Just, fuck Trump for not conceding, and for whipping up his cult to the point where this is what happens.

Who fucking knows? I bet this is what Trump wanted. To be able to delay Bidens certification and create confusion.

I don't think he's anywhere near intelligent enough to plan things like that... buuuuuut it definitely works in his favor in terms of muddying the waters.
