He likes the perception of power more than power itself. He declares victory, gets it ‘stolen’ and then is ‘forced’ to leave. He then starts a media company or something.
He’ll lose MI, WI, and AZ. That’s enough to tip Biden over the edge
The true showmanship move would be “well, if you’re going to cheat, I’m not even going to play” and go home. Then Trump will literally become too pure for decadent America and things get reeeeeeeal bad.
If he was actually a smart fascist this is what he would do. It would be far easier for them to recruit if they maintained some false semblance of moral high ground and continued to paint Biden as a “degenerate” and also having the subtext of a woman of color in power to draw on that same Obama racial resentment that propelled shit like the Tea Party into power in the first place. Even if he doesn’t seize that opportunity I fully expect the actual fascists to run with that sort of narrative if Biden wins.
Except for his fathers love.
Also I don’t think he will ever admit defeat. I don’t see him willingly leaving the Presidency.
I think this is possible.
The one thing libs do not think about is that after Trump is gone from the white house, he’s technically not out of their hair forever. Over 67 million people in this country voted for him. He’s a LOT more popular than they say on the TV and mainstream media…
He’s in a position to pretty much replace Rush Limbaugh as the new conservative media personality who has a cult following. Dems lost the Senate and are hanging on barely in the House while Biden is also going to scrap through a close win for the white house. All this is setting up perfectly for the GOP in 2022 and going to 2024. They’ll most likely sweep 2022 midterms and then for the next far right reactionary movement coming in 2024, Trump TV will be there to cheer it all on.
People are really this afraid of America turning into a dictatorship when it was previously a… checks notes… oligarchy.
he will probably make a backend deal that they will pardon him and his fam and he will go away without discrediting the whole system
