He is going to go the Erdogan / Putin route. Yes, he is not going to go anywhere if he loses. -- nm* - Jovian Jul 22, 10:11 27
- Can we wager on this? -- nm - Strongbad Jul 22, 10:37 2
  - I'm with you. He takes his ball and goes home. - Judge Bane Jul 22, 10:41 1
    - yep. he wants a podium and an ability to make some scratch. -- nm - Diva Jul 22, 10:46
- Eh. He knows people will pay attention to him if he refuses to give the correct categorical answer. That's all this is. -- nm - znufrii, 2020 apocalypse bingo player Jul 22, 10:22 3
  - Or PDFTT? -- nm - spamlet Jul 22, 10:29 1
    - I mean, it's still incredibly damaging to our country every minute he's in office, but yeah. -- nm - znufrii still hasn't gotten a haircut Jul 22, 10:34
  - And like he's going to admit that he's contemplating a loss. -- nm - Reagen Jul 22, 10:25
- Maybe I'm just naive, but I don't think he has the support to not leave if he loses the election. - Dano Jul 22, 10:21
- I hear people say this, but honestly, in the US, I don't see "we the people" putting up with that. - sycor Jul 22, 10:18 7
  - I hope this is the case (and I'm reasonably confident that there will be a peaceful, if chaotic, transfer of power), but ... - Beryllium Jul 22, 10:24
  - This. And for those in doubt, it won't be up to him and/or some loyal fascist force. - Diva Jul 22, 10:20 5
    - I think he's pissed off the military plenty for one thing. -- nm - Dano Jul 22, 10:24 4
      - yes. I think they'll be happy to escort an idiot quisling toddler out of office. One who allowed Russia to place a bounty on US troops and didn't -- (edited) - Diva Jul 22, 10:29 3
        
        Die hard Trump supporter friend is a veteran. This was the thing that turned her into a third party voter at the very least. -- nm - Dano Jul 22, 10:45
        
        And that's just what we know about. - Strongbad Jul 22, 10:39
        
        Exactly. -- nm - David Jul 22, 10:32
- it is my understanding that if he tries that the Secret Service is obligated to remove him at Inauguration - Diva Jul 22, 10:16 9
  - That's why he needs his own force with an oath of loyalty specifically to him. -- nm - Beryllium Jul 22, 10:17 8
    - and they would be taken out by the military who now report to a different Commander-In-Chief. -- nm - Diva Jul 22, 10:23
    - It would be a mathematically insignificant number relative to the size of the actual military plus motivated citizens. -- nm - David Jul 22, 10:23 6
      - Plus you know bombers and shit. -- nm - spamlet Jul 22, 10:28 4
        
        If he wants to be pulled out of a bunker crying while perp walked in January that's fine with me. - Diva Jul 22, 10:33 3
        
        God help us if your IM comes true. -- nm - sycor Jul 22, 10:36 2
        
        It would be chaotic and horrible and a fitting end to his admin which has been the same. And the visuals, Dear Lord the visuals... -- nm - Diva Jul 22, 10:38 1

      - this -- nm - Diva Jul 22, 10:24
- ie Dictator for life -- nm - Jovian Jul 22, 10:13
Both are possible. If you had a loyal fascist force, you could obstruct electoral processes. -- nm - Beryllium Jul 22, 10:10 8
- Please don't give him oxygen. -- nm - David Jul 22, 10:17 7
  - hey I need oxygen to breathe! -- nm - Jovian Jul 22, 10:25
  - Yes, I understand that it sounds like cloud cuckoo land. But I'm looking at it from an outside perspective, and I'm not liking what I'm seeing either. -- nm - Beryllium Jul 22, 10:17 5
    - Please don't give conspiracy theories oxygen. It's how we all sound crazy. -- nm - David Jul 22, 10:22 4
      - In a world of chaos, wrinkle-free pants keep me sane. -- nm - Beryllium Jul 22, 10:25
      - this. it's bad enough we're actually arguing about masks. -- nm - Diva Jul 22, 10:24 2
        
        In your defense, that's happening in parts of Canada, too. :) -- nm - Beryllium Jul 22, 10:26 1
        
        Calgary's protest brought out like 12 people. Calgary! -- nm - Reagen Jul 22, 10:27
