Trump thinks huge crowds will take to the streets demanding he be given another term

[captain queeg]

In reality he is poised to be defeated in a historic landslide, maybe the greatest defeat is US history. I have no doubt there will be some ugly and violent incidents. But his supporters are just like him, phony failures. There won’t be huge protests in his favor. There’ll be a few sickening demonstrations while most of America heaves a sigh of relief. The only way massive demonstrations will happen is if he tries some way to deny the people’s decision.

1. And I think ...

... huge crowds will take to the streets demanding that I be recognized as the hottest woman who ever lived.

Trump and I both have our dreams. And I think we're both going to wake up incredibly disappointed.

3. Well many of us share that opinion about you Nance

2. Nope he knows he is going to lose and will be indicted

He thinks that by threatening violence from a small but dedicated group of militia fanatics he can negotiate a global
Get out of jail card in exchange for an agreement to go quietly.

He will continue to stir up shit thinking it enhances his political leverage.

All he wants now is to walk away without legal exposure.

This is how he "won" his bankruptcies. He threatened to cause massive damage to the assets and walk away if they didn't give him the terms he demanded.

12. You have a good point, the way he's handled his businesses

But, in typical trump fashion he will be throwing any and all supporters under the bus. Once he starts doing that he’ll start losing whatever support he might still have. Also, the rethugs are all about money, which depends greatly on the status quo. Domestic upheaval would cause his precious stock market to collapse.

13. I think you're right about that.

He doesn't have the capacity to think too much through, but his enablers are another story. I was remotely paying attention when his bankruptcies were in the news. Everyone in the Northeast knows who and what he is. And his ploy is as you describe and someone somehow convinced him he could "run" the presidency this way while they destroy the country and the world.

4. He's correct there will be crowds

but they'll be those celebrating in the streets (with masks on of course) when he loses in a landslide.

Trump is afraid of the voters, it's why he was so unhinged, he knows his polls are sinking by the day.

10. +1000 I can see people out dancing in the streets at midnight when the results are known

Myself...I have an American flag that measures 6' x 8' that I usually only fly on July 4th because of it's size. I'll be out there at 2am putting it up if that's when the results come in that this four year nightmare and Fat Nixon will be gone on Jan 20th.

5. Looking more and more like those

crowds will be carrying a rail, some tar and feathers.
I really think he will be around come Election Day.

6. A narcissist would ...

relish a civil war on his behalf.

7. I hope I am wrong but his supporters will be there. He is like a cult leader to those

people, they build shrines to him here. There is one a mile from me, a guy has made a 25 foot high vertical Trump
sign in lights and put it on his garage roof. They have their Trump caravans every weekend, they post themselves at
busy intersections with their stupid flags. He is trying to incite violence and he has millions of cult members that will
follow him.

8. Did you see the proud boy rally? There was suppoxed to be 20,000.

There were 500.

9. He also thinks SCOTUS will side with him when he challenges the vote result.

I dont believe it. For sure there are enough RW partisan SC judges but this would be too extreme even for them.
