Trump has done the same thing every time he can see himself losing. He did the same in 2016 before the election, saying the election was fixed. A quote from the Washington Post book launch.
"He has a ready answer for your question. When things go right he was fully prepared he knew what to do and he takes all the credit. And when things go wrong, and we sh this in various stages throughout his career, when things go wrong the system is rigged. And we have heard these words from him in recent weeks. And that is exactly the phrase that he uses throughout his life when he is faced with troubles or failure. so when you hear that now you can sort of see the gears moving, he is not oblivious to his position in the polls, and so he is preparing himself and all of us for the message that he will have for all of us if he loses."

Speaker Pelosi just confirmed that if members of Congress were accomplices in the attack on the Capitol, actions will have to be taken BEYOND Congress. That means PRISON, folks.

How do some of these morons get elected? This nasty skank boebert was serving beer in a bar and got elected because she carried a gun? She doesn't know shit about anything. She's a qanon nutcase that campaigned on crap like "I'm going to shake things up in Washington". She's also the slut that tweeted out that they had moved Pelosi during the middle of the mele.
What the hell is going on out there in Colorado? How in the hell did she get elected?

Data mining voter information/data you have across all districts and pick a handful that that you know you have a large enough cult there that will vote in the Trumpiest nut. Then over a couple years their trolls spam them enough to get them to vote, while depressing the vote of the other people that could care less in a primary for that district.How do some of these morons get elected?

Then knowing the district is very safe for Trump to win, making it easy to push through these crazies.
Wash/rinse/repeat. Shitty thing is they can easily do this on the left too by pushing the worst candidates that they can then use to further polarize the 'conservatives' against the Democratic party.
The worst part is that the candidate doesn't even need to be in on the scam and is basically a useful idiot at best.

Prosecutors say Capitol rioters sought 'to capture and assassinate elected officials'
Federal prosecutors are now alleging that some of the individuals who stormed the U.S. Capitol during last week's deadly riot sought to harm elected officials.
The new detail came in a court filing Thursday, in which federal prosecutors in Arizona pushed to keep Jacob Anthony Chansley, known as “QAnon Shaman,” in detention, arguing that he was a flight risk. Chansley — who was seen wearing fur and horns in the Capitol— was charged last week with knowingly entering or remaining in any restricted building or grounds without lawful authority, and with violent entry and disorderly conduct on Capitol grounds.
Prosecutors wrote that “strong evidence, including Chansley’s own words and actions at the Capitol, supports that the intent of the Capitol rioters was to capture and assassinate elected officials in the United States Government.”
The memorandum states that Chansley left a note for Vice President Pence at the Senate chamber dais that read “it’s only a matter of time, justice is coming.” When asked what the note meant, authorities say Chansley went on a “lengthy diatribe” describing Pence and other U.S. leaders “as infiltrators involved in various types of wrongdoing.”
Prosecutors also stated that Chansley has said he wants to return to D.C. for President-elect Joe Biden’s inauguration, and has the ability to do so. They said he could quickly raise money for travel “as one of the leaders and mascots of QAnon.”
The memorandum comes as authorities build cases against the rioters who stormed the Capitol building. The Washington Post reported last week that the FBI was investigating whether rioters sought to harm lawmakers or staff.

IBM’S POST-INSURRECTION POLICY PLAN — Forget pausing political donations — tech giant IBM today is calling for industry and government alike to get behind policy changes to help prevent future political violence following last week’s insurrection at the Capitol. A slew of major corporations — including tech and telecom giants like Google, Facebook and Microsoft — have suspended those contributions as part of their response to the attack. But in a blog post out this morning, IBM executive Christopher Padilla wrote that the U.S. has to go far beyond “organizations temporarily withholding political money to take a stand.”
— Key context: IBM, Apple, Twitter and several other prominent tech companies either don’t have PACs or have dissolved them in recent years, a sign that some industry leaders think the cost of publicly backing political candidates outweighs the benefits.
— What IBM is proposing: Padilla is calling for Congress to codify a clearer set of rules and requirements around the presidential transition process, so it’s less reliant on “historical traditions and customs.” He’s also urging Congress and the incoming Biden administration to strengthen the Hatch Act, which limits civil servants from engaging in certain political activity, and to revamp how the federal government approaches vacancies. Padilla wrote that “shuffling political allies into acting leadership roles within federal agencies to evade accountability to Congress erodes trust in government and demoralizes federal workers.”
