Today Crowley sat by himself on a park bench in Berkeley Square, and listened.

But he didn't hear anything.

77 Days: Trump’s Campaign to Subvert the Election

Hours after the United States voted, the president declared the election a fraud — a lie that unleashed a movement that would shatter democratic norms and upend the peaceful transfer of power.

A great in-depth analysis of how Trump and his cronies attempted to overturn a lawful election.  Here are some excerpts:

By Thursday the 12th of November, President Donald J. Trump’s election lawyers were concluding that the reality he faced was the inverse of the narrative he was promoting in his comments and on Twitter. There was no substantial evidence of election fraud, and there were nowhere near enough “irregularities” to reverse the outcome in the courts.

Mr. Trump did not, could not, win the election, not by “a lot” or even a little. His presidency would soon be over.

Allegations of Democratic malfeasance had disintegrated in embarrassing fashion. A supposed suitcase of illegal ballots in Detroit proved to be a box of camera equipment. “Dead voters” were turning up alive in television and newspaper interviews.

[....]

As he met with colleagues to discuss strategy, the president’s deputy campaign manager, Justin Clark, was urgently summoned to the Oval Office. Mr. Trump’s personal lawyer, Rudolph W. Giuliani, was on speaker phone, pressing the president to file a federal suit in Georgia and sharing a conspiracy theory gaining traction in conservative media — that Dominion Systems voting machines had transformed thousands of Trump votes into Biden votes.

Mr. Clark warned that the suit Mr. Giuliani had in mind would be dismissed on procedural grounds. And a state audit was barreling toward a conclusion that the Dominion machines had operated without interference or foul play.

Mr. Giuliani called Mr. Clark a liar....Mr. Clark called Mr. Giuliani something much worse. And with that, the election-law experts were sidelined in favor of the former New York City mayor, the man who once again was telling the president what he wanted to hear.

Thursday the 12th was the day Mr. Trump’s flimsy, long-shot legal effort to reverse his loss turned into something else entirely — an extralegal campaign to subvert the election, rooted in a lie so convincing to some of his most devoted followers that it made the deadly Jan. 6 assault on the Capitol almost inevitable.

“codebreaker-manes: I just got hit with total Malex excitement, lol. I...”

Your excitement is contagious. *feeling pumped*

Yay, I’m glad to hear that! ♥ I know it’s not always easy to remain excited, but currently I’m eager to stay positive. This hiatus has been the worst and most agonizing hiatus of any show I’ve ever experienced, and with how much sh!t and drama this fandom goes through on a weekly basis, it’s even more difficult...

What keeps me going are these two:

They love each other SO much! 🥺😭 I know we won’t see them getting back together right away, but I hope for what @codebreaker-manes​ wrote: Alex and Michael building a friendship (the most important foundation for a functioning relationship imo) in S2. I’m also looking forward to this:

Like, A LOT! Give me aaaaaaaaall the UST! 😏 (And then let them kiss and kiss and KISS oh-so-desperately when they finally get their sh!t together) 😍
