When you have a huge block of the American people ready to believe ANYTHING Donald Trump says as gospel, who wants to stand against that mob? Their "truth" is that Trump won—but the evil press, Democrats, Soros et al, and now certain GOPers have crafted an election steal on such massive scale that it's frightening. For four years they've cried "Fake news!" so of COURSE the election results were fake. If we weren't the enemy before, we surely are now. I am frightened. They WILL try to start a war.
I actually heard Congressman Tim Ryan say to Julie Mason this morning, that he do isn’t know what they (Congress) should do about that phone call, maybe just move forward, that it might not be worth all the problems ! And I’m supposed to contribute and work for the DNC and DCCC. WTF is wrong with people like him ? That’s the worst thing the Democrats could do !
The story was so much more than the problem with facts about counted and certified votes. Trump was, in the parlance of the Warner Bros. cartoons, a picture of a screw accompanied by one of a baseball. He sounded non compos mensis. He ought to be committed, not pandered to. Forget the elements of what he was seeking but how he went about it. My president, for not much longer, is cuckoo bananas.
They laughed at Bill Maher when over 2 years ago said Trump will not leave. Well he will have to leave on Jan 20 but he's surely not going down without a fight. But let's move the focus from Trump to the Republican Party or what's left of it. These cowards, so frightened of losing the Trump voter, are blatantly shitting on the Constitution that they took an oath to defend. So what are they saying if they want to appeal to Trump voters? Where do they stand on healthcare, immigration, economic inequality? They don't have a stand. They are Trump! While they may run away from him behind closed doors, they are him in public. They need to be called out for what they are. Seditionists, plain and simple.
“If we “move on”, the GOP will refuse to concede future elections, then judge-shop until they steal one," Jonathan Alter recently warned, as Trump pursued his maniac campaign.” 👈👈👈 THIS.
There have got to be consequences for everything Trump and his GOP enablers have put us through, and clear contempt that it won’t be tolerated again. Democrats “move on” and take the high road to our detriment and it has to stop. Otherwise, we can kiss 2022 and our ability to make any significant progress goodbye. Not to mention, aren’t we all just tired of these disruptive stupid games that serve no one?
If armed street mobs descend on Washington DC Wednesday, as encouraged by their hero, let's see whether the black fence goes up around the White House.
First, yesterday, Chuck Todd decided to be a journalist. I hope it lasts. But speaking of performance art ...?
Second, here's the key point: None of this should be a surprise to anyone who has studied the history of the republican party (and it isn't a surprise to those who have, and I've done a bit in my own right). This was where we clearly were headed from Goldwater on, and I can make a case for it in the McCarthy era, and going back farther, to when Herbert Hoover did everything he could to sabotage the incoming FDR administration and then some right-wingers discussed a coup.
I am a Democrat and a Texan. I campaigned for and contributed to Beto O’Rourke for months. Everyone I spoke to, regardless of party was fired up about change and most importantly the kicking of Ted Cruz to the curb. But on par, Democrats got lazy and Beto lost. For the past year, every time I see on a Texan’s social media page about how much they hate Ted, I remind each and everyone of them that he sits in the Senate because we didn’t show up in 2018. 2022 is already next year. I hope Democrats can make the changes that must be made.
That’s what’s so worrying, Eric.
Why should Republicans ever accept a legitimate loss again?
They need to be called the authoritarians they are and have been for years.
