Hiring firms to investigate the 2020 election, launching lawsuits (he lost 61 out of 62), he still insisted he "won by a landslide" even though his closest advisors told him that he lost - he stubbornly refused to accept it though he obviously knew. His last ditch effort was to force Mike Pence to throw out the electors that he was only supposed to count in his ceremonial role as president of the Senate - and his refusal is what resulted in the violence of January 6th. And, has been said, the advisors who told him the truth are long gone - and he's now only surrounded by those willing to lie and cheat for him, pursuing their own agendas.

If only he'd been tried and convicted in a timely manner for his unprecedented and illegal actions on January 6th - or if his lies had been shut down beforehand, but the "peaceful transfer of power" has never failed before in our history, even in Bush* v Gore. I'm just hoping that his illegal actions this time around have been anticipated and planned for.
