If this is accurate, then one of the two parties in the US believes that the only legitimate elections are the ones that they win. The question then becomes, if the GOP controls all 3 branches after the 2024 elections (which is very possible), then will they ever accept a loss again?

With the number of Supreme Court Justices they would likely have I don’t see any reason they would ever have to

They're already at the point where they won't accept losing elections & it looks like there will only be only minority party elections & appointments thereafter if they can credibly claim a win this November.

Keep on saying someone should get Trump and his lackeys on the stand and get them to admit that the only legitimate elections are one they win. Then point out that’s not a democracy. They will never accept a loss because they don’t believe in democracy.

I take solace in the fact that their teeth are going to fall out.

i think the question is more “why would they ever accept a loss again?”

The GOP is a will-to-power party. They will only "accept" a loss if it is by enough votes, which will always put normal people at a political disadvantage for being represented by good leaders.

No. They tried to steal our country from us in 2020 and they are in the process of trying again. We simply have to stop them.

This the logical conclusion of the delegitimization of all things Democratic process that Newt Gingrich supercharged, if not actually started...

No. We are facing the end of democracy and the end of government and politics as people knew them. It's over if they take power again. We will find out how badly things go and how many states are immediately willing to balkanize in the face of fascism but ultimately the union dies if they take it
