Will Trump Peddle More False Election Fraud Claims if he loses again?
More importantly, will his followers believe him, again? Surely he will accept defeat like a normal and respectable person.

Your username is ironic for a Democrat
Will this be you if he wins again?
He already has, in anticipation.
All of this is designed to get dumb people to believe in the eventual conspiracy theories that emerge and to get normal people so fed up with the bullshit that they disengage entirely and default to "both sides are bad" detachment. It is a "flood the zone with shit" strategy, championed by Steve Bannon originally. Even the idea, still spread by JD Vance and top Republicans, let alone Trump himself, that Trump actually won in 2020 is both idiotic and embarrassingly subservient to one man's fragile ego.
None of this is to say that he can't win this Tuesday. Polls are quite close. People are pretty evenly divided. But if he doesn't win, every single person here can predict the nonsense he and his sycophants will peddle.
As if on command, Trump is already peddling false claims about the police rushing to stop election fraud in Philadelphia. Debunked of course by both the Republican commissioner, the DA, and the police.
On the other hand, there have been numerous confirmed bomb threats called in to heavily black polling stations in Georgia. Utterly disgusting behavior.
You have the likes of Dick Cheney saying he doesn't respect the democratic process. This really could be very bad if it's close. I'm rooting that it's an unquestionable blowout one way or another.
And my vote is yes, his followers would believe it. It's entirely possible today to just live in an echo chamber. I've seen it from both sides, but more so from the right. I blame the decline of local journalism and just watching the news on ABC/NBC/CBS. If you only read Mother Jones or watch Newsmax/OAN you'll get a very skewed picture of things.
Bud, Dick Cheney and his daughter both endorsed and the latter has literally taken to the campaign trail for Kamala... The election being close is a given and it's a forgone conclusion that neither side will believe the other won fair & square regardless of who wins - because of Trump's rhetoric for Democrats and because of the left's disregard for election procedure & security (namely changing ballot measures in violation of state legislatures and voter ID/verification) for Republicans + obscenely biased coverage/outright lies from corporate journalists in both cohorts. .
Part of that is why I'm hoping it's not close. Also it can be argued that the voting system being a disjointed mess is a feature, not a bug. It makes it nearly impossible if you have to figure out a way to break each state's (or sometimes county's) system to mess around on a large scale.
None of this disagrees with your statements though.
I'm hoping, whatever the outcome, it's a clear & decisive victory
Regardless, what will happen, will happen
Probably. Still voted for him.
The gaslighting on this topic by Dems is kind of amazing. Trump's behavior and a few hundred of his most ardent supporters in 2020/21 was terrible. Also, in 2016 the Dems rioted off and on for a month after the 2016 election. The Dems rioted during the 2017 inauguration. The Dems consistently claimed that Trump was an illegitimate President who was materially aided in victory by Russia. And in the summer of 2020, the BLM riots, vocally supported by the Dems, caused $5 billion in damage and cost the lives of 25+ people.
That this information has been memory-holed is truly amazing. The slogan "Make Orwell Fiction Again" is so applicable when it comes to the topic of political violence and accepting election results. BOTH sides engage in political violence and question election results.
