A false, familiar claim by the former president — that the contest in which he’s participating is “rigged” — has reached a fever pitch in this cycle.

This was a key thing he did which made it psychologically possible to launch a coup attempt on Jan. 6, so doubling down on it now suggests that he’s going to attempt something like it if he loses.

    This is why people are not ready. What the republiQan party is contributing to - the kind of chaos and instability they’re willingly agreeing to inflict in order for a shot at more power is unconscionable. The massive uptick in narcissistic sociopaths in the GQP is no coincidence.

    Your parent’s republican party should be ashamed, but that’s never stopped them before and it sure as shit won’t stop them now.
