...using Trump’s branded method of speaking and projection, subliminal messages to his losers about how they should react. He does not say go shoot somone, he just suggests it will happen, and pretending like he would be against that. Of course his solution is to overturn the election to prevent this tragedy.
And never overlook that even though Republican individuals have stood up to Trump at the State level, The GOP has an entity has supported his actions
When you hear chants of lock him up, the name Trump should jump to the forefront.

But passions are not dissipating; they are exploding. Republicans across the country, from Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (Ky.) down to county GOP chairs, are inflaming them with their encouragement or their acquiescence. Violence seems ever more possible when President-elect Joe Biden’s victory becomes official — if not before. Short of that, Mr. Trump is creating a new playbook for failed candidates: Rile the base; delegitimize your opponent’s victory; pressure state officials to flip the results. This strategy could be far more potent in a closer election. It threatens the foundations of U.S. democracy.
