just normalize Trump's behavior no matter what he does. I mean we just assume he won't concede, we just assume he won't invite Biden to the White House or cooperate in regards to a transition. We wouldn't do this with teenagers. We don't say, of course they won't do homework or of course they will cheat on tests or of course they will beat the crap out of each other. I mean WTF. He lost.

I also remember Bush losing, and he didn't do that either. It also should be noted that Gore also cooperated. Why is this man baby behavior just assumed to be what is going to happen without any real comment?
