Trump isn't preparing to win--he's preparing to lose

Donald Trump's vice presidential litmus test is pretty simple: Are you committed to rejecting the 2024 results if Trump loses the election?

On Sunday, Sen. Marco Rubio of Florida became the latest Republican to betray the nation, not to mention their oath of office, for a chance at being selected as Trump's running mate. Rubio joins Sen. Tim Scott of South Carolina, Rep. Elise Stefanik of New York, and South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem in publicly prostrating themselves to Trump for the lure of power.

But the GOP parade of prebuttal for an election that hasn't even happened yet is just one way Trump is preparing his supporters, his campaign, and the entire Republican apparatus for a potential loss in November.

Here are several other ways that he’s laying the groundwork for a fierce response to any outcome he doesn’t like in November.

are not there. In order to keep it a close race, corporate media and their fucked-up polling outfits are fudging the numbers and screaming that shithole's ahead 24/7. They are giving shithole a pass while trashing Pres Biden.

Bullies, not journalism.

They have nothing to offer, but hate and control of the American people.
Just wait, Biden’s poll numbers will skyrocket, after the convention!

THE. POLL. NUMBERS. ARE. BULLSHIT! The media is complicit once again. Worse than ever this time. We're being played.

So he might do well in a polling question, but will he be worth the effort to actually go stand in line and vote? He will have been shown to be a criminal by then, perhaps multiple times.

Now compare that to all the women who are fighting for their very survival and autonomy. Think they'll be motivated? I sure do!

Trump will take an early lead until Democratic mail in votes are counted.

Trump and his fellow domestic terrorists will again advance the lie that the election was ‘stolen.’

Especially senior citizens who skew for Chump, and shut-ins, people who travel for work such as truck drivers, etc. Not all the Repuke votes will be counted in the first 24 hours.

However, Biden will have a resounding lead by the time the votes are all counted.

... just like he knew in 2020. They started planning that coup attempt way earlier than December 2020.

This time Chump isn't the incumbent and he has no power/authority to just walk in and take over. He's hoping to get the rubes to come and do the hard part. Are they really stupid enough to attempt another coup, and get themselves arrested again? Many of them are still in prison.
