Look, I'm not a US citizen, just someone watching this situation from the outside. I'm neither on the democrats nor on the republican side, simply because these terms are more or less meaningless to me.

As this sort of outside observer, though, the answer to the question "Might Trump still win the election?" is very clear to me - he can't, and he won't. Either he will be out of office in January, in which case he will have lost the election. Or he will stay in office due to some fascist power grab that has no relation to how people actually voted, in which case what currently happens in the US will not be remembered as the 2020 election but the American version of Hitler's Machtergreifung. He will still have lost the election, it's just that no one cares.

I hope it'll be the former rather than the latter.

To me, the more interesting thing is whether the judicial rulings exposing the utter disconnect with reality of these lawsuits will finally convince some Trump supporting stalwarts that he really is a sociopathic narcissist who cares nothing about anyone but himself and will say literally anything in trying to get whatever he happens to want from moment to moment.

His supporters staged a pretty big rally today in D.C.

And the reporting says only a small number of them were wearing masks.

Doubtful

Well, unusually, this has already proven a bridge too far for a bunch of lawyers who were representing the campaign in court. Turns out, lying to the American people has a lot fewer adverse consequences than lying to a judge.

Here’s another avenue shot down. Scary they even tried.

GOP leaders in 4 states quash dubious Trump bid on electors | CBC NewsRepublican leaders in four critical states won by U.S. president-elect Joe Biden say they won't participate in a legally dubious scheme to flip their state's electors to vote for President Donald Trump. Their comments effectively shut down a half-baked plot some Republicans floated as a last chance to keep Trump in the White House.www.cbc.ca

I don't think it helps Trump politcally to keep insisting the election was rigged. I also think Republicans look super soft by not standing up to him on this.

He was already insane, in my opinion, but this loss seems to have pushed him all the way over the edge, no? Even Fox News seems to think he’s insane.

When I used to live with my mentally ill mom on the streets of Oakland, half of our fellow homeless had insane rants like this routinely, but we just shrugged because everyone was used to it and could see it for what it was.

It's a good thing Trump can't fire judges because the head of election security just got shown the door because he said the election was secure.

Imagine how many judges would be shown the door for saying same.

How pathetic can Trump get. Republicans should be ashamed.

He has many reasons to promote this bullshit. First the majority of republicans who voted for him. Thinking the election was stolen from them will fire them up and be used in some way to promote Trumps cause. It’ll also keep Trump’s popularity higher. He always relied on a fired up base. When he starts a media company.... Also Trump might just get someone to ‘create’ some evidence. He has plenty of reasons to keep on lying, not least of which it’s worked before. What’s so concerning is how many believe him. It’s one thing to vote for him if you think conditions for you will be better for you while under his rule and quite another to believe his nonsense.

I wonder if there are any Republican senators who now regret not removing him after the impeachment.

You’d have to watch Fox News to be sure of this. Conservatives don’t watch mainstream media very much.

Sadly, you are right about this. 😢
