scream fraud, right now. What makes you think that will stop him?
Trump does not actually think he won or that there was fraud. He knows by doing this he keeps his base (cult) right behind him ready to do his bidding and follow him.
I’m not that sure he does believe that, but it’s a minor issue
If he truly believes there was fraud to the extent that he won "bigly" then he is more mentally warped than I even I thought.
I disagree. Trump gained on his numbers everywhere apart from these swing states. A mixture of the stand alone complex and very poor vote checks have cost him this election.
"An interweaving of all key themes suggests that young voters use aspirational identification and attachment to a celebrity to negotiate political messages." It's not about the democratic process, it is about branding.
If you are selling an image, you stay in character.
I get he is a man child who never got told "no" his entire life. I get that his narcissism makes it hard for him to believe that he actually lost the election.
So whether he believe is or not is not terrible relevant. He is still screaming 4 years later that he actually won the popular vote in 2016, that he had the largest inaugural crowd in history, and that God parted the clouds on that raining day at his inauguration when he walked to the podium.
And THIS is the guy that we think will accept the results of signature matching (which is not an exact scientist and leading experts can disagree)
I mean... come on
That is not the product he is selling, no.
It would be Jeremy Clarkson on a bicycle.
No, 31 lol
If one wants to understand Trumpism, one has to understand the silent political revolution of the early 2000s.
The shift from ideology to idol.
You analyse the popualtion, and their tendencies, and you find a person able to cater to a significant segment of them.
Not to mention.... his cult members.
Go back pre-election and watch news clips of his supporters being interviewed about if they will trust the results if he loses:
I saw hundreds of interviews where they said that if he lost it would be rigged, but if he won then it was "perfect."
No one said "Well, we will have to see if there is anything suspicious". Nope, they flat out let us know that they will go into it thinking a loss for Trump equals fraud. A win for Trump equals perfect.
The anarchist archetype "Dont tell me what to do - I hate the government - leave me alone" proliferated through the 2010s. Trump was carefully created to sell a product to this group.
Based on their collective profile.
This archetype is unable to trust advice from health professionals, there is no reason they should trust an election. The Trump(c) mirrors this.
And this is a point that lots of people gloss over. The Democrats got their ass handed to them in Senate and House races and in State races.
I come from a very Republican family. I live in a very Republican State and masses of those Republics voted for Biden because of CoVid and that first Debate.
This is why I think Trump would have slaughtered Bernie. I really do... Which is exactly why he tried so hard in his campaign to tie Biden to Bernie.
@JD~Jordan I rather suggest they voted "not-Trump" than Biden.
Sounds accurate.
It's the one situation when you want a mr.Nobody to sell your product, its when the opponent has alienated more than half of the crowd buying.
The best time to sell a KIA is when the Mercedes dealer across the street insists on insulting 3 out of 4 customers entering his lot.
At the end of the day I do think Trump is shitty person but all I care about is not going to war. The past 4 years have been great .The previous 8 years of Biden in office was a shit show of insurgency .
@mattiegk, you just advanced to level 2!
at this point I think you have the choice between a war and a world of multinational companies replacing the role of countries.
Im not sure which one I like less.
Lobotomy?
@blaisenguns, you just advanced to level 3!
Cognitive bias is eliminated by schooling.
Another one?
Yeah... you are correct. They voted not FOR Biden but checked his name as a vote AGAINST Trump. Which would not have happened with Bernie or Hilliary.
Heck... even that little old widowed lady that her dead husband got accused of voting in Georgia said that:
They asked her how she voted and she said first said "Biden - well not as much for him but against the other guys (meaning Trump)"
People are missing the fact that masses of old school Republicans not only didnt vote for Trump but wanted him out so bad they held their nose and voted for Biden.
