    Ah yes, Dems adhere to longstanding norms and lose while Republicans lie, cheat, exploit, steal, and win. What a fun game.

      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…?

        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.

        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.

          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 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.
