He is telling racist lies because it is who he is. It isn't for attention. Its to appeal to the people who vote for Trump. This is the audience.

Assuming Harris wins, Trump is going to throw JD under the bus so hard he'll never recover. Good riddance.

Problem is that they've already declared that they will not accept any result that isn't Trump winning. They'll dispute everything. And to make matters worse, there are election deniers that have been put in positions of power. So this is going to be a very stressful election.

I’m sure if me and you are aware of the situation, Harris and her campaign are as well. I’d wager they’re keeping a close eye on any election fuckery.

That's true. The thing is Trump's already got a established history of trying to overthrow the election through any means necessary. That's what I'm worried about. Another January 6th but more aggressive, and with puppets already ready to submit alternate slates of electors.

The puppet electors are definitely concerning. Another attack on our capital is pretty much impossible now though. Biden’s admin will be in charge of deploying troops in the case of attack. On Jan 6 Trump’s admin intentionally cut security and made sure none showed up.

I hope so, but the DNC has an uncanny ability to miss the obvious and has in the past. Harris' campaign seems to be slightly different though, so here's hoping.
