Regarding the Black vote Trump received a little over 12% of the black vote, Biden received 87% Biden clearly owes a debt of gratitude to the African American community, especially In places like Philly, Atlanta, Milwaukee, and Detroit which put him over the top. Trumps approach to the black vote by means of voter suppression was a big mistake because it only ignited the electorate.
Regardless of what should happen, he probably will continue to cause trouble and try to win in 2024--if his creditors and the New York Attorney General don't do him in first. Given gridlock in Congress, Biden will have trouble getting anything done--nothing to the satisfaction of the Progressives.
I am really hoping that the NYAG, or the US Attorney for the Southern District of NY pursue their cases. It seems to me like they have to for fear that their accusations were just political hit jobs.
I think pursuing Trump legally is a tricky business. The ramifications may be more negative than we perceive at this moment.
Trump has said he will start his legal proceedings tomorrow. I don't think he'll get far and it will only cement his legacy as an asshole. No one likes a sore loser. Yes I'm concerned about it but with all the dancing in the streets it's hard to imagine he has a prayer of getting it overturned.
Well with all the firings of top Pentagon officials and their replacemnt with Trup's "Yes men', looks like something's afoot, and it doesn't look good.
I agree. I don't believe in conspiracies, and don't want be seen as an alarmist, but I have two theories.us just sold fifty f-35s, and a bunch of other armament to the UAE. #1- he will goad the UAE into attacking Iran with the us acting in a "support" role. he will convince congress that he needs to remain in charge during war time. or #2- he will attempt a coup, and needs his lackeys to back him up.
I don't think his lackeys are capable of commanding the military support needed to pull off #2. This would really be a high stakes gamble in which he'd probably lose, although his redncek militia following might rally to his banner. (For all their bravado, I doubt that they could cut the mustard either). #1. maybe, but I doubt it. To do this between now and January would be a tall order. Fat chance of getting the UAE to start something with Iran (Which side would Russia be on?) Surely the Saudis would have to be involved. Plus the problem that his base is isolationist. And there's the little matter of the Constitution, which would prevent Congress from deciding to keep him on, since he lost the election. I see the possibility of a third scenario: leave as much of a mess for the Dems as possible, and play the role of his favorite past President Andy Jackson, claiming the election was stolen. In four years, people will be tired of the paralysis in Washington from a president and House blocked by the Senate at every turn, and his loyal MAGA hatters will sweep him back into office. Republicans have a knack for leaving messes for Democrat successors. G.H.W. Bush invaded Somalia as his parting shot in 1992. G.W. left behind the recession of 2008.
In light of your 3rd scenario trump would be 78+ and surely the dems could find SOMEONE worthwhile to soundly beat him in 2024... I however am not as confident as you trump is going to attempt a coup he has quite a bit of military and police backing on the grunt side this is NOT GOOD
