I think that article I read is going to be prophetic. It really does seem that all roads lead back to Mitch McConnell.
If the Republicans had a clear majority in the Senate, McConnell would have been pushing his colleagues to call for a smooth transition of power. But he needs at least 1 of the 2 runoff elections to go to a Republican. He needs Trump to remain potent in order to drive turnout amongst Trump’s base. The last thing he wants is for Trump to go off to Maralago in a huff and refuse to hold rallies to support Purdue and Loeffler.
I imagine Trump’s attempts to steal the election will keep the QAnon movement alive. If he had accepted the loss (which of course would never have happened), QAnon conspiracists would have wandered around in a daze like the joggers who had been following Forrest Gump when Forrest told them to go home.
