Trump's Coup Attempt

Trying to come up with what benefit Trump thinks he'll gain personally from this and that's the only one I can. Who knows why he thinks it's good for him.

I'm sure many of you think he's dumb enough to think he honestly believes he can win in court but I don't. This is a dumb sideshow, and the whole thing is laughably silly IMO that so many are taking it any more seriously than a SNL skit.

One personal reason that i can think of. He has raised millions of dollars for his legal teams fund to fight the election results. (Spoiler alert, it isnt going to his legal team). So number one, he is getting hella money from this.

It's 100% hubris. There's no strategy here - no long game.

He's lived most of his adult life insulated from his mistakes and failures by a thick layer of *** kissers and yes men - he wants to wish this away like everything else that doesn't fit his reality.

Yeah, the grift from his followers is there as an ancillary benefit - but he does that with everything. If it wasn't this it'd be Trump University or Trump Steaks or Trump Vodka, etc....
 
Look, I know I am going to come across as a conspiracy monger when I say this, but I can't shake the feeling that the thing that best explains all of Trump's actions is that he is indeed Putin's patsy. If you look at his presidency through the lens of who benefits, the answer is primarily Russia. We are retreating from being the sole super power, our alliances are fraying, we have state representatives openly calling for secession from the US and the formation of an alternative union of like minded states.

A divided US is a weaker competitor on the international stage. And we are certainly more divided than we have ever been in my life time.

I think there is obviously a lot more to all this then we can see. But I also think it's partly psychological issues, such as rampant narcissistic personality disorder, and I think everyone on board with the hijacking of the election is exhibiting a form of mass delusion or hysteria. Collective obsessional behavior for one. This actually describes Trump's behavior and rabid supporters pretty well. And it's pretty damn scary.

In sociology and psychology, mass hysteria (also known as mass psychogenic illness, collective hysteria, group hysteria, or collective obsessional behavior) is a phenomenon that transmits collective illusions of threats, whether real or imaginary, through a population and society as a result of rumors and fear.[1][2]

On Saturday, Mr. Trump lost yet another court case, as a federal judge in Wisconsin, Judge Brett H. Ludwig, who was appointed to the court by Mr. Trump this year, said his claims “fail as a matter of law and fact.” The case was dismissed with prejudice, meaning Mr. Trump is barred from bringing cases on similar grounds in that district.

Another day, another loss.
 
Republican state legislators across the country are already contemplating new laws to make voting harder, as they continue to falsely portray the expansion and ease of mail-in voting during the pandemic as nefarious. Many of them view this year’s expanded voting ranks as bad for their party, despite Republican successes further down the ballot. Their consideration of new voting restrictions amounts to an ongoing attack on the integrity of the voting system, involving still more false and debunked claims.

“There is an anti-democratic virus that has spread in mainstream Republicanism, among mainstream Republican elected officials,” said Dale Ho, director of the Voting Rights Project at the A.C.L.U. “And that loss of faith in the machinery of democracy is a much bigger problem than any individual lawsuit.”
