David Brooks on Trump loss and unwillingness to concede:
(quote)
Dictators around the world are happy to see an American president denying election results. That gives them encouragement and gives them a set of norms they can hew to.
I expect him to go. You can feel the air coming out of the balloon, the stages of grief. What is it, denial, then rage, and then acceptance, though with Trump there's more rage and more denial. But you feel the Republicans walking away, rightly or wrongly, just not wanting to get in front of the train and push him out. That's the wrong metaphor, but you feel him losing momentum, and I do think he will eventually whimper out, probably without ever admitting defeat, and probably without attending Joe Biden's inauguration. But that is the way the man is.
