I'd like them to step up too. But I suspect they will never legitimize Biden's win- just as they refused to do so with Obama. "Stolen election," "legal votes," whatever they will say- it's the new birtherism, the "original sin" argument for obstruction for four more years.

Or maybe it's "Dominionism".
Yep

The optimistic part of me believes the fact that many Trumpists are now forced to entirely secede from the reality-based discourse means they will dwindle in numbers and have less power. The pessimistic part of me reckons this will simply drive more violent extremism.
The optimistic part of me wants to regard Biden's victory as a repudiation of Trump. The pessimistic part of me knows the failure to make gains in state legislatures, Congress and a longshot in the Senate means Trumpism is alive and well.
The optimistic part of me believes we can make progress on a number of issues and hopefully provide people with a true distinction between the party options. The pessimistic side of me sees more gridlock and obstruction ahead, which drives more people away.

I, uh, don't care for this lede, not at all. Black Lives Matter and Q Anon are not comparable political extremes, as they are set up here. One is an insane conspiracy, the other is a racial justice movement grounded very much in reality. Change this. nytimes.com/2020/11/13/us/…
Paragraph TWENTY ONE we get a reminder what Q Anon is: "...whose convoluted theory claims falsely that a cabal of Satan-worshiping, pedophile Democrats is plotting against President Trump."
@lukebroadwater @ESCochrane as a subscriber I strongly feel this needs urgent revision

Donald Trump's Refusal to Concede is Killing People:
From the pandemic to national security risks, this is indeed not a peaceful transfer of power. Americans will pay the price in blood... read today's installment of American Interregnum: americaninterregnum.substack.com/p/donald-trump…

The Press Secretary is a full time employee of the federal government, but this one spends all of her time representing the Trump campaign (and thus spreading lies). I do hope @CREWcrew and other groups are considering what ways to hold her to account for what may be a crime.
You have to wonder how or if @kayleighmcenany is cut in on the take.
Or maybe she just wants a job when he does this. axios.com/trump-fox-news…

This is Emily Murphy, @GSAEmily. She is the Trump political appointee who is presently refusing to recognize Biden's victory and release funds for the transition to commence. She also helped cover for Trump's profiting off his DC hotel while POTUS. washingtonpost.com/politics/trump…
“Her action now has to be condemned,” said Rep @GerryConnolly, who leads a House oversight panel on federal operations. “It’s behavior that is consistent with her subservience to wishes of the president himself, and it is clearly harmful to the orderly transition of power.”
Lives are at stake: "The delay has already gummed up discussions on critical issues, including plans to distribute a possible coronavirus vaccine, this official said."

1/ Next week will be the beginning of a very turbulent period. Trump’s loss will be called, and apart from pursuing grievances and handing out goodies and pardons to his cronies, I reckon he will start to check out.
2/ Some of his advisors will abandon ship. There will be firings, and those that seek to capitalize on the dirt they have will begin to cash in their chips. Expect leaks. But the White House will start to unravel, even as COVID19 spreads amongst the staff- driving many away.
3/ The Biden transition, which needs to stand up a government and begin installing 4,000 political appointees in a pandemic and must face GOP recalcitrance, will have no help from the bitter enders. Rather, it can expect sabotage.
