I’ve been musing about what might happen if Trump loses the election.

Here are some random predictions:

Even if Biden were to have a landslide lead over Trump, the Trumpists will be yelling for years to come “We was robbed!”

In the interim period between the election and Trump leaving office:

Trumpists’ slogans will be “take the money and run” and “burn it down.”

Government money will flood into Trump properties..

Efforts will be made by legislators and Trumpist judges to make permanent the current distribution of wealth.

Deportation of immigrants of color will be expanded and speeded up.

William Barr will be hired by a posh law firm or become a lobbyist or defect to Russia or be appointed to the Supreme Court.

Trump will organize the largest ever legal defense fund and team to be ready to delay his being sent to jail.

Peace-criminals like Stephen Miller will find refuge in right-wing “think” tanks.

Racist gun-nuts will come out of the woodwork and parade in the cities to menace non-Nazis.

Large numbers of Trump’s minions and of his supporters in Congress will begin declaring they never really liked Trump.

Evangelical clergy who have supported Trump will begin, with crocodile tears, to confess “We have sinned,” and go on as usual.
