Oh, he'll accept the result...if he wins.
He didn't accept the 2016 results, so I wouldn't count on it.
What Trump understands intuitively and most of the country still does not, is that fascism usually is not a fixed state but a project of gradually, constantly deteriorating rights.
Trump will never be satisfied. When things reach a new low, it will only enable Trump to aim even lower. That's why he won't accept even the results when he wins. To his mind, he always deserves more power and less accountability, and he will keep shifting reality towards those ends. That's why we never had a moment of peace during the first Trump presidency. Our standards kept falling, and somehow we still couldn't keep up.
In another Trump presidency, it will be exactly like the first, in that everything will constantly be getting worse. Because he is a narcissistic sociopath, and it will never be enough. He's the perfect vessel to dismantle democracy. That's the power of Trump, what makes the threat so unique and terrible.
