Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel worries that former President Donald Trump may not accept the results of the upcoming general election if he loses — in part because of whom he might lose to.
“My belief is this: If Donald Trump had such a difficult time conceding that he lost to another older White man, he is definitely not going to be OK in the event that he loses a presidential election to a younger Black woman,” Nessel told reporters Monday, referencing Vice President Kamala Harris’ expected place at the top of the Democratic ticket. “And I am very concerned about what plans he and his allies might have to be disruptive to the 2024 election.”

“He’s already said if he doesn’t win, it’s because it was stolen. And I mean, that is so frightening — ‘Either I win, or it’s not fair,’” she said.
No matter who wins the election, it’s going to be a shitshow. We’ve known this. It is merely a question of to what degree.
Things are looking much better now than they were a couple weeks ago, but I didn’t believe for a second this wild ride just stops after a Harris victory. If anything it will embolden them. They will go from “weird” to “outright treasonous on a massive scale” with even greater fervor this time around, I fear.
On the other hand, this time around, they have lost the element of surprise that January 6th had. We can expect this shit now, and that means the capitol police will likely be better prepared for shit to hit the fan.
