He already has stated that if he loses it's rigged (in his childish, tiny vocabulary). Any claim of victory from Trump should be ignored.

@wdlindsy Never forget rhey are voting to suspend parts of our Constitution that makes the US a democracy. As damaged by money as it is, it is all we have left.

"If Donald Trump becomes president again it will be for reasons both obvious and scrupulously ignored by a mainstream media dominated by publications, networks, and platforms owned by billionaires and conglomerates."

~ Michael Podhorzer

Because someone's got to profit, right? And it might as well be the billionaires and conglomerates and media owners and top media managers, right?

@Runyan50 I definitely don't forget, and think your warning to all of us is a good one.

[wdlindsy@toad.social]

@archibald_tuttle I agree that this claim should be ignored as in not investing time in believing it. It will also energize violence and many attempts to attack the democratic system, and those can't be ignored.

[wdlindsy@toad.social]

@wood5y Thank you for that good advice. I second it.

[wdlindsy@toad.social]

@RoguePlayer Indeed.

[wdlindsy@toad.social]

@LaNaehForaday I stand with you in that hope that he'll pay for his crimes eventually.

[wdlindsy@toad.social]

@Runyan50 Absolutely.
