Since the 2020 presidential election got underway two days ago now, Donald Trump and his team have been peddling more ridiculous, destructive, and downright dangerous nonsense in the span of 48 hours than they have over the course of the past few years — and that’s really saying something. And it’s all because Donald Trump is losing.
Now, don’t get me wrong, the race has been a tight one, the tightest of my lifetime, for sure. And it is true that the possibility of this race going either way still remains. However, the pathways available for Vice President Joe Biden and those available for Donald Trump are enormously different. And to say that they lean in the former VP’s favor would be an understatement.
As we get down to the last few battleground states, who are now tallying up their mail-in ballots after first counting up their in-person votes, the few places where Donald did have a lead on his Democratic opponent are narrowing in a rapid kind of way.
It was clear that Donald’s hope was that his supporters would turn up in droves for in-person voting and blow the Democratic mail-ins out of the water and it’s just not turning out that way. In fact, quite the opposite is happening. And it’s giving them fits.

As we wade deep into our second day of this mess, the Trump campaign (complete with members of his family, including his children) have been quite high-strung. And in addition to the bullshit lawsuits flying out of every corner of the White House right now, they’re burning Twitter up.
Donald himself and his two oldest sons have spent their day tweeting out the most ridiculous nonsense their Adderall-fried brains can cook up, and just about every one of them has been slapped with a notice by Twitter, essentially telling the rest of us that it’s all a bunch of **malarkey**.
However, one particular tweet to flow forth from the fingertips of Donald’s namesake has gone too far.
Earlier today, the eldest Trump child, Donald Trump Jr., took to his Twitter account and appeared to quite literally suggest that his father should incite “total war” over this election. See for yourself:
The best thing for America’s future is for @realDonaldTrump to go to total war over this election to expose all of the fraud, cheating, dead/no longer in state voters, that has been going on for far too long.
It’s time to clean up this mess & stop looking like a banana republic!

Just in case this dangerous monstrosity of a tweet gets taken down, I’ve taken the liberty of grabbing a screenshot:
You can see in the screenshot where Twitter has already labeled the post as misinformation. But folks, this goes far and beyond falsehood.
The Trump campaign/family has become so desperate, so afraid of this impending loss, that they’re seemingly urging a TOTAL WAR.
It sounds to me as though someone is very afraid of prison.
