The Next Two Months...And Four Years...Will be a True Test for American Democracy
Trump has made himself clear even as Biden secured the 270 electoral votes needed to secure his election as the next president of the United States. Through speeches, official statements, and tweets, the current president assured the general public that he is not yet backing down, taking the election to the next stage of recounts and legal conflicts. During this whole process, his supporters stood by him, calling for vote count stoppages, recounts, and throwing out "illegal" votes wherever it suits the incumbent, and for every online article that celebrated the Democratic victory, hundreds of social media posts called that the election is not yet over, echoing Trump himself.
