Let's not start catstrophising about violence in the streets and coups. Trump is not an evil mastermind, he's a narcissistic baby whining because he hasn't got his way.

Trump may be out. His millions of supporters are still very much there. He's inciting violence and people shouldn't underestimate that

But his followers have form for acting on his whims. Remember Michigan during lockdown? His rhetorics are dangerous and I think he knows exactly what he is doing

@Dramaofallama

I remember earlier this year, when some of the democratic states put a lockdown in place and trump blasted them on twitter and encouraged the people to revolt and protest against it. I said to my friend, 'it's like he wants to start a new civil war', I now genuinely believe he does.

It's like he wants to be seen as some martyr for the US in years to come.

A martyr is usually someone who dies for their cause.

In his case he just wants to kill the rest of us.

@BonnieDundee

Is anybody else wishing that they hadn't watched Years and Years? Shock
YES.
womanaf · 06/11/2020 00:25

I was totally expecting this, yet am still somehow left agog.

TokyoSushi · 06/11/2020 00:25

Agree that they all seem genuinely upset/shocked on CNN, It must be awful for them.

NRA @NRA
COME AND TAKE IT

I believe Nancy Pelosi, leader of Congress, needs to invoke it through a vote in congress and then get the Senate to agree to the same. If they do, they relieve Trump of the position, and put Pence in his place. Senate/McConnell not likely to cooperate.

Thank you.

Awful.

Yohoheaveho · 06/11/2020 00:26

He's no martyr, that's not his archetype
This is 'family destroyer' writ large
He wants to pour petrol on the whole thing and light a match.... rather than give up power

RhubarbTea · 06/11/2020 00:26

@womanaf Same.

Even Fox News are not supporting Trump on this.

They've said they've seen no evidence of cheating.

lionheart · 06/11/2020 00:27

Yes, awful for those journalists.

SabrinaThwaite · 06/11/2020 00:27

Trump PA lead down to 65k. It’s dropping about 10k at every update.

Roussette · 06/11/2020 00:28

Oh, he knows exactly what he's doing with his slurs against Detroit and the like. And his calling of fraud against officials. There will no doubt be many a Trump follower enraged, fired up, and polishing their AR15s.

BlueCatRedCat · 06/11/2020 00:29

Horrifying to think that people may die tonight because of that speech.

Catmaiden · 06/11/2020 00:30

Oh god yes! Years and Years!
(shudders)
For those across the Pond, an excellent BBC TV series , about a fictional UK Prime Minister similar behaviour in her rise to (near) Dictatorship

Radiatornoise · 06/11/2020 00:30

Mike Pence has tweeted “every legal vote should be counted” and left it at that.

lyralalala · 06/11/2020 00:30

@RedToothBrush

NRA *@NRA* COME AND TAKE IT
Can't believe Twitter have left that standing for over an hour
RedToothBrush · 06/11/2020 00:32

We need PA to tip. As soon as it tips people can start calling the election for Biden. It needs to happen as quickly as possible now.

For people's safety.

Blueberries0112 · 06/11/2020 00:32

I don't think they will cause trouble , like I wrote I live in this type of community... in south Virginia where there are civil war monuments are everywhere. They will be ok. Maybe a few bad apples but that's it. They just don't want you taking their guns and religion away and they are good

SabrinaThwaite · 06/11/2020 00:32

Well the good news is after that performance, no way can Trump ever stand as a Republican again.

anewdispensation · 06/11/2020 00:32

So if (when) Trump is out, what will Ivanka and her husband do with themselves? She’s practically the FLOTUS
