Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel worries that former President Donald Trump may not accept the results of the upcoming general election if he loses — in part because of whom he might lose to.

“My belief is this: If Donald Trump had such a difficult time conceding that he lost to another older White man, he is definitely not going to be OK in the event that he loses a presidential election to a younger Black woman,” Nessel told reporters Monday, referencing Vice President Kamala Harris’ expected place at the top of the Democratic ticket. “And I am very concerned about what plans he and his allies might have to be disruptive to the 2024 election.”

      The problem is “Project 2025”… has already been announced to be renamed “Project 2029” if Trump doesn’t win.

      As long as that’s the plan, any Republican win is going to severely erode any remaining US democracy.
