The Trump campaign has literally said that this election will be decided by the courts, the same courts that they've been packing with Trump-loyal sycophants.

Trump could lose in a landslide and he'd still just declare that the numbers are rigged, and that if you only count the authentic ballots he'd be the clear winner. Then he'll use the packed courts to declare victory in any lost swing states. And no one's going to stop him. Congress won't. The judiciary won't. The police won't. The military has already said that they won't intervene.

Bush v Gore already set the precedent for state legislatures setting aside vote totals and deciding directly how to allocate electors. According to polls the key swing states in this election are Wisconsin, North Carolina, Michigan, Pennsylvania, Ohio, and Florida. Every one of them has a Republican-controlled legislature. If any of these are lost to Trump or are uncertain on election night you can be all but certain that they go for Trump some weeks later.

There's a distinction here and it's that Trump doesn't ACTUALLY think there's a conspiracy against him, it's that he gets a good reaction and no shortage of kudos from that sizable chunk when he claims there is, and genuinely doesn't see why he shouldn't lie about it to get his way.

I don't think that Trump will refuse to concede a losing vote because he thinks he actually won. He'll refuse to concede because he thinks that with the support of that sizable chunk and the pragmatic parts of the right willing to hold onto power at any cost, he might get to stay on regardless of what the vote actually is.

He'll somehow manage to stay in power simply by dragging the results of each state through every possible court with endless bad-faith appeals and re-appeals over every conceivable detail for the next four years.

Even if Biden gets inaugurated and manages to evict the fucker against his will, half the country will view Biden as an illegitimate usurper and go into full on sabotage mode for the next 4 years. The presidency will have lost a huge chunk of legitimacy and the first actually competent fascist in power is gonna have a field day with abolishing the whole thing

She believes the 14th Amendment is “illegitimate,” which is :lol:

I have a feeling she thinks this because the confederate states were only allowed representation in Congress after agreeing to pass it and therefore one could argue it was “extorted,” but y’know, when your side surrenders in war, you have to make some concessions. The alternative would have either been that the Union just keeps warring on their asses or they become territories instead of states and therefore have no representation, which honestly in hindsight would have been better for the rest of us and the world.

Even the supposedly smart conservatives are dumb as loving hell.

Apparently roe v wade is based on the 14th amendment so whatever aspect about it makes abortion legal is probably what she feels is "illegitimate"

The Trump campaign has said that the election will be decided in court, and the Trump administration has been packing the courts with Trump supporters for 4 years. He has appointed 50% more judges in 4 years than Obama appointed in 8. That seems pretty worrying! On top of that SCOTUS already ruled on this in 2000; state legislatures get final say on how electors are allocated and can override the popular vote whenever the legislature deems it necessary.

Like this isn't a conspiracy theory, it's their actual plan. Either they win legitimately or they win in court, that's basically what the Trump campaign has said will happen.

We've been trying and failing to get his tax returns for 4 years lol

Honestly I don't get why he doesn't show his tax returns. His bank accounts could literally spell out how he's been stealing from the American people since the 70s and his supporters will go "lol taxes are theft from the successful anyway, good on our prez for dodging them."

Right before they lament the state of the roads and other infrastructure.

The only way America doesn't slide into actual fascist dictatorship in the next 20 years is to stack the scotus, give Washington and PR full state status with senators (no taxation without representation lol) and to abolish gerrymandering.

Also get rid of the electoral college.

None of this will happen LOL

It's this.

The Trump Organization is a privately held company. That means that there's no real way for us to know about the company's capital structure - i.e. how much of its assets are financed by debt, and how much by equity.

When Jared paid $1.8 billion for 666 5th Avenue the purchase was 97% debt-financed. We know about that because the sale was very well-publicised in the press at the time (because it was the most expensive real estate purchase at the time). In comparison we know very little about Trump properties. It wouldn't surprise me at all if the Trump Org is 95%+ debt as well, and all of its incomes goes directly to interest payments on its loans.

Also, once people get wind of how badly he's doing that tanks all future investments as well. He's lived his entire life trading on money/business sense he has never had - that's why he's bankrupted x amount of companies.

Trump is 100% pure show - 95% of people can see right through it, but there's always that dumb as gently caress 5% to grift until the cows come home.

Among the general public sure, but in the business world he was considered a joke for most of his adult life.

That's why he was trying to stay afloat by laundering money for Russian mobsters through his casinos and overpriced condos. And that's why no major bank wanted to deal with him, with the notable exception of Anthony Kennedy's failson Justin.
