Bill is kinda missing the point, though: you won't have to worry about him losing gracefully because, thanks to his high-placed cheats + bullies, he won't lose at all. He has the Supreme Court in his pocket, a faction of the FBI (remember 2016?), + the Oathkeepers _ whom Democrats *never* talk about. The Oathkeepers are "ex" military + police who pretend to be about ensuring honest voting: of course, they only show up to key Democrat polling stations (usually black), to intimidate people *inside* _ and nobody stops them. (Remember all those black Obama voters in Hillary Clinton's "safe states" who suddenly didn't show up + handed them to Trump?) If it was any other country, the opposition party would be screaming their heads off + the UN would be denouncing it as not a "free and fair" election. But in the USA? Not a squeak. And that's before I even get into the fact that, as incumbent President, if he gives an order to the military, police or intelligence services, enough of them will obey. Or putting it another way, *not* enough of them will be organised *against* him: in fact, they will probably think that they don't have the Constitutional right.

For instance, my county has a fee of $1200 per day per 5000 attendants. These fees have been paid by Trump's campaign. The estimation of close to $400,000 dollars unpaid, are exaggerated and/or hidden costs that apply to the city that no concert or other big event pays.

[@jamesmarshall6619]

you guys have to stop overthinking this and being so scared of Trump. He's done everything possible to alienate himself from the people he works with. If he loses come January 20 Trump no longer has presidential powers, the secret service will have him removed. Even the heads of departments won't be able to overcome thousands of people who no longer will listen to and work with Trump trying to stay. Leaders who do that either have earned loyalty from the many or they have the power to kill/lock up their political rivals. Trump not only doesn't have that power, we've already seen the military defy him when they can. You think all of these people are going to suddenly start listening to someone they obviously can't stand? Trump's power is compliant supporters, which are in the minority, and the powers the presidency bestows upon him. Without the powers of the presidency he has nothing, not the loyalty of the people in the agencies he works for, he no longer has the law, he mostly has a bunch of old people who will be upset their guy didn't win. What will Democrats do for January 20th? Bring all of their people to the inauguration as their size will overwhelm anything Trump will do and the secret service will honor their job responsibilities.
