Just today the creep told his supporters that he never should have left the White House. He said it in a way that made it sound like he had a choice.<\/p>\n
I wonder whether he really believes he had a choice. Maybe he’s thinking “I should not have been so nice when they politely invited me to leave.” Which begs the question — if he really believes, as he keeps saying, that he won four years ago, why didn’t he just stay? Was he forced to leave even though he had won?<\/p>\n
That sequence of events only makes sense if you believe that the entire apparatus of our democratic voting system is a sham and a fraud. That there has been a vast conspiracy to deny that man his rightful victory. An enormous conspiracy with everyone in on it — our elected officials, the Press, the many thousands of volunteers at election venues who have never met each other — all coordinating to create a make-believe election result.<\/p>\n
If people are willing to believe something like that, then they are willing to believe anything. So I suspect that if the creep loses in a few days, he might manage to convince a lot of people that the fix was in the whole time, and that the only remaining choice may be violent insurrection.<\/p>\n
