The inevitable is coming (#4304)

      The trumps are slowly being backed into a corner and they are starting to feel the pressure. More republicans are coming out and stating that Joe Biden should be receiving intel briefings. This step forward toward the legitimacy of the Biden presidency is a step away from trump and his denialist strategy. We know trump knows he lost but for now trump finds it more advantageous to himself, not our country, to play along with his "I won" narrative. He is raking in the dough from his duped followers and for trump that is a salve he can accept.
     However, the rest of us in our nation are being disserved by trump's selfish ploy and as of yet we have had no demonstrable harm, however harm is just waiting to appear if this continues. Today should mark some change in the trump obstruction of Biden as Arizona has now been called for Biden giving him 290 electoral votes, which is too much a climb for trump to overcome. So expect even more pressure to come from trump financial supporters like sheldon adelson, who told trump already that he should concede. If trump fails to heed the advice he is being given from his own corner he will soon learn that everything has a price. In this case a price trump will have to pay that he will not like.
     So the inevitable is coming like that light in the tunnel screaming down the track toward the opening it has earned and deserves. Joe Biden will be given his due and nothing trump does will change that. All this talk of a coup and or some kind of refusal to concede will only hurt trump and the republican party, it will not stop the duly elected president who will be sworn in on January 20th. The refusal of trump may well also influence the Georgia senate runoffs where democrats will have a real chance to reclaim the senate majority. That election is just 43 days from now and if trump keeps on acting like a petulant child he will undoubtedly convince moderate Georgia voters that anything republican at the moment is a shameful and undemocratic path.
