    I can 100% guarantee that he absolutely will not accept a loss of any kind ever. He is literally incapable of it.

      The thin silverlining to that scenario is he’s not president/commander in chief and can’t have his goons lower security so his rioters can get in.

        What if I told you that his goons still hold plenty of official positions in government security?

        Nah. Instead, he has a supreme court that could rule to let it go to the states who would not change who is in charge, thus meaning he gets to win, all on an election challenge saying Kamala cheated

        (I really, REALLY hope the peeps saying this are wrong, I’m Canadian so don’t have the fullest grasp of the intricacies of the US election system and what happens if the Supreme Court sides with whoever claims the winner cheated)

          Pretty solid. The supreme court only gets a say on a case thst gets to them, which is to say while they have a ton of sway, they’re still a court. Someone has to file a suite, and it has to then be appealed (because neither side in a suite like that is going to NOT appeal). Each time you appeal it moves “up the chain” of a specific judicial circuit. While the circuits were meant to be more of geographical admin thing, the Trump presidentancy saw McConnell absolutely jam pack a circuit with shitty judges. The shenanigans during the document trial with Judge Cannon are a perfect example.

          So they’d have to start with an actual suite. But that could be something as small as “in one polling place we found a Harris sign 99ft from the entrance!” (in the US it has to be 100ft). Normally that would be laughed out of court, but if the judge agrees the judge agrees. Then you appeal, and… Well…
