      1. As I and many others have predicted, Trump, faced with defeat, is not going to concede and will construct a myth of a stolen election and being stabbed in the back. The question is where does this take us?

      2. I think the fears of a coup or constitutional crisis are overblown. The military has fairly explicitly rejected intervening (both after BLM protests and after election). The nuisance suits Trump is filing are far short of Bush v. Gore.

          3. The more pressing danger than a coup is Trump delegitimizing election and nursing stabbed-in-back mythos. Especially dangerous not just for future of Trump & Trumpism but also if GOP & right-wing media buy into it (as opinion side of Fox & Lindsey Graham have)

          He will whimper and then give up but the problem is the rest of the GOP and where it leads in 10 ish years

          This isn't worth discussing. "overblown" is an understatement. There's no controversy or conflict, there's just Trump pouting and people increasingly ignoring him. An ultimately peaceful transition, save possible scattered guerrilla violence, was always inevitable.

          Let’s not forget that if Trump gets too nuts Congress can impeach, convict, and remove him from office in a week. His term can be ended before January if needed.

          Replacing the Secty of Defense at this moment is a bit of a red flag though...🇷🇺...well, a tricolor anyway.

          Thr Bush v Gore point needs to be amplified. While recounts will occur...stopping vote counts makes no sense, and while Trump might not know his history, America has dealt with close elections before without resorting to treason and inflammatory lies.
