This is funny on one hand, but it shows that there will be effort and resources put into spreading and defending this idea that:
- Trump won
- If Trump loses, he's a victim
The only good thing in all of this is that there is a split in the ruling class on approaches towards how to maintain the current system.

Nevertheless, the outcome of this particular situation will be bad no matter what.
On one hand, Trump could successfully manoeuvre his way out of what is clearly an election defeat.

If the Supreme Court and other institutions side with him, if armed white groups successfully mobilise like they did in Bolivia, we're looking at full-fledged unmasked fascism.
But masked fascism is no better. The deep state siding with Biden to preserve normalcy is also a bad outcome.

The deep state and certain undemocratic institutions will be hailed as heroic if they side with Biden to oust this rogue politician who defies established order.
People will be locked/trapped into expressing hope into institutions that have never been on their side.

The only good bit of this is that there will be more distrust of the white supremacist state by white supremacist groups, but even that isn't all that great...
A lot of police unions supported Trump. A lot of white supremacists work in the armed forces. If they feel like they're losing control of the state, they could mobilise to prevent that.

Look at how events unfolded to lead towards Hitler's rise in Germany or Murillo in Bolivia.
Fascists aren't stupid. Liberals' feel high and mighty with their smugness, while they invest too much in dependence on symbolism and the idea of immortal institutions.

They don't understand realpolitik. They see politics as a friendly game that can be easily regulated.
Over 70 million people voted for Trump. He personally got more votes than any other presidential candidate in the world's history.

He won more than 45% of the popular vote, higher than Bill Clinton did in 1992.

Of every 20 voters, 10 voted for Biden, 9 for Trump, 1 for others.
If Biden's win is finalised, it won't be even a dent in fascism in the US. And this is only looking at domestic politics.

There's international politics that I always talk about that many haven't even begun to think of here.

Biden is evil and Trump isn't gone.
Millions of Americans are waiting to do whatever they can to get someone like Trump (or worse than Trump) back into power if Trump's defeat in this specific event (the 2020 election) is finalised.
And even greater than that number is how many Americans just want a return to normalcy.

Many will be complacent with someone like Biden as president. They don't care about the continuous violence against BIPOC within US' borders or the US' imperialist violence abroad.
With Trump as president, speaking out against harmful US foreign policy was not too hard but also not too easy.

When Obama was president, it was much more difficult. Critics of Obama were dismissed as being Republicans or Russian spies.
