Do not minimize the shit Trump will try in order to win.

Trump cannot win a fair election. It is obvious even to him.
But he will try everything he can to win this, including inciting armed militias to go into polls and vote counting rooms.
He will also not accept the results when Biden wins.
It's hard to know what of the things he tries will have any effect.
But the idea that he will lose election night and then slink away is unrealistically optimistic.

If the networks essentially call it on election night and it's anywhere near the current spread, no one will take anything he says about it seriously outside of his yahoo base.

for quite a while now. I can't quite remember when Nancy Pelosi said Donald might not leave office, but it was a long, long time ago. Since then we've been bombarded with various scenario's of what might be. The choice of how I perceive the future, whether I choose hope or fear, is the same as it's always been. There's always something to fear, and when there isn't you can make something up.
