I’m much too young to remember, but did Nixon have any sort of widespread support post-presidency comparable to Trump’s MAGA cult? Hadn’t his own party effectively deserted him, as he knew the Senate would convict him, and instead just chose to resign rather than be removed from office?
Nixon was actually quite popular. Most in the country were skeptical about the allegations and there was a lot of talk akin to the modern phrase "political witch-hunt". Then the country heard the POTUS on tape and the tide turned. GOP Senators went to the White House and told him he had two choices, resign or be convicted in the Senate and removed from office.

At that point, no, he did not have the kind of popular support Trump has now. Yet there was a rather influential group of people who remained loyal to Nixon and were pissed at "the media" for causing Nixon's downfall (see a theme?). Among those was some guy named Roger Ailes. This fury also directly led to the ending of the Fairness Doctrine as well as the consolidation of media empires.
 
Yeah but the potential for mass riots etc if he keeps banging this drum.

What's his motivation for not conceding? Is it just his ego (every chance...), delusion? or is he looking for leverage/something in return for conceding?
This encapsulates him perfectly.

Ego and money
He is asking for funds to cover costs of litigation. Most of it is flowing to pay off campaign debts and fund a new PAC he started.

That's how I understand it. The narcissist's biggest fear is being humiliated publicly, as well as being exposed as a fraud, which by making Trump a one term president, is essentially saying he got voted out because he isn't presidential material or competent enough to hold the office. He's a faker/con artist... And oh boy, oh boy! The ego cannot handle that kind of rejection! It goes into complete defense mode... Trying every possible stunt to cling onto power, so that he never has to face the reality of what he truly is.

But here's where the irony kicks in... By definition, narcissists are completely and utterly devoid of any self-awareness, due to them having the emotional materity of a six year old child throwing a temper tantrum in a toy store because his 'mammy' won't buy him the latest G.I. Joe doll... lol
By acting like a bitter, vindictive sore loser, he is making a complete embarrassment of himself... And this is how the history books will remember him... Nothing but a sad and pathetic footnote. The only losing presidential candidate to not concede humbly, and with grace and dignity.

That will be his legacy.

So let Bozo the orange clown have his last moments of being the center of attention, whilst throwing all his toys out of his pram like a petulant little toddler, because come the 20th of January, we won't have entertain him or his circus freak show of complete and utter nonsense like we had to for the last four freakin' years!

Don't let the Oval Office door hit your orange, entitled, immature fat ass on the way out Donnie boy! :rant:
 
If this wasn't inciting violence and real disbelief in the election results by a good chunk of the population, I might agree.
That is true. The next two months are going to be squeaky bum time.

But how do you shut him up? At some point the majority of the Republican Party will admit defeat and that it was a fair election with no voter fraud.

Will he still be shouting 'voter fraud!' all by himself?

Yep.

No idea is there is a mechanism to remove what is clearly a deranged clown from office, even at this late stage of his term, but if there is a swift one, Reps should use it.
