I warned you all along that once Trump realized he couldn't win, he'd threaten to just stay in office, to test if you're gullible enough to believe he can somehow magically do that. Today begins the test. Your job is to laugh at the dipshit, and go vote him out in record numbers.
If you all collectively decide you're gullible enough to believe that Trump can indeed somehow magically remain in office after he loses, then you'll be handing Trump leverage. He'll be able to trade leaving peacefully in exchange for some kind of criminal leniency.
Trump can only get something in return for leaving office peacefully, if you're all dumb enough to believe that he somehow has the option of not leaving. Please, don't be that dumb. You're not kindergartners. Don't fall for the "I stole your nose" trick.
Keep in mind that the mainstream media is not your friend when it comes to this. They're going to get a ratings bonanza by pretending Trump might just magically stay in office after he loses. You'll stare at your TV in fear every day of the transition period, and they'll cash in.
If Trump loses, Biden will be sworn in with or without Trump's participation, and that point Trump will be dragged out of the White House by the Secret Service for trespassing if he refuses to leave. Trump knows this, so he would never even try something so stupid. Just the facts
But again, Trump is testing your gullibility. Can he get you believe he's somehow going to magically remain in office when he loses? What can he then get in return for agreeing to leave peacefully, when he was always going to do that anyway? He's a huckster and he's playing you.
"But Trump will be desperate to survive, so he'll be able to pull it off!" No. Desperation doesn't translate to ability. This isn't the movies. If Trump concludes he has to flap his arms and fly to survive, it doesn't mean he'll suddenly magically be able to do it.
Besides, Trump is surely arrogant enough to think he can beat his criminal charges at trial, and stay out of prison. If he does something as boneheaded as refusing to leave office after he loses, it'll result in him immediately going to prison. He's dumb but he's not THAT dumb.
So stop fretting over these laughable doomsday scenarios the media keeps feeding you, turn off the MSNBC bullshit, pull yourself together, acknowledge that we're currently winning, and put in the work required to bring it home: phone banking, volunteering, and voter registration.
