Oh, like what happened immediately after the Brexit referendum, then. Human history is merely a list of failing to learn from past mistakes.

Saw this in the wild. “The Feels” strike again. Trump won’t be inaugurated for another couple months. All he has done is name a bunch of wildly unqualified people to fill positions they may not even pass the Senate to serve in.

BUt iT FeELS LikE…

[G.B.Blackrock]

Hah, as if facts mean anything to him.

Indeed, he'll simply follow the 2016 and 2020 playbooks, pointing out that he HAD more than 50%, and then Democratic shenanigans (what sane people call "counting all the ballots") happened over a week after the election took place.
