    I feel like there’s a threshold after which you just can’t even question the fairness.

    Like if he lost with 20% of the popular vote is he really going to say it was rigged?

    It won’t happen but the devil’s advocate in me wants to believe that at some point his copium runs out and he’s humbled.

      Yes, because he said it was rigged when he won the electoral college vote. He will always say it is rigged no matter what happens because he is parroting Russian disinformation tactics.

        The one conspiracy theory I will never back down from is that Trump never intended to win the 2016 election, his loss was supposed to be the launch point for Trump TV. Remember Trump TV? Yeah, nobody does. All those angry voters were supposed to convert to customers and instead they just turned into emboldened fascists.

          To be fair, those fascists make great customers.

          $400 gold sneakers, $60 bibles, Trump NFTs, a new perfume line, it’s all selling out.
