The post-election democratic erosion I warned about (npr.org/2020/11/15/935…) will only worsen if the President's campaign against the legitimacy of the election continues. Ignoring it won't make it go away.

Not a drill. The President’s campaign is trying to overturn an election they lost based on fictitious claims of widespread fraud. Even if they lose (and they will), this scorched earth strategy will further damage our democracy.
An incredibly dangerous precedent *already* Image
An attack on our system of government *even if it is doomed from the beginning* (and it is). The norms that make democracy possible are under assault. Nothing about this is ok. Image

No amount of $ is too much for this kind of legal expertise
"A $20,000-a-day rate would have made Mr. Giuliani, the former New York City mayor who has been Mr. Trump’s personal lawyer for several years, among the most highly compensated lawyers anywhere."

The threat to the peaceful transfer of power grows. Simultaneously sinister and laughable.
Normal stuff.
Nothing says the "American People's ALL-TIME favorite president" like losing the White House after your party's had it for a single term
