Here's a diagram for you illiterate pedes: https://media.thedonald.win/post/euP1Cjtk.png
I spend as much time as the next pede digging through New everyday and the ItS hApPeNiNg posts, but I think some of you are paying too much attention to the details, and not enough attention to the big picture.
Let's take a step back.
What are Trump's primary motives? What do we know about Trump? What are his options, and what would be the end result of each of those options, and how would those results fit Trump's motives?
Question numero uno: Trump's motives. We know Trump has an ego. I know it, you know it, everybody knows it. Trump wants to be seen as a great man by everyone, but especially his supporters. Also, Trump loves America. He wants America to succeed, and to avoid suffering.
M1: Trump cares about being perceived as a good man.
M2: Trump cares about America and doesn't want to see it suffer.
I think these are some pretty reasonable assumptions. Question numero dos: Trump's options. He has two options: Concede or Contest.
What happens if Trump concedes? (option 1)
--> DNC likely to continue dragging his name through the mud, calling him a dictator, a fascist, a racist, etc. (!M1)
--> His supporters (us) are furious and devastated. He promised to never stop fighting for us, yet he did. (!M1)
--> America suffers because the duly elected president was not elected. We essentially lose our right to vote. Our rights to freedom of speech, religion, to bear arms, and others, all stay under attack. (!M2)
What happens if Trump contests the election? (option 2)
--> DNC likely to continue dragging his name through the mud, calling him a dictator, a fascist, a racist, etc. In other words, no different from option 1. (!M1)
--> His supporters are thrilled and worship him for standing up for our rights. (M1)
What if war breaks out?
What happens if Trump wins the war?
--> His supporters worship him a hero among the likes of Abraham Lincoln and the founding fathers. (M1)
--> America does suffer (from the war) but not to the extent it suffers in option 1 (M2).
What happens if Trump loses the war?
--> He goes down in history as a villain, and our children and their children are taught to hate him. (!M1)
--> America greatly suffers, or falls (!M2).
Based on what we know about Trump, and based on what we can expect to happen in each scenario, THERE IS NO WAY THAT TRUMP WILL CONCEDE. HE STANDS TO GAIN NOTHING HE WANTS FROM CONCEDING AND EVERYTHING HE WANTS FROM CONTESTING. His motives can only be met if he contests the election. It's basic motive analysis.
Let's dig even deeper. Trump wants to be seen as a good person. If the only thing that makes sense is for him to contest the election, how would he go about it while preserving M1 and M2 as much as possible?
Well, to preserve M1, he would first exhaust every possible legal and peaceful option to contesting the election to avoid being categorized as a dictator or a fascist (not that the left won't claim this regardless, but remember he cares about what his supporters think of him). Furthermore, a peaceful transition of power and the intervention of our legal system to rightfully elect Trump is the scenario in which our country suffers the least. Trump has to try this option to fulfill both M1 and M2. But after all peaceful and legal options are exhausted, Trump commits to war.
Look at the recent actions of Trump's administration. Look at the changes he's made to the DoD and military intelligence community, and the defense board. Look at the positioning of our aircraft carriers. Pay attention to what has been happening: people dying under mysterious circumstances, "secure" networks being hacked, google going down, twitter hacked, spies being revealed, countries forming rapid peace deals (alliances?), government officials with Chinese ties being exposed, high levels of military air traffic all over the country, insane censorship and propaganda, a million troops called up from the reserves... does this sound like things are winding down to you? Does this sound like Trump is preparing for a peaceful transition of power? Does this sound like it's all going to be over in a month?
NO. SO STOP DOOMING YOU DUMB DOOMERS. GET READY TO FIGHT. GET READY TO SUPPORT YOUR PRESIDENT. GET READY TO GO TO WAR CUZ IT'S COMING.
MAGA
Option 3: He is compromised or was put in as controlled opposition, not really working for us but satiating our desire for freedom
That would be the worst controlled opposition play since the dawn of time.
