    This is a useful thread arguing, persuasively, that Trump's bluster comes from a place of weakness.https://twitter.com/Teri_Kanefield/status/1308851838406610945 …

    Ok. Okaaay. I didn't want to respond to the Atlantic piece about how Trump can steal the election by flipping electors in states with GOP held legislatures, but I will. Here's my take. From the article⤵️ 1/ pic.twitter.com/qtjStox3v0

        The news today is that Trump made his intentions crystal-clear. But I don't think they'll come through as the result of some legislative hocus pocus. It will be more dirty and direct, my supporters behind me, I'm not leaving, etc. The Republicans will come up with reasons later.

        This is true up to a point, but you can't vote your way out of a rigged election, and dealing with the aftermath of a rigged election is a lot harder than getting in early to stop it from happening. A US-centric perspective is too narrow right now.

        gotta act like he could actually win and/or coup and fight like hell to make sure it doesn't happen... I'm trying get folks to use their time/money in ways that support racial justice & long-term power building at the same time we're kicking out Trump https://www.movement.vote/funds/big5/?refcode=LA090820 …

        The idea that the GOP and Trump voters, given a chance to *win*, will balk at *any* dirty or unconstitutional trick is laughable. The idea that the judiciary would prevent a power grab is questionable at best. Trump may not be able to do this, but if possible I think he'll try.

        Hmm, don’t get the repeated use of the phrase “state legislatures will do whatever Trump wants”. Supreme Court seat reminds us this is what conservatives want. Contesting an election isn’t a Trump thing.
