Assuming Trump does lose, he’s still gonna have 2 months left and that terrifies me

Military Brass hates him for the most part it seems. Enlisted folk seem to follow the same demographics as civilians.
I don't believe for a moment that Trump would ever show up to the swearing in ceremony and sit along side Obama and Bush nor participate in the handover with Biden and walk to the helicopter like we have traditionally seen between presidents.
He will likely go down to his golf course or whatever the weekend before and not bother to show up and instead hate tweet as he watches Biden get sworn in proclaiming the poor turnout just proves it all was rigged (Though i would love to see a strong turnout despite COVID just to rub it in his face)
I dont see this... I feel that this Republican admin was dumb enough to telegraph this intent, but future Repub admins wont....
The telegraphing I think massively boosted early voting and in person ballot dropping nationwide. You have sports stadiums becoming voting locations and more. Trump and his team fucked it up by yelling their plans so loud that millions took precautions...
I dont think the next time Republicans try this will be the same. I think theyll be quiet if given the chance then try this shit at the buzzer after the votes are already cast.
I think some part of Trump would relish playing the turd in the punchbowl, but on the whole, yeah, he's too much of a coward to show up at the inauguration if he loses. He'll spend the day hate-tweeting while watching FOX News.
Not that there won't always be a need to protect voting access (which is something that will surely be a legislative initiative in the next Congress), but the current vote-by-mail issue is a unique problem caused by the pandemic, not something that will be repeated in future administrations (fingers crossed).
In the HBO miniseries Years & Years, he
on his last day in office. Obviously that's really dramatic, but this presidency has been stranger than fiction at every turn.
nukes china
What? Are you saying that he might spend his last two months sowing doubts about the election, or use the office to personally enrich himself, or enact policies that harm its citizens just like he's been doing for the past four years?
What exactly do you think he can do that he hasn't already done or isn't currently doing?

dream scenario, he abdicates the throne and pence pardons him and it all looks shitty to everyone except the most die hard trumpers, who lets be honest, even if putin said "trump is an assett" they'd stay on
Isn't there a (ridiculous and very clearly evil) law that says the US would, like, free him by military force if they even arrested him for that to begin with?
If he was a sitting president but once he is no longer all bets are off.
His supporters aren't going to do a damn thing. I doubt that they'll risk going to jail or prison or even lose their lives over Trump.
It is scary and that's valid. Remember though he's in a massive minority. Respected retired military, old republican guard etc. all despise him. His base is dumb and cowardly
LOL, I can't tell if you're a troll or just a defeatist. He'll lose, he can't do anything about the ballots because it's the states that control that, not the Feds.
Dems get the Senate, the WH, keep the House, and have a shitton of things ready to go day one. 2020 is bad. 2021 is going to be great.
It's basically Republican tradition to fuck up the house as much as they can before the Democrats move in.
Technically, there aren't any limits on who can be pardon at the federal level. He's already pardoned war criminals.
I'm far too concerned with Trump winning the election than I am to be too concerned about the awful things that might happen if he loses. We can get through the two months. Four more years we are completely fucked. He has to be voted out convincingly.
You should be worried, because the republicans and Trump would have completely aligned goals of fucking the economy up as much and as irreversibly as possible to leave a steaming pile of shit for Biden to try and fix. And oh, they will blame him for it a week after he starts.
He and the Senate Republicans will do whatever they can to fuck as much as possible up just as they've done at the state levels after losing. Thankfully it'll be a harder than it has been in states where they've held the governorship, senate and house.
A Pence pardon isn't going to save him from state charges that are probably going to come after inauguration.

I am hoping his ire and attention is going to be on all the people suddenly distancing themselves from him.
What the fuck?
Ugh, why did I click that right before going to bed...
**Update and I just looked up what Years & Years is. It's intriguing as a Russel T. Davies series that aired on BBC and was funded by HBO, but I probably should have stopped reading past "nihilistic dystopian sci-fi drama" in the description. It sounds like a less horrifying version of Threads.

You're right to be scared because if he loses he's going to spend every day working towards invalidating the result.
Trump ain't nuking China, the military isn't gonna listen to that moron. Once he loses, the inclination for anyone but the most die hard of his administration to listen to him will fall with him. Instead everyone is gonna flee for the exits and pretend they didn't spend 4 years helping the worse thing to happen to the Republican Party.
He's just going to sow more division in the country while he pouts on twitter about voter fraud and hoaxes. It's really not going to be any different than today
I mean that article is quite something

Analysis: Mike Pence evaded a question about peaceful transfer of power
The vice presidential debate Wednesday night will be remembered more for how the candidates evaded questions than how they answered them.

Try to do something bad, fuck it up and end up doing nothing at all?
The guy is barely trusted to sign his own name on a blank piece of paper.
The reality is these people want to be out of power. They will all make much more money and have zero accountability.
The transition will be quick, smooth and painless. Then the shit show really starts as they all sit back milking fear properly.
You really can't underestimate just how tired Americans are of Trump. Even people voting for him want him to disappear.
I don't know what he will do but expect the vast majority to have a really unpleasant reaction to it.
Also the Trump name is thoroughly fucked, and for a company that relies so much on it, he going to have a rough time.

The saving grace of Trump's presidency has been his laziness and ineptitude.
We can only hope it continues to be so.

Someone with actual money should just buy all the buildings with Trump on written on them and put Dump there instead. It'd be a funny gimmick - "Can't believe I'm staying at this dump!" they'd say - and it'd really upset ol' Trumpykins.
😏
I think he is going to find himself alone soon as he loses. Republicans are going to distance themselves from him fast as they can and pretend they are all innocent.
The Devastation left behind from Clinton to George W. Bush was that they stole all the Ws from the keyboards.
In keeping with that tradition, I expect Trump to nuke half the country.

The moment he loses election, most people will stop giving a shit about him. At least here in Europe, diplomatic interactions with the US will probably stop until Biden is president. The military probably won't take any stupid orders from him. Many republicans will turn on him to save face.
Sure his cultist base will still lick his boots,but my feeling is that he loses most of his powers when it's clear that Biden won.

I feel you OP. However two months of lame duck Trump are much less scary than over four years of lame duck Trump.
If anything, if enough seats are flipped, there are going to be some more safeguards added to make sure that its harder for them to do this in some areas in future elections. This election needs to be about not just fixing Trump's damage but preventing future republican branded fuckery
