I’m seeing these hand-wringing articles speculating that Donald Trump is going to call for armed insurrection or something if he loses the election, but let’s be real here: his MO isn’t salting the Earth in the wake of a loss - it’s rewriting reality to recontextualise the loss as a win. I figure that if Donald Trump loses the election, inside of two weeks he’ll be claiming that his entire campaign was some sort of high concept performance art piece never actually intended to succeed, and don’t we all feel foolish now?
