There was a Trump parade in my town today, after he lost. Most of the drivers had their windows rolled down. I yelled "YOU LOST!!!" to each and every dumbass redneck passing me by. Normally I wouldn't be such a jackass in public. Maybe on the internet, but not in public. But these people rolling around with their stupid Nazi-level flags, AFTER their president lost is just ridiculous. Give it up. It's over.

Eh just like how in 2016 Democrats protested the election to get their voices heard i think its fair if Republicans do the same.

Democrats had a point though. The Electoral College is as inane and undemocratic as banning POC or Women from voting. Hillary won the election by 3 million votes, yet because of our antiquated system Donald was sent to the white house.

The person that gets the most votes wins an election. Simple as that. Anything else is thinly veiled tyranny.

Word. 

Regardless, seems my idea took off: 

https://www.publico.es/tremending/2020/11/07/marichis-contra-trump-el-troleo-republicano-de-forocoches/

Yes it was my idea. The whole forum banded together to make it happen.

The issue here is that bipartisanship means this rapidly devolves into a de facto one party state because no one will vote for the only viable alternative. Then what?

Trump. You're FIRED. Loving it.

What a President should sound like. And obviously I know that McCain didn't win, but he was more Presidential on his worst day than the sociopath in chief. He loved his country and cared more about bringing it together after an election than he did about protecting his ego.

Not only did Trump lose, but he lost in such a humiliating way, declaring victory early like that. How embarrassing.

He is still declaring himself the winner.



If you demand respect or gratitude for your volunteer work, you're doing volunteering wrong.

1.Obama tried to resurrect bipartisanship, and McConnell kill it for good.

2. That assumes that a viable Republican alternative exists. They don't.

3. Even if they did exist they would never get the Republican nomination in the Trump era.

To be fair, he did call dibs on Michigan and Pennsylvania. Where I come from, dibs matter.

Assuming the Democratic Party remains as dominant as it does, who opposes them and has a shot at winning?
