Trump will never hold national office in this country. Ever. I voted for him twice and, I assure you, I would not vote for him a third time, and I know a lot of former Trump supporters who feel the same.
Unfortunately, there are more Trump supporters who are not as reasonable as you. According to several polls taken since the Capitol Riot, about a third of folks in this country still approve of the Pres. (see 538). Rasmussen says half.
And that's something that should scare the shit out of the left.
Some 74 million people voted for Trump. That can't be ignored, and it's only to the peril of the democrats if they choose to...
What do you mean, only to their peril? What should Dems be afraid of?
The 74 million people who didn't vote for Biden...
81 million people voted to get rid of Trump
Where does that leave you?
The 74 million who didn't vote for Biden have most of the guns and over 8 trillion rounds of ammunition. It would be wise, if not to fear them, to at least have a healthy respect for what they could do.
The 81 million who
did vote for Biden actually believe that going to a "safe place" will protect them...
This one won't.
That's because, in truth, nothing will protect you...
And your immunity card from danger? LOl! Don't be so cocky boss. Most of those 81 million already have guns.
But only 20% of them own guns legally.
And? They still shoot don't they? And since when did Republicans care about being legal? Do you remember all the Right-wing terrorists who illegally entered the capitol who should have been shot?
Let me ask you this.....
What do you think had a bigger impact.....
Those that looted and burnt down livelihoods or those that stormed the capitol?
Now, before you answer....I get it...the capitol is an image of our country. It is an Icon. But....
a woman who lost her husband due to violence over the summer and who also lost her livelihood as they looted and then burnt down her only source of income......
What had a bigger impact on her life? The Capitol building being stormed by a bunch of thugs or the fact that she lost her husband, her businesss and her livelihood in one fell swoop.
Before you try to punch holes in my point.....lets look at an analogy.....
When Kennedy was shot we all mourned. It was a tragedy. But what if a young girl was shot as well due to a misfire and died. Innocent by stander.
The parents....what had a bigger impact on their life? The loss of a great President or the loss of their daughter?
You think about that when you say "but the Capitol. They stormed the Capitol How dare they;"
The bigger impact is the President of the United States agitating a mob, filling them with lies and sending them to the Congress to stop the proceedings of affirming a President
Ahhhhh....so you watched CNN.
They neglected to show you his entire speech.
He never sent them to congress to stop any proceedings.
]He sent them to the Capitol to speak their mind.
Like many politicians have done n the past.
Go to the capitol and protest.
Thats all he said.
But you opted to believe there was "code" in his words.
Code. Sure. He sent out "the code" to millions of people.
Wow...the media has your number for sure.
Trump has been perpetuating a dangerous conspiracy theory that led to the riot. However government have always peddled conspiracy theories to their bases in order to get an edge on their opponents from time to time. Both parties sell bullshit, and no party is more virtuous than the other when it comes to tactics. Trump’s conspiracy theory was dangerous because it discredited our democracy at its core. We’ve also seen democrats attack other institutions like the military and police, but at end of the day the best checks and balances to mitigating one parties bullshit is opposition by the other party. Now that’s not to say everything these parties are always full of shit, but with the amount of shit both parties are full of its hard to discern fact from fiction.
But, of course, when Gore did it in 2000 and Boxer did it in 2004....THAT was warranted.
We know who you are.
There was a 500 vote difference in 2000. There's a 7 million vote difference this time. And Gore stopped and conceded. He didn't call a mob to Washington and incite them to attack the Capital. He went through the courts and when he lost the court challenges, he conceded.
Every time you fools try to compare the odious, disgusting and illegal things Trump has done to things Democrats have done and there really is no comparison. Democrats have never crashed the economy, or killed 375,000 Americans in a pandemic. No Democratic has used foreign intelligence and propaganda to smear their opponents. Or asked foreign governments for help.
No Democrats incited an insurrection to kill his Vice-President, and other members of the government.
Trump called for an attack on the Capitol?
Grow up, Child.
You can fool all of the people some of the time, and some of the people all of the time - you among them apparently, but hardly anybody is being fool by Donald Trump any more.
Donald Trump told people "Don't believe what you saw with your own eyes and heard with your own ears. Believe me!!!", but only idiots are doing that today.
^ '
Donald Trump told people "Don't believe what you saw with your own eyes and heard with your own ears. Believe me!!!" '
yep - he sure did. he said that when he was speaking to a group of vets.
Here is reality. Sure, you can call me a liar. On this board? Whatever I say is a lie to those that disagree with it.
But here is what actually happened in my small nucleus of a family.
My Nephew went to Muhlenberg in Pa. Good student and immediately got a job in NYC.
He moved to NY, and maintained his NY license seeing as he was a NY resident for his entire life except for his 4 years in college.
However, in his junior year he signed a lease in Pa....giving him legal residency in PA. Yet he never changed his ID for residency. Not against the law. Most students follow the same.
However, when he moved back to NY he informed the USPS to forward his mail to his new NY address. No issue there.
In October he received an absentee ballot from Pa. It was forwarded by the USPS. OK. Shit happens. He should toss it in the trash.
Instead...and as he explained it during Thanksgiving Dinner.....My vote in NY was moot. The electorate in NY will vote democrat....so I used the PA ballot because that is a swing state and my vote has more of an impact.
I told him that was unlawful. He responded with ...paraphrased.....'then PA should have never sent me the ballot'
If you think unsolicited absentee ballots did not open the door for illegal voting you are either naïve or brainwashed.
