TRUMP AND HIS SUPPORTERS, rather than accept defeat with dignity and equanimity, are apparently going to retreat into a self made world of fantasy, an imaginary world in which liberals and media and others conspired to steal the election from Trump, and then stole it, a world where they can express their unfounded anger and hatred with fabricated justification. It is a fantasy world in which they are familiar and comfortable, having invented and consecrated it with Trump's presidential candidacy, a world of bizarre conspiracy theories and alternative realities, which exists only in their twisted, tortured minds. Their determination to do this, to avoid reality and decency, consistent with past behavior, spells trouble for teh next few weeks while Trump is still in office, and bodes badly for the future, short and long term. I heard a Trump supporter say that they don't mind losing, its just that they mind losing fraudulently.. Like Trump, like many if not most Trump supporters, she is a liar, a fraud, and a very poor loser. Many Trump supporters claim that Covid 19 is a hoax, designed only to undo Trump. Those people are evil and sick, and deserve only scorn. Ask the families and friends of the nearly quarter million Americans who have died from the virus whether Covid 19 is a hoax. Ask every doctor, nurse, and scientist in the world. Trump and his supporters predicted that beginning November 4, we would stop hearing about the pandemic. that idiotic claim has already been exposed for the vicious lie that it is. It would not be surprising to see Donald Trump continue to have his infamous MAGA rallies, well attended by mentally ill delusional idiots without masks, continuing their disease and death spreading, chanting that Trump is still legally the president. Our choice is to laugh at them, ignore, them pity them, or offer them the psychiatric assistance they so desperately need. Cooperating with devout Trump supporters in a post Trump political world seem considerably less likely than Joe Biden may imagine. As each day passes post election, it becomes increasingly clear that cooperation is the last thing Trump and his gangster followers want; they only want to disrupt the process, and foment conflict, and, tragically, probably violence an maybe even civil war. These were dangerous, harmful people while in power, and now, in their anger at defeat and rejection, will prove to be even more dangerous in their determination to make America angry, again.
