Trump’s already isolated from his formal political allies and both mainstream media and the news side of Fox. But the far-right grifter crowd with careers linked to his political survival is already gearing up for an ugly rearguard action.

The formal media projection and official county-certified results will come in when they come in. The timeline to track now is: Biden claiming victory, Biden calling McConnell (probably the most important signal of Act 2 starting) and Trump’s first transition scorched-earth move.

From what we’ve seen so far, legal ammo he has available to try to undermine the results are too specious even for highly sympathetic courts to work with. And his recent allies have no incentive to help. So I’m guessing the main threat is perception of illegitimacy by his base.

It is notable that in 2016, the Dems went for foreign interference and collusion cases rather than casting doubt on the electoral process itself. They had way more probable cause and the thing fell apart for being too weak rather than fictitious.

For the record, I personally believe the interference had an effect, but not enough to affect result. It merely fed existing sentiment a bit. Trump won legitimately enough, and the biggest distortion came from domestic media coverage choices (ugly but not illegal) not Russia.

My problem with Trump regime was not its legitimacy, nor even its ideological leanings or low-grade self-dealing/profiteering. It was with their open attempt to destroy institutions, hold them hostage with ransomware tactics, and putting a bunch of foxes in to guard henhouses.

Cute, but let's maybe not do this? Process, memorialize, move on. This is borderline nyanyanyha territory.

Thank you Pennsylvania and Georgia. Now can someone make some blue "PAGA" hats for us to wear for the next four years?

Commercial break: This portion of the livetweet thread is brought to you by renowned knight of the Trump table Sir Ben Shapiro, and is dedicated to his unrequited courtly love for the Lady Alexandria who still won’t debate him, an Arthurian legend for our times.

True, in order to come off as sincere there must be some sincerity, and thus actual conviction. Though methinks he recognizes the honey pot from which he feeds is dependent on constant content generation—in this case an always-on fire hose of bile.
