There's no way Trump goes away if he loses. He will post up in Mar-a-Lago (the winter White House) and style himself as the true US government in exile, commenting on and injecting himself into every single thing that happens, until he dies. Maybe he'll revive those "TrumpTV" plans. Maybe he'll keep doing rallies and dangle around the idea of running again in 2024 for his base - the networks will certainly cover them. Look at how much the fat gently caress tweets now, with the most serious job on the planet, and imagine how ever-present he'll be when he's unemployed.
The difference being when he's no longer president he can't follow up his batshit tweets with Executive Orders.

Personally I think he'll buy OANN.

Hundreds protest in Sacramento against stay-at-home order
sfgate.com/May 23, 2020
"Hundreds of protesters rallied outside the state Capitol on Saturday to protest against California's stay-at-home orders even as residents entered the Memorial Day weekend with newly expanded options for beachgoing, barbecuing and shopping.

The rally to demand that Gov. Gavin Newsom lift his restrictions on business, religious gatherings and other activities took on the atmosphere of a political rally and festival on a closed-off street."
Weird. I grabbed a pizza from a joint on the other side of the Capitol, maybe six blocks away. Had no idea this was going on. Hell I though there was much less foot traffic than usual for a nice Saturday. Think I saw a black pickup with related crap scrawled on it though.

Twitter does the most tepid thing possible besides doing literally nothing and now you think they are going to go against big daddy?

Thing is, it doesn't matter. This response, tepid as it is, has crossed the Rubicon and Twitter can never go back. If there's one thing Trump's dementia-riddled mind never forgets it's vendetta, and Twitter will now forever be in his crosshairs. Expect F&F to 'call out' Twitter for 'restricting free speech,' followed by Trump instructing Barr (via tweet ofc) to open up an investigation of Twitter's 'violation of free speech' soon.

That may not lead to anything unless Barr tries real hard to manufacture something, but the poo poo show will be entertaining nonetheless.

This tiny, tiny push from Twitter is going to have an utterly hilariously disproportionate response. I can't wait.

I expect it will be the usual whole lot of nothing. Trump talks a lot of poo poo, poops out an EO and moves on to the next outrage while the media whips itself into yet another 12 hour frenzy.

Barr knows this. This loving toady is just using the phrase cause Trump wants an easy bad guy his base is already primed to believe is behind everything thanks to Fox, and now even if legally it still doesn't matter, they know that by continually applying the phrase they push their narrative. Doesn't even matter that antifa isn't and has never been that kind of organization.
There is a really dark part of my mind right now that thinks outlawing something as nebulous as 'antifa' is pretext to imprison Lee Carter, AOC, and the rest of the progressives before moving on to the Democratic Party in general.
