By delegitimizing mail-in ballots Trump is shooting himself in the foot. According to the latest @nytimes data, +54m voted absentee in this election. 24m (44%) of those votes were cast for Trump. Are only mail-in votes cast for his opponent fraudulent? /1

If you delegitimize legitimate votes and undermine democracy everyone loses. On avg. absentee votes across the country even leaned towards Trump. It was only in population centers where absentee ballots leaned towards Biden (which ultimately caused the blue shift and his win). /2
If he was so concerned about mail-in ballots why did he not try to ensure that everyone can vote safely instead of ranting non-stop about it? The answer is as simple as it is terrifying. His problem isn't mail-in votes. It's everyone who dares to voice opposition to him. /3
And to quell opposition he has no qualms to throw even his own supporters, the people who trust him and put their faith in him, under the bus. He would be king of the ashes if it means he can be king. The world will be a better place when Donald Trump is finally out of power. /4
It's also worth noting here that the share of late votes counted skew significantly in Trump's favor in Arizona and North Carolina. /5
