Just got a text from a Trumpster friend of mine (yes it is possible to be friends with these people) who said "I see Biden just claimed victory before the vote is done, why is that different from Trump claiming victory early".
I responded "Biden said he 'had no doubt' he would win. Trump said he has already won. The difference is confidence and psychosis"
Waiting on response

claiming victory and voicing confidence in a (future) victorious outcome. My sister is a tRump supporter who would not understand that difference either.

I told her that only she has the key to the mind of a Democrat.
