For four years after Trump won,, the Democrats screamed #Resistance.
Members of congress said Trump staff and Republicanpoliticians should be accosted when out in public. They were kicked out of restaurants and shouted at in the streets.
The left said “not my president” and decried Trump was illegitimate because of Russian collusion.
But now that Biden is President Elect, Democrats are saying Republicans who supported Trump must be punished and brought to heel and everyone must accept the outcome of the election, no matter how statistically unbelievable the results were.
The FBI lied about the Steel Dossier to investigate Trump and make him look like a traitor. Now we know the FBI quietly tipped off a sitting Congressman that was caught in a Chinese honeypot, and the same speaker who lead the impeachment of Trump over false Russian collusion evidence put that same Congressman on the intelligence committee.
The Left screamed “emoluments” about Trump but called the Hunter Biden story Russian disinformation and killed it like it was Jeffrey Epstein about to cut a deal.
We that 60% of small businesses shut down by government order are closed permanently and when billionaires who have made money off the lockdowns and teleworking say we need to stay locked down until 2022, the Democrats say anyone who disagrees is “selfish” and “killing grandma.”
Prosecutors are letting rapists and murderers out of jail because of COVID and throwing gym and bar owners in jail because of COVID.
We were told “15 days to slow the spread.” That became “lockdown until a vaccine is available.” The latest news is “just because you have the vaccine doesn’t mean you can return to normal.”
This is the stuff dystopia novels are made of.
And we’re just supposed to accept this?
I fear that our next election will turn into a referendum on “Rule 30-06”.
Im right there with ya…. I been sayin this too for 4 years. And now the dems say “unify”??? Bleep bleepin bleep you! It aint over yet. Lots of keyboard tuff talk but americans meekly comply with “directives” that change with the wind. And now we have obvious election fraud and we supposed to meekly accept it??? When is America gonna stand up and say no????????
Curby, I agree – I’m most pissed off at establishment republicans. Even Mitch is encouraging everyone to just accept the results. Their whole attitude is “We’ll get ’em next time!” There won’t be a next time…we need men with balls to stand up when they count elector votes in Congress and object. Make the Senate and house vote on this, and make this right!
The problem is that there isn’t a Constitutionally valid remedy at this stage. In particular, the notion of fixing it Jan 6th is bogus: the Constitution assigns Congress the job of tallying the Electoral College votes, it does NOT authorize them to judge those votes. Their task is “ministerial” (a fancy way of saying “clerical”). The people who claim it can be fixed at that stage don’t know the Constitution, or don’t care about it.

Inevitable outcome of the assimilation plan. Slowly take over education, news media, etc… Control what children learn, and control what adults hear.
Then get politicians elected that will appoint compatible judges.
They are currently working on the military.
This is a seven decade coup. It starts in earnest in the 60s, and it will likely reach its culmination in a decade or two.
The only real way to stop it is to expose it. Which President Trump is finding near impossible to do with the media and judges aligned against him. When you have no tools to reach out to the public, you cannot expose the treachery.
NBC apparently put on some quack who claimed that, just because you got the vaccine doesn’t mean you can’t catch the CCP virus and spread it.
BULLSHIT. And that clown supposedly works in a real hospital, as if his MD were legitimate? Scary.
Sooooo….if the vaccine does NOT protect you from acquiring the CCP flu, then someone explain to me, slowly, and using small words, WHY the Fenomenon I would take it?

@pkoning: First, it was “We need to close down to ‘flatten the curve’/’slow the spread’.” Then, it was “We can’t open back up until there’s a vaccine available.” Now, it’s “We can’t open back up even though there’s a vaccine available.”
The moving goalposts tells me that they don’t want to ever fully open back up. They never did, but they couldn’t come right out and say that; they had to work up to it. Keep small businesses closed, keep people on public welfare and stimulus checks. The more dependent they are, the easier it will be to transition to full socialism.
@Reltney McFee: When I heard it was an mRNA vaccine, and not a traditional “dead/weakened virus” vaccine, I had my doubts. Now that I’ve looked into exactly how mRNA vaccines are supposed to work, I feel like I maybe wasn’t doubtful enough.
Everything being said about it sounds like marketing; they’re selling the ideal outcome. 95% efficacy! Very few side-effects! We’ll open back up this time, promise! All that’s missing is Billy Mays saying, “But wait, there’s more!”
Looking at the actual tests and studies, they were controlled to be the ideal situation. Young-to-middle-aged subjects (no very-young or very-old people), generally healthy, non-smokers/non-vapers/non-diabetic, no pre-existing auto-immune issues (or pre-existing anything, really), balanced diets, BMI in a healthy range …. I recall one report that said out of 40,000 volunteers for the study, they screened out all but ~900.
And even those 900 are now saying the side-effects are no joke; they can get pretty serious, up to and including full COVID-like symptoms. That’s something we’re not hearing about in the marketing. And that’s just the short-term side-effects for the first dose of a multi-dose vaccine. We have no idea what the long-term effects will be.
And on top of all that, it may not even fully protect you? You could still contract COVID even after getting the shots!?
Needless to say, if I was disinclined to take the vaccine before, now I’m adamantly against it. I’ve gone from “No, thanks,” to “Oh, HELL, no!”
Archer, where did you get that nonsense? 900 people in the stage 3 trials? Not possible.
The trial was something like 30,000 people. Not applicants — participants. Out of those, somewhere on the order of 100 got sick during the study period, and out of those patients, about 95% were from the half that got the placebo. THAT’S what the study is and what its outcome means.
It’s all well and good to raise questions, but there should be at least be some connection to reality. Making decisions based on fairytales that are not even remotely plausible is not a way to get good outcomes.
I got up this morning willing to offer an olive branch to the other side. I was going to admit that Joe Biden, by hook or by crook, fairly or unfairly, has been elected President and will be sworn in on January 20; that I didn’t vote for him, but because I still believe in America and the Constitution, he is The President (none of this “not my President” B.S. we’ve heard the last 4 years — there’s not “your President” and “my President”, only “The President”); and that I’m hoping all the rifts formed over the past four years can be mended.
And I fully expect that olive branch to be figuratively snatched from my outstretched hand and used to rap my knuckles, before it’s run through a wood chipper, doused in gasoline, burned to ash, and that ash scooped up and thrown back in my face.
At which point I’ll let loose with all the pent up words that I’ve been holding back in the interest of keeping peace. I’ve never “unfriended” anyone over political disagreements, and I don’t intend to start now — I value people and relationships over political opinions — but I accept they’ll probably “unfriend” me over this, and it’s probably better I don’t have such toxic people in my circles.
They were sore losers four years ago, and now they’re going to be sore winners. There’s no healing the rifts with people who are just going to be sore no matter what.
On a positive note, at least the rabidly vitriolic Left self-identifies now.
