I don't think that Trump will ever concede; his upbringing instilled a personal belief that losing is intolerable.

Trump will (probably) leave office peacefully all-the-while maintaining that the election was stolen from him - that he did not lose.

Following Biden's inauguration, Trump will remain the dominant figure in Republican politics. From the perspective of Democrats there are upsides and downsides to this outcome.

On the upside, Trump's strident, polarizing personality and politics will continue to dominate the Republican platform - this will alienate some swing voters/traditional Republicans - meaning that Democrats will pick up votes that they might not have given a less combative leader.

On the downside, the enormous schism between the urban Democratic voter and the rural Republican is unlikely to wane, however much Biden tries to bring the country together.

On the whole, Trump's continued dominance of the Republican party is more bad than good in my view.

There doesn't have to be, the fact it is permeating through the western world means it is a challenge to all liberal democracies. This is now bigger than Trump and RW populist parties across the western world will use the focus on fraud as a means to delegitimise whole swathes of the electorate. Already on social media today i have noticed a UK resurgence against postal voting, along with the usual race baiting tactics of blaming certain elements of society as being the perpetrators of fraud. There is no need for evidence because it has already been implanted in people's minds that fraud exists on a massive scale and its always the Left that is the guilty party. The Left of course, or the Hard Left rather the soft left are anti capitalist by design and want control or a command economy where the free market is limited or curtailed. The left therefore has to be discredited for this whole con trick to work, and Trump has been at it as well as the RW media in this country aided and abetted by the plethora of RW think tanks across the western world.

Yanis Varoufakis warned that Capitalism will eat Democracy, here is a link to his TED talk



Singapore and China have proven that it is eminently possible to have flourishing capitalist systems without the onerous duty of holding elections and challenging those in power. This appeals to Capitalists as they will not have to worry about losing power, they can be in power for perpetuity.

This is no longer a battle for who is President of the USA, it is a battle for democracy and the capitalist class have unleashed their carefully nurtured useful idiots like the Proud Boys into action to challenge the very notion that democracy actually exists.

Its all very well lampooning Trump as some sort of lunatic, but i think he knows exactly what he is doing and he will have the weight of the American capitalist class behind him, the western capitalist class have their own brand of useful idiots such as Tiny Tommy Ten Names and his ilk.

I warned on here a couple of years ago, not that anybody took much notice that the UK is also coming under sustained attack from these populists, they managed to get their own useful idiot Johnson in to power and the groundwork being laid by Trump will become mainstream in the UK. The far have been emboldened more than at any point since the 1930s only in the UK it comes in the guise of libertarians and classical liberals and manifests itself in hardline anti-EU, anti immigration stances and the rise of conspiracy theories from the Kalergi plan to this great reset stuff.

We live in dangerous times, Covid has given the Capitalist class a chance to alter the natural order to suit them and as one of there idols Milton Friedman said, never let a good crisis go to waste.

He said as much, when he was talking last week, about the law suits being frivolously lodged by Trump. Said it works in the business world without evidence because it’s very intimidating to smaller businesses with lesser legal budgets. Said he knows how intimidating it is having faced it first hand.

Trump Campaign - ‘ There was a non-zero number of people in the room’ when the judge asked if they had observers in the counting room - to be fair that is brilliant and made me split my sides - I’d of voted Republican if it was a comedy talent show.

Wife - have you been out on the piss again?
Me - I have had non-zero number of beers since lunch time!
 
It's like the Monty Python Cheese Shop sketch.

"Have you got an evidence of voter fraud in Pennsylvania?" "Er no"
"Michigan?" "No"
"Wisconsin" "Yes. But the dog ate it"
Arizona?" ""Not yet. Expecting some next Wednesday"
"Georgia?" "Yes!" "Really?" "No not really"
"Have you any evidence of voter fraud at all?" "Errrr...No"
