They can shout all they like, Biden won.

If you thought the Hillary stans were bad, watch the Trump devotees meltdown.

The stages of grief are beginning, and the Trump ride or dies are neck deep in denial and conspiracy. There is no route for Donald Trump to remain President save some sort of military coup. This isn’t 2000, it isn’t nearly as close and it doesn’t come down to 500 votes in one state; it is logistically impossible to get this overturned in enough places to stop Biden reaching 270 and being inaugurated.

The fact remains, Trump is doing permanent damage to democracy and will continue to do so for 2+ months. And then, he positions himself as the leader of the anti-Biden resistance army. Another fact to bear in mind is Trump’s casual voters aren’t crazy fanatics who buy into this bullshit about fraud, the mockable hardcore aren’t middle America, and mocking middle America as a whole is how people indirectly helped Trump became President.
Zone out Trump and his allies, don’t let them get in your head. We won this election, there’s much work for US progressives to do as we head into naming a cabinet and putting together an administration.

Trump can’t stop this. His lawyers can’t stop this. The people spoke by what’s shaping up to be a 5 million vote margin and an easy electoral votes win. However antiquated the systems of American representation are, Biden is headed for the White House save an act of god, and Trump will be removed, like it or not, come January 20th. The worry is how much chaos he can bring about or violence he can foster between now and then.

Trump’s hardcore support of radical conservatives have shown once and for all they never cared about democracy, they never had principles, they never loved their country, and they’re happy to see it burn down rather than loose an election. They are the furthest thing from patriots there has ever been.
