"Through public remarks, Truth Social screeds and more than 100 preemptive lawsuits, Donald Trump is assembling a detailed catalog of excuses for rejecting the results of the 2024 election — if he loses,” Axios reports.

“The Trump-aligned efforts to overturn the 2020 election — both overtly and covertly, peacefully then violently — shocked the American public. No one should be surprised this time around.”

“The former president, who risks jail time and more criminal trials if he loses, has expanded his range of baseless attacks on U.S. voting procedures in recent weeks and months.”

    Do any of us care about his bullshit? No.

    I hate that I have to read news articles about how bullshit claims will wend their way through courts for years while we continue to give attention to a shouting spray tan.

      Yes, quite a lot of us care about the country not descending into a fascist dictatorship and not getting murdered by the state in a purge, actually.

      Are you dense? A political party is openly planning a fascist takeover of the government. Why shouldn’t EVERYONE care about that?

        I care about that. What I don’t care about are fearmongering articles about his fever dreams that get reported like dire prognostications.

      Once he gets past this election he’ll settle down and start doing some things for the public, like helping build houses or whatever.

        I’m going to press X for doubt

        I’m hopeful he does… but I’m not going to be surprised when he doesn’t.
