My point is, that if you liked the old rules so much, you should not have thrown them out the window....
I am not respecting the peaceful transfer of power either.
Who changed the old rules?
These same rules have been around for generations!
Big money in politics, corporate corruption, these were there since the Gilded Age! The Military Industrial Complex has been there from WWII at least! We had more and more successful elite “manufacturing of consent” in the past than we do today!
Few Americans objected to global U.S. corporarations — until relatively recently.
Your people in particular wrap yourself in the flag, and for generations supported “democratic” U.S. imperialism and even U.S.-supported coups everywhere. Many on your side
still celebrate the “Pinochets of the world” and their “helicopter” treatment of opponents.
Domestically, for well over a hundred years Jim Crow was layered on top of oligarchic and demagogic populist politics in the pre-Civil Rights Movement South.
Now you complain “the rules have been thrown out the window.” Why? Because African-Americans and liberals and centrist Democrats finally out-organized you in places like Georgia. “Fraud!” you scream and lie.
The old rules were never very pretty. But fortunately “democracy” doesn’t guarantee that
your side’s lunatic, incompetent amoral conman will always beat
their side’s corporate Establishment “liberal.”
So suck it up. Or don’t. Keep talking about “civil war” and how you are “not respecting the peaceful transfer of power.” How you “do not consider BIden's election to be legitimate.” Try to
overthrow him violently if you want!
You are damn lucky this remains a “bourgeois democratic” Republican system where you are free to vote — for your local, state and Federal representatives. Our rural voters already get special representative privileges! Maybe next time don’t pick a megalomaniacal narcissist as your candidate?
If you
do choose to “overthrow the system” or our elected President by acting like Trump’s domestic terrorists, thugs and QAnons did on Jan. 6th — you belong in prison, with common criminals.
They also — or didn’t you know? — object to “the system.”
