Thanks for this update, Jon.

You’ve moved from denial to bargaining, with occasional signs of decathexis.
That’s progress.

Dream on, Alice. I'll send you a get well card when Biden loses and they have to commit you.

Pretty much.
Trump’s antics will continue. But that’s all they are at this point.
I do hope he appeals his PA case to Scotus. I’m not yet tired of watching him lose.

Whatever will you do when you find out he lost?

Think Trump will tweet about "taking back" his nominations for some or all of the three justices he nominated to the Supreme Court after he loses his election case there? That will be hilarious to watch.

He could always try and pack the SCOTUS between now and January. Steve Bannon, Glenn Beck, Ann Coulter....

That would be hilarious too, probably more so considering Ann Coulter is glad that Trump lost.

You and Trump are playing two different board games.

I think that's true. @jon-nyc is happy just to see Trump loses, maybe get a few more laughs at Trump's expense if Trump continues to try to overturn the election's results; that's the extent of @jon-nyc's "board game." Trump is more interested in keeping up the appearance of trying to overturn the election results to stroke his own ego and/or fleece his supporters for more resources to finance his next scheme after he leaves the White House in January 2021; which is of course a different "board game" than @jon-nyc's.

Or more concisely, I’m celebrating democracy, he’s undermining it.
To your point, though, the board games couldn’t be more different.

No, you have it backwards. The democrats tried to steal the election. If that comes as a surprise to you then you haven't been paying attention for the past 12 years. Hillary tried to steal it from Obama. Hillary and the DNC DID steal the nomination from Bernie - twice. Al Gore even tried to steal it and I didn't hear you crowing about saving our democracy from him. They tried to steal it from Trump the first time, but failed. Then they spent the next 4 years engaging in treason using their failed attempt to steal the election as an excuse to overthrow a sitting president. Now they're trying to steal it again. You aren't celebrating democracy - You may have convinced yourself of that - but the facts prove what I just laid out. Whether you realize it or not, what you're actually celebrating is the potential end of democracy as we are forced to accept a totalitarian Socialist takeover.

I think Jon is just trying to call attention away from the last four years of massive attempts to dethrone the President via attacks from most institutions. Of course by Jon’s tortured definition these were just politics and “norms” which are so different from Trump’s full throated assault on democracy. I guess I’ll have to wait for that amazingly object historian Meachum to appreciate the gravity of what almost happened.
