"Through public remarks, Truth Social screeds and more than 100 preemptive lawsuits, Donald Trump is assembling a detailed catalog of excuses for rejecting the results of the 2024 election — if he loses,” Axios reports.

“The Trump-aligned efforts to overturn the 2020 election — both overtly and covertly, peacefully then violently — shocked the American public. No one should be surprised this time around.”

“The former president, who risks jail time and more criminal trials if he loses, has expanded his range of baseless attacks on U.S. voting procedures in recent weeks and months.”

If all of this is so known why is he allowed to keep operating? Bad precedent.

Very little of this is a crime. The system was built by people who felt shame, Trump does not and is therefore immune to this backlash as his followers believe his lies.

Bad president*

Hopefully it’s to allow more evidence to pile up. If he loses and goes nuclear, that’ll be all they need. So maybe they’re giving him enough water to sink himself in.

Those internal polls must really suck balls

Yeah this isn't st all a good sign for them. They don't believe in mandates so this isn't to get a lead and they are lazy, they wouldn't do this much if they didn't absolutely think they would need it.

This has been their plan for 4+ years, regardless of polls. They've been actively trying to infiltrate elections bureaucracy with MAGA zealots for that long.

Can we not elect any more Cluster B personality disorders going forward? Please.

Their hopelessly entrenched in an alternative reality basic approach to the world is toxic enough on the regular lives scale. With the presidency we get crap like this.

Don't worry! This will be the last time/election.
