The Washington Post has taken fearmongering to a whole new level, projecting that all election scenarios but a Joe Biden landslide will result in violence and chaos in the streets.
Georgetown University professor Rosa Brooks authored the Thursday
articletitled, “What’s the worst that could happen? The election will likely spark violence — and a constitutional crisis.”
The “experts” gathered by the Transition Integrity Project (co-founded by Brooks) war-gamed what they determined to be the four most likely scenarios.
They were “a narrow Biden win; a big Biden win, with a decisive lead in both the electoral college and the popular vote; a Trump win with an electoral college lead but a large popular-vote loss, as in 2016; and finally, a period of extended uncertainty as we saw in the 2000 election.”
“A landslide for Joe Biden resulted in a relatively orderly transfer of power. Every other scenario we looked at involved street-level violence and political crisis,” Brooks wrote.
It’s almost like the group was trying to both create a self-fulfilling prophecy and generate fear within the American public of a Trump second term.
The experts who played out the Republican side in the Transition Integrity Project’s war game rank among the most vocal of the NeverTrumpers, including conservative commentator Bill Kristol and former Republican National Committee chair Michael Steele.
On the Democratic side, participants included former Hillary Clinton campaign chair John Podesta, former interim Democratic National Committee chair Donna Brazile and former Michigan Gov. Jennifer Granholm.What do all these people have in common? They hate Trump, and they assume the worst about him.
The people engaging in violence right now are left-wingers like Black Lives Matter activists and members of antifa.
The Washington Post painted a hypothetical in which Trump refuses to step down, citing his refusal to say whether he’ll honor the election results.
Instead of holing himself up in the White House as The Post suggested, however, Trump has simply said he may have to challenge the outcome legally.
Remember the 2000 election? Al Gore conceded and then pulled back his concession to George W. Bush and a legal battle ensued.
Hillary Clinton has yet to accept the 2016 election results, consistently casting doubt on Trump’s win. The Obama administration foisted
Russiagateon the country.

Obviously, I’m not advocating Trump do anything of the sort, but he is wise to keep his powder dry regarding the possibility of challenging the results, especially given the mail-in voting irregularities seen in New Jersey and New York this past spring and summer. Etc. etc. yakyak woof woof
