I really dont get what the point of this stupid little speech by Trump was. Like... I get the message of "we must make sure that Democrats in Atlanta, Philadelphia and Detroit dont suddenly find boxes full of ballots that they forgot in a warehouse over night", and I get his indignation at the early Fox call in AZ.
But he could have gotten this message across without attacking the election process itself, without prematurely claiming victory, and without calling for blatant double standards (keep counting in AZ and NV where I'm trailing, stop counting asap in the states where I'm leading). He only shot himself in the foot with this stunt. And he also did a massive disservice to the GOP senators who have a runoff coming up. Clips of Trump prematurely claiming victory in GA will be plastered all over the local airwaves to rile up the Dem base.
Democrats gaslight.
A week from now they would pretend that nothing unusual happened.
Trump forced them to accept that they fucked up and created a national embarrassment.
