He still says he didn’t lose and always qualifies his intent to accept the results of the next election with language that, given his not accepting the last one, amounts to “I’ll accept it if I win”. Whatever else he did was fairly normal bad-president stuff. Like, pretty bad, but not the end of the Republic or anything. The attempts to overturn the election, and the utter failure of the state to swiftly punish same, are some real “this may not be the end, but you can see it from here” stuff. Democratic states tend to vote in the person who ends them. It’s clear now that that’s a thing we’re very much at risk of doing. I don’t even necessarily mean a second Trump term, just anyone who follows his blueprint. The voters evidently don’t see that as disqualifying, and the system’s displayed an inability to respond to such attempts. The sharks may or may not be circling yet, but there’s blood in the water.
