    He doesn’t give a shit. He firmly believes that the fix is in and regardless of what happens, he’ll just win with slates of fake electors from trump states, or failing that, the court. He (and his people) don’t honestly believe that the actual vote means shit.

    And the sad reality is is that he’s got a good shot at being absolutely right about that.

      Unfortunately, his “I don’t give a shit” demeanor literally endears him to his voters.

      They vote for him because they firmly feeeeeel that gubmit is holding their rugged individualism back and needs to be destroyed.

      Of course their throats would be coughing up blood from all the screaming the millisecond one of the government services they don’t appreciate or even realize they receive all day every day stopped happening.

      But having abandoned, or never having had, basic critical thinking and reasoning skills, they’d just blame all the out groups they despise for the consequences of their own votes.
