A key indicator of how long Trump will continue to resist the reality of losing the election will be the size of the crowd and its "nature" in the streets of Washington DC today. If it is "enormous" in his and the media's (CNN would no longer be "fake" news if they so reported huge crowd numbers and highly beligerent intentions) reporting on it, he will continue to resist. If it flops tomorrow, is small and made up uniquely of violent "Proud Boys" etc, then his slide into depression will accelerate. He will probably at that point not concede personally as it is beyond him. He will nolonger stop the process going forward as people will "suffer the bully less kindly" and just get on with it while he wails and shakes his fist ...but does nothing but sulk.

"O, what a tangled web we weave when first we practise to deceive!" Walter Scott

Except that this is not his first, nor second, nor third! However, all that he has done for the past 4 years comprise his "first" as the leader of our country! He has lied, cheated, embezzled, and bamboozled his way through our rights, liberties, and our dignity. Basta! No more, Mr. 🍊 Demon! Your game is up! You have destroyed us and now it's time for our courts to destroy you!

Do I sound vengeful and angry? You betcha! But my heart aches for the gentle souls we have lost during this pandemic, and all we will continue to lose, because you do not care, have never cared, and will be never do so!
