Would’ve been pretty funny to have Democrat version of January 6th
You just saw it. A peaceful transition
No I mean if they threw a fit and caused a ruckus like Republicans. Some have been calling for that and knowing the Democrat reaction back then, it would’ve been funny.
People showed up on Jan 6 because Trump was telling people. That’s the instigation part.
Biden nor Harris was tweeting/reaching out to Democrats or any other caucus to arrive at the capital and fight. So unless there was some other DNC leader that was asking them to… I never saw it
Well yeah the whole discussion is about how funny it would’ve been if it did happen??

Just a reminder, since these people view everything through the lens of power they view the peaceful transfer of power as us being weak and them being strong and that we’re giving in because “we know they can kick our ass” or some dumb shit. Basically, they view things like this as though we’re cowering in the corner begging them to stop when it’s really the basics of a functioning society.
Problem is they seem to be correct
Oh c’mon Biden, it’s not too late to have him official business’d!
Honestly, he should push that law to its limit before trump abuses it daily.
Its not going to make him understand anything. If at all, it will just confirm his biases
I wonder if Blue states will be sort of protected like last time. Relatively protected.
I’m quickly becoming a Federalist in the sense that I just want to be left alone in my state that still has environmental protections and fuck Alabama or whoever.
I started out as a centralist in 2016 and now I’m a full on anti-state autonomous rule anarchist lol.
People like trump being elected radicalised me.
HA. Same. Isn’t it funny to be warned by the prior generation about “big government” only to have them purposefully fuck it up to prove the point?
I’m reasonably fine with my governor, comparatively.
I went from Social Democrat -> Marxist -> Anarchist 😭
Thanks Trump (and becoming homeless at one point) for radicalising me.
Ultimately, I think we’d both agree a cabin out in the woods, maybe with solar panels, would be the best form of government, wouldn’t you say? 😀
Same!
Kamala had a chance to do the funniest thing.
Ah yes, Dems adhere to longstanding norms and lose while Republicans lie, cheat, exploit, steal, and win. What a fun game.
What I like is the speech Kamela gave afterwards about fighting for your rights. Do you even see yourself, “democrats”, and what you have become!? I’ll be proven wrong if “democracy”, or what passes for it in the current oligarchy, manages to survive a Trump presidency. I don’t think I will be, I think this is really it.
If there is nothing in place to prevent the lieing, cheating, and stealing then you’re really just putting yourself at a disadvantages by not doing it.
I don’t want my representatives to break the law. Crazy, I know. But what if there was a middle ground between doing nothing for 4 years and committing federal crimes…?
You mean actual work? Are you for real?
By normalizing these behaviours yhu create the moral and political framework in which your opponent thrives. Fascist dont need to win. They can just wait for “Democrats” to dismantle themselves.
Also pretending like the Democratic party isnt big on lying, cheating and stealing too, does not help either. They lost because what they pretended to be and what they really are disparged a lot. The Trumpists are honest about who they are, so they attract the same kind of people, wheras the Dems did everything to alienate people with morals.
And then the Dems turned around and attacked the minorities they pretended to want to protect from Trump, because they didnt suck up to them anymore.
They already thrive, so what’s the point of not doing it?
Trumpists are honest about who they are
I could not disagree more. They are unashamed about their behavior but they are not honest.
lieing
It’s “lying”. It’s spelled the same as lying (down).
What you going to do, report me?
No, sir, you are under arrest. 👮♀️🚔🚨
at this point the media and internet is mostly dominated by republican sympathetic sycophants, its going to be incredibly hard for the democrats to ever win again. they’re going to do everything in their power to move the peices to secure the GOP’s control indefinetely, so that even once Trump is dead, they’ll still win the elections. because guess what, people are fickle, petty, and stupid. and its very easy to use the media, TV Internet or otherwise, to sway opinions.
I am not blind that this is likely just as much Foreign involvement as it is domestic action. Russia is pulling a lot of the puppet strings behind this movement. So much so that I think they even have leverage on not just Trump, but probably Elon Musk too. Elon is small potatoes compared to the wealth of Vladimir Putin, a man who stole from a cartoonishly wealthy in material country for 25 years and put it straight into his pockets.
The problem with foreign voices contributing is they have actual malicious intent. You wouldn’t want a phycopath to follow your little brother around and tell them to kill themselves constantly, even trying to justify why they should.
There are but the Dems refused to use them.
Him and his supporters. It wasn’t just the Capitol, it was the fake electors, the pressuring of his VP not to certify, the “find me more votes” call to governors, etc. There are no consequences for this fuck…
It really solidifies our judicial system as a joke. I hope he’s eaten by fears of extrajudicial remedies, but he honestly seems too stupid to understand the risk.
If you only believe that elections are “fair” when your side wins, then you don’t believe in elections.
I only believe the stains run deeper than I previously thought.
Well the American left wouldn’t turn out to vote, what makes you think they’d try and storm the capital?
Yeah. Peacefully handing the country and all it’s vulnerable population to fascists while the democrats all cash out and flee.
They’re gonna leave us to THEIR fate.
America has decided to roll over and let fascism take root.
Our ancestors would be utterly ashamed.
Is there a way to save a comment so it alerts me back to it 4 years from now?
Make a Google calendar event with a permalink to it ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Yeah, but it requires learning. You may not have that option soon with what Republicans ran on doing to our education system.
Tbf, learning has taken a nose dive while under the Department of ED. It’s… Really, really bad.
Do you believe education should be privatized so that only the privileged receive one?
No, but to pretend the choices are one or the other is ridiculous.
I mean, if you don’t want education to be privatized then you want it to be universal (federalized).
If there’s some in between, what exactly is it?
You should do some research into what American education looked like before the Department of Education.
Spoiler Alert: It wasn’t very good and a lot of people couldn’t read.
States can and did run their own school system, and I’m sorry to spoil your spoil, but lots of kids churning out of the system today can’t read. The numbers are staggering.
I’m more concerned with what our descendents are going to think.
Just be glad most of us won’t be around anymore to find out
They won’t think much of anything, considering what Trump is about to do to the Department of Education.
You mean the slave owners who only wanted white landowners to vote?

The cohort that controls the Democratic Party are perfectly content to pantomime gentlemanly decorum while being led into the ovens of a fascist authoritarian oligarchy. I’m just completely done with their bullshit.
Trump’s gonna literally try to kill them all. They made their own graves with this milquetoast bullshit.
Don’t worry Democrats will run Hillary in 2028, surely she’ll win this time!
Please not her. Find somebody younger!
DNC staff: if you’re reading this - this is a joke. We do not in fact want Hillary Clinton to run. Please. No.
4 fears later: Oh ffs…
Hillary Clinton won by nearly 3 million votes.
Love that democracy in action
Cute you think there will be a free election in 2028 lol
In 2028 Democrats will run Eric Trump (Don Jr for the red team).
Ah yes, we can now see she simply wasn’t old enough yet
