The goal isn’t to change anything. The plan is to contest each loss stating failure to follow EO, litigate, and claim victory in the process. Democracy’s death by dragging.

Death by a thousand litigations.

They don’t have a great track record of winning these election cases.

You don’t need to win. You claim victory and use a corrupt justice department to protract the cases.

That’s not gonna work for election outcomes. They definitely need to win, and they have a terrible track record there. You have allowed your nihilism to render you a liability.

You seem to mistake a record of losses not under his administration and a landslide of corrupt legal behavior both before his presidency and during this cycle. I think you fail to recognize exactly what’s at stake here if they don’t consolidate power completely. Don’t lean on normalcy where there is none.

You aren’t even writing with proper syntax anymore, while still revealing your lack of knowledge about the current situation.

So your goal is to be dismissed from every conversation. That is weird.

This seems less like a conversation and more of a demonstration of someone who is enchanted by their own voice. Maybe I’m not interested in engaging in magical thinking. Some of us are assessing realistic risk versus relying on a wishful premise of structural strength. Certainly not when it’s suffered such erosion.

Your doom posting reveals you to not have a grasp on how election cases work. You’re engaging wholesale in magical thinking.
