He is clearly not interested in governing.

Its been over a week since the election and he has no interest in reigning in covid, hasn't taken a national security briefing, or anything worthy of moving the country forward.

What gives?

The problem with this guy that will never be accepted again in politics

Thus this does not means republicans will not do it again with another one, much more skilled. Worse.

It's not about giving Trump a second term. Presidents are temporary, Wu Tang is forever. It's about stopping and catching election fraud and corruption in the United States governemnt before it's impossible too..

I think that there are a plethora of very valid reasons why people want a second term of Trump--which, in many ways, I read more as a second term of Republican leadership for some. There are definitely many right-wing folks who actively like Trump, and many more moderates who aren't super big on Trump as a person, but are in alignment with him by way of the two-party system and the limitations therein. Some reasons I can think of include:

- If you're from places like the Iron Range in Minnesota or any other areas of 'Coal Country', then Trump is the clear winner in terms of short-term necessity. The left does wonderfully about thinking of thinks at a systems-level, but sometimes does horribly at thinking at a local or individual level. When you have Democrats saying that they're either going to "put coal miners/mining companies out of business" or "ban fracking", it does little to build confidence and a feeling of support in people whose entire families and towns have been built around crude oil, coal, or fracking. Many people in these areas describe themselves as "single-issue voters", and understandably so. Trump is the candidate between the major 2 that at least says that he'll be bringing jobs back to coal country and cementing job security (Whether this happens in actuality is a different story though).

- Trump's foreign policy record from a war perspective is actually pretty good. The United States hasn't entered a new war (at least not a major one that I can think of) since he's been in office. This has been nice to see after more than a decade's worth of unnecessary wars.

- Trump made major in-roads with minority voters that Republicans haven't seen for several decades. This is largely, I guess, a result of push-back forming against the left. Again, the left thinks in a very systemic way at the expense of individual considerations. They've historically treated minorities as a monolith and as tokens, and people are understandably getting sick of that. Even though people will chalk it up as a poor joke, Biden's "If you vote for [Trump] then you ain't Black" is certainly a reflection of the sentiment many white people on the left have with regards to minorities.

- People are very concerned about the role and power of China in international politics, and Trump has taken a very strong, vocal opposition to China's authoritarian practices.

Edit: You don't have 71 million people vote for Trump without reason(s).

if you were genuinely interested in fair elections, you'd ask why republicans purge voter rolls, close polling stations, undermine public confidence in elections, disenfranchise as many voters as possible, deliberately targeting (demonstrably, by their own admission) potentially democratic leaning districts and demographics.
instead you uncritically accept baseless accusations of alleged systematic voter fraud by democrats without a shred of evidence.

this is not about corruption or principles, this is about your "team" losing and you not being able to accept it...

Republicans want to purge voter rolls regularly because the voter rolls have been proven inaccurate. I don't really see a problem with purging the rolls and re-registering, all I have to do to register is mail in a piece of paper.
I haven't seen any evidence of closed polling stations.
It's only considered undermining the publics confidence in elections if you hate Trump with some bias. It's actually saving the United States from a corrupt election that screams fraud in multiple places (ignoring that is wilful ignorance)
There is evidence to many of the sworn statements and TONS of other evidence I have shared here. It's also all over social media, but you have to get past all the "Trump is a fraud" crap to find it in between.
