As I sat at home, Wednesday and Thursday, compulsively checking and refreshing the New York Times, LA Times, and Fox News websites, my email continued to grow as if the election hadn’t taken place. Strangely, today, Friday, my email requests for political contributions seem to have almost come to a halt.

Somehow, I have ended up on Trump’s campaign donor list and I am, if not thrilled, at least happy for it. It is nice to see how the different Campaigns campaign. I’m going to presume that Trump has a pretty good handle on his supporters so, while it seems to me that he is talking down to them, I assume that neither he nor his supporters feel that way. A couple of weeks ago, I heard Anthony Scaramucci on the Bill Mahr Show and he opined that Trump would not fight the results saying that Trump does not like conflict and I was convinced he was right, now I’m not so sure. The first two emails, below, are from the President himself and the third is from his son, so you can decide.

Stephen,
I need you.
The Left will try to STEAL this Election! I’m calling on YOU to step up & FIGHT BACK. Your support is critical right now. We must protect the integrity of this Election.
Can I count on you?
Please contribute ANY AMOUNT IMMEDIATELY to the Official Election Defense Fund and to increase your impact by 1000%. >> CONTRIBUTE $250 = $2750

Stephen,
Did you see my press conference from the White House last night?
If you count the LEGAL votes, I easily win the Election. If you count the ILLEGAL and LATE votes, the Radical Left can steal this Election from us.
I’ve won many critical states, despite historic interference from Big Media, Big Money, and Big Tech. Democrat-run cities, like Detroit and Philadelphia, two of the most politically corrupt places in America, cannot be responsible for deciding the outcome of this race.
They’re trying to STEAL this Election.
Remember, they’re not only trying to STEAL the Election from me – they’re also trying to steal it from YOU.
I promise you my team is fighting around the clock to DEFEND the integrity of this Election, but we cannot do it alone. We need EVERY Patriot, like YOU, to step up and make sure we have the resources to keep going.
We can’t let America be disgraced by this. I need YOU to FIGHT BACK!

For some reason, unbeknown to me, I’m not getting any frantic Biden requests for money. I suspect that they are out there and I’m just not getting them but it is very possible that the Biden Campaign actually planned for this to happen. But, I want to be balanced, so here is a money request from AOC.

Steve, we did it!!! Our opponents raised over $13 million from Trump donors, corporations and billionaires, but we still re-elected Alexandria to Congress with a groundswell of support. And that’s not all we did. Thanks to your help, we cemented our movement’s values and vision into a gigantic, growing force in the fight for working-class families across the nation. Specifically, because of your support, we:
*Delivered 80,000 meals
*Donated more than 100,000 masks
*Organized over 3,600 volunteers
*Fundraised $1.1 million to provide COVID-19 relief to excluded workers and families in-need
*Empowered our communities through workshops on childcare collectives, eviction defense, workplace safety and more
*Launched a virtual homework helper program to support students and families in our district
*Organized a $1 million census outreach program, which resulted in over $52.6 million returned to our district
*Recruited over 1,000 volunteers to help get out the vote in key swing states
We couldn’t have done that without you!
Progress doesn’t happen without your work. We appreciate you more than words can capture.
But listen. We can’t skip a beat. The work we have ahead of us is deep and transcends elections. It always has been. We are called to do it.
Donald Trump’s premature claims of victory are illegitimate, dangerous, and authoritarian. We need to organize like crazy to count the votes and respect the results.
And as long as working-class families are under siege from corrupt politicians and greedy corporations, we have an obligation to do everything we can to level the field.
This struggle will continue to be a challenging one. But right now, we are showing that we have the grit and determination to overcome the odds. A better world is not only possible – she is in our hands.
So yes, we should take a moment to celebrate what we have worked so hard to achieve – and then get right back to work.
If you are able, we hope you will contribute $27 to help celebrate – and continue our ever-evolving work to fight for the working-class. This victory truly belongs to you, the movement.

I did send her $27 in case you are wondering.
