I don't remember where I read this, but there's this idea that the correctness of your understanding of the world can be demonstrated by your ability to predict the outcome.
With that spirit, how good is KIA's understanding? Will Trump be on office the day after inauguration or will it be Biden?
This question is not who you think SHOULD be in office, just who WILL be.
1 vote per person, and no you can't vote for your grandma.
My vote: Trump will still be there.
I previously posited here that Biden would easily take the election, and I was wrong, but then again so was everyone else in that thread.
But I have several reasons for thinking Trump will still be in office after inauguration. Redemption?
My reasoning:
-
He tweeted that there was 2.7 million fraudulent votes. Unlike many people here, I don't have a high opinion of Trump, but even I don't think he's that irresponsible to tweet something so massive unless there was a shred of truth to it.
-
Maybe his chances of each state isn't that great, but if Trump can conclusively prove through the court even 1 state to be systematically fraudulent, that would give him more than enough weight with conservatives to do literally anything with the election.
-
All 5 main contested states' senates are republican controlled.
-
And finally, because he's demonstrated that he's willing to go nuclear to get what he wants. Whether he remains in office much longer after inauguration day remains to be seen.

I believe Trump won the election, if it was played out legitimately. Otherwise that means: the Bellwether towns were wrong for the first time since the 50s; the method that asked people who they thought their friends voted for was wrong for the first time; the media who increased the inaccuracies with their polling, magically called the race accurately despite the shenanigans; all the whistleblowers who signed affidavits made it up; all the Democrats are correct to say no fraud happens during an election, despite banging on about election interference for 3 years; Biden and Kamala had more voters than Obama, despite the WalkAway movement; Democrats telling people to move to Georgia to vote in the runoffs is only an isolated incident for a fraud attempt; you don’t need to campaign much, conduct interviews or have many debates to win the election; Biden’s campaign manager was wrong when she said that many areas were closer than they thought, and Biden wasn’t going to perform as well as once thought; the Dominion whistleblower is going to lose her job for no reason other than lying to the public.
That’s quite a lot of things to simultaneously be incorrect at the same time. Where there’s smoke, there’s fire. There has to be a semblance of truth that isn’t just a little negligence. At the very least, it’s not over yet.
