"Through public remarks, Truth Social screeds and more than 100 preemptive lawsuits, Donald Trump is assembling a detailed catalog of excuses for rejecting the results of the 2024 election — if he loses,” Axios reports.

“The Trump-aligned efforts to overturn the 2020 election — both overtly and covertly, peacefully then violently — shocked the American public. No one should be surprised this time around.”

“The former president, who risks jail time and more criminal trials if he loses, has expanded his range of baseless attacks on U.S. voting procedures in recent weeks and months.”

      Very little of this is a crime. The system was built by people who felt shame, Trump does not and is therefore immune to this backlash as his followers believe his lies.

      Hopefully it’s to allow more evidence to pile up. If he loses and goes nuclear, that’ll be all they need. So maybe they’re giving him enough water to sink himself in.
