Non-Concession of U.S. Elections - A Scene From a Dictatorship


 

It was expected....Trump suggested that he would not go easily if he lost the 2020 election. But, it is unimaginable that he would further tarnish his reputation by stubbornly holding out after losing not only the electoral college but the popular vote. However, one has to wonder if he simply has a fear of the unknown that he will have to face when he returns to becoming a regular citizen. The legal protections that afford him as president will no longer be available. After four years of using the legal system at his every desire, it will be difficult to no longer have that safeguard. More so, the high expenses for frivolous legal challenges will come out of his pocket and no longer be taxpayers' responsibility. Yes, it's frightening to go back to the real world and give up so many benefits that have afforded an untouchable life. But, eventually, the dream will end and reality will return. It's just a matter of time.
