(Salon) Donald Trump can be defeated.
He was in 2020, although hell never admit it. He was defeated by E. Jean Carroll in court when a New York jury in a civil case found him liable for sexual abuse. He was defeated in a Manhattan criminal court earlier this year and found guilty of 34 felony counts. And I defeated him in federal court three times when his administration tried to take away my White House press pass.
Donald Trump is a stone cold loser.
He knows it, and his minions know it. So they are, like they did four years ago, trying to manipulate the political machinery in the United States in the very likely event he loses again. These machinations include but are not limited to, trying to steal, suppress, discount, and refuse votes, as well as potentially encouraging armed resistance to congressional certification of the election.

To be blunt, under no circumstances will Donald Trump accept a defeat because to do so means that he will ultimately have to go to prison and thats the one thing Trump simply cant accept. As one former Trump associate explains, Trump would rather go out in a blaze of inglorious violence.

I dont see how Trump overcomes it. The Trump faithful may be saying, I know youre not good for me, but youve become a part of me, as Martha and the Vandellas sang. But truth be told, at this point I think Trumps tired old tropes are too tired to hustle a majority of Americans into voting for him and more importantly, I dont think his demented disinformation can effectively win the electoral college. ...............(more)
