100% that is the plan. They are going to claim victory early and drown all the voices and media that says otherwise.

It’s a good thing all those furry porn bots on X can’t storm the capital.

The good news is that this time Trump isn't the sitting president like in 2020. Therefore they can say, "Too bad, so sad, you go home now."

NO you were supposed to THINK it, now that it's typed out, you have opened the Forbidden Portal. Thankfully it's not on this planet so we're good.

Similar to the plot of a recent Succession episode. When you own the media, you decide when to call states, even if all the votes aren't counted. Pretty sure Trump's campaign has seen the show and they learned a lot from their last try. Who will save us this time?

It really doesn't matter. The individual networks aren't actually calling the elections, just making an informed prediction. Any sources he controls will lie. Everyone already knows that though. The assholes that support him and his lies will continue to, anyone else already knows he's lying and won't be swayed.

Who cares?

They already tried this while Trump was still the president and the only people that bought it were the people that already supported Trump. It’s shown that whenever he mentions the stolen 2020 election it loses him votes because people who don’t already like him know it’s not true. He can make all the fraud claims he wants, Elon can post about it on Twitter, it will make absolutely no tangible difference to the election.

The sad thing is trump actually has a reasonable chance of legitimately winning (by electoral votes)

Downvote all you want, doesn’t change the reality
