They already believe he's the messiah and has a divine right to rule. They'll put on a coronation for him if they can.

Biden will be sworn in 1/20, and they can either live with it or leave the country.

right in front of us. One second after the last poll closes, Trump will make a grand stage entrance and proclaim he has won his second term.

The howls of outrage won't matter, the rules and procedures won't count, the norms and traditions won't withstand Trump's vociferous word salad claims of victory.

He could probably convince most of them that Mars is reachable by subway, two plus two equals eleven, iron is a gas, nitrogen is a metal, and that strontium 90 is a healthy cereal additive.

So, I certainly think he could convince his supporters he won an election that he clearly lost. All they have to do is WANT to believe it, and have it reinforced by Fox Noise.

of the minorities that are more impacted by covid.

If the traitor wins, many more americans will die because of covid and the next pandemic.

If the traitor loses, he will create chaos among his own supporters but i don't see it being worse than if we wins.

traitor trump is a blight on america.
