First as Tragedy, then as Farce

    It’s his job to get the fuck out of the office because that’s what the people voted for.

    I made fun of right-wing dipshits for 4 years for saying the same shit you are right now in the opposite direction.

    It’s so uncanny it’s almost like it’s on purpose to make libs or progressives look as dumb as republicans.

      It’s because being “gentlemanly” by sitting back and letting this happen is the absolute pinnacle of falling victim to the paradox of intolerance. Trump has zero tolerance for democracy. Letting this traitor back into office to dismantle any hope of free and fair elections in the future is fucking stupid, and the more decorum shown to this fascist moron, the more his future actions are legitimized to the public.

      It’s true that refusing to hand over the office in any way is undemocratic in its own right. I can’t pretend to know what the exact right answer is: the dumbass, impressionable electorate put us here by voting how it did. But smiling and shaking hands while this fuck prepares to dismantle our freedoms is so, so dumb.

        IT’S NOT UP TO HIM. HE HAS NO CHOICE.

        Whether he fakes a smile and shakes the orange fuckers hand makes no difference. He must leave. It’s what our stupid ass electorate dictated. He must now obey. That’s how this works.

            Makes no material difference. We’re in for it either way.

              It absolutely does. Go out with a bang, not a whimper! Show the people that you wanted to fight for them! Show them what you really think of this stupid, hateful rich asshole! Have a spine! Voters’ memory is short, sure, but it wouldn’t be nothing! And there are vulnerable people in the interim who need to know they’re not alone!

              But of course this is the team that thought leaning even more conservative would win them an election. Of course they’ll happily wave this in.

      So, you’d be alright with slavery coming back if enough people voted for it?

      The man incited an insurrection and said he’d be dictator on day one.

        The man also increased his voter base across every demographic except white people this time around.

        If the US wants to be fucking stupid, there’s nothing Biden can do to stop us.

          If that were true he’d have more votes. He has the same really, less of you account for population growth. In reality, a lot of people just didn’t vote.

          Biden will step down of course, but it is absolute nonsense that our justice system ever let it get this far with him.
