I mean I'm dubious that he'll be taken seriously as well, especially since the situation inherently means that he's lost significant legitimacy, but I'm assuming nothing. Let the history books be the ones to smugly declare how pointless his strategy was since they'll have the benefit of hindsight.

Which is part of the reason why when Trump flips electors (which is constitutional btw) and wins his election fraud cases in the Supreme Court it’ll take a thousand times the George Floyd outrage to get him out of office.

When the United States Secretary of State openly tells you there’s not going to be a transition even after losing of the election you got a real problem on your hands.

It’s time to face reality people.

Today’s history books still use the phrase Jacksonian Democracy without irony.

It's just such a prissy bitch move to lose an election and just flat out say "nope" to the process that has taken place since this country was born.

It's pathetic.

Damn you're a boojie ass bitch tbh

It's not "prissy" to try to steal an election.

It's called strategy.

The Trump administration has carried out sweeping changes atop the Defense Department's civilian leadership structure, removing several of its most senior officials and replacing them with perceived loyalists to the President.

The flurry of changes, announced by the Department of Defense in a statement roughly 24 hours after President Donald Trump fired Defense Secretary Mark Esper, have put officials inside the Pentagon on edge and fueled a growing sense of alarm among military and civilian officials, who are concerned about what could come next.

Just a little reality check on the non-violent transition crowd, if anyone still really believes that at this point: Trump can fill the military and the pentagon with anyone he wants and fire anyone he wants until Biden is sworn in. And guess what? Biden isn’t going to be sworn in.

More like a preemptive coup. And both sides will claim it’s one. Hall of mirrors.
