Trump is desperate, and has been forced to go full-on authoritarian to try and stop the vote-counting.

This, in the face of an election where Trump rejected literally every effort to secure our voting systems (and yeah, let's look at that).

This is an end-game push by an organized fascist group, and it has still failed.

Forget the drama and the nonsense.

Trump is out.

And if he tries to cheat further, he will need every inch of that White House barricade.
