On the one hand I'm thinking... Better for trump to be on the ballot everywhere & get completely repudiated, in the (naive?) hope that republicans *finally* take the lesson that hey, like it or not, we are a pluralistic democracy & you're going to need to appeal to a majority of voters if you expect to win power in this country.

and really, I'm probably being too charitable taking them at their word that they don't believe Biden won fair & square. That may be true for some of the rubes, but trump & his cohort know very well that he lost & his protestations to the contrary are just a fact-free assertion of power.
@rpardee I believe that's why we're locking folks up. Most those guys mamas will snatch em by the ears if they try any shit.. or their wives who really need their income.
@rpardee Probably not “too charitable” but definitely charitable.
@rpardee If SCOTUS takes it, I wonder what the split will be and whether Clarence Thomas will recuse himself.
On the other hand--it really seems like the GOP base has pretty much sealed itself off from reality--if they don't believe Biden won in 2020, then what hope is there that they will accept this election?
