Speaking as an outside observer of the US, my sense of what's happening with the refusal of Trump & co. to acknowledge the (big, undeniable) election loss, is that they went all in on voter suppression and it didn’t work, and now they’re desperately trying to talk what they want
into reality. As Trump has done (and mostly failed at) for almost everything, as in "like a miracle, it will disappear".

But all this yelling about a fake election I think maybe serves another purpose (besides just a grift) for them, which is that in forcing everyone else to
defend the integrity of the elections, it makes it harder to properly investigate the Republicans afterward.

Because after all, between USPS and voter suppression efforts and disinformation and I suspect hacked machines in FLA and GA, any election rigging that has happened has
been done by the Republicans. When they yell about something illegal, it’s always projection with them, always.

Everything reeks of the desperation of cornered rats, because in the end, these people aren't fighting to stay in office, they're fighting to stay out of jail.
