> I will be shocked if Trump doesn't run again.

I would be pretty shocked if Trump ran.

But I'd be more shocked if he didn't spend the next 4 years mouthing off & sewing discontent & pissing about as though he were running. Making a big stink, and pulling in millions of millions of dollars.

There is no reason for him not to run since he doesn't care about the Republican party and it's long term viability.

I'm not sure how much money Trump made from the last election in merchandising but it wouldn't have been a small number.

We haven't quite entered the era where politics is used to sell action figures, but we're not far off.

If Trump runs in 2024 and wins by 8M votes I wonder how Republicans will take it when his opponent disputes the results using the exact same tactics he's using now?

If I were the Dems I'd have Giuliani on retainer and ready to go.

Being a republican doesn't make you part of some gestalt consciousness. I imagine the reactions will be the same as those of democrats I've seen so far: everything from bemused indifference to posting about a coup every day on social media.

To quote Don Draper from Mad Men (s02e05): "[The dispute/non-concession] never happened. It will shock you how much it never happened."
