    I've said it 100 times and I'll say it again.... 

    How 74 million so-called Americans voted for this dumpster fire in 2020 is beyond me. 

    Aside from all the horrendous things revolving around this man and there are a lot ... hopefully this shit storm also illustrates how awful your system is.  You had these people who were... perfectly fine breaking the law, subverting democracy... and at the end of the day could be like:  "Oh... by the way, could you put me on that pardon list when you get a chance?"   As if they're making reservations for an upscale restaurant. America: Land of the Entitled. 

    If no accountability comes from this... your country is doomed. Another Trump, likely worse, will come around and pick up where he left off... or ...  perhaps... absolutely fucking remarkably so... it will be Trump again. 
    yeah it boggles the mind...the GOP figured out how to enrage their base using racism and ignorance. Unfortunately our electorate has a lot of horribly uninformed people

    And realistically, it's probably better than 50/50 he'll be elected in 2024, provided he's still alive. And even if he's not, we're probably looking at a clone, like DeSantis.  

    Trump unwittingly brought the party to new heights. "All elections we don't win are rigged" is never going away and it all started with the insecurities of a petty manchild.

    Judge Luttig was the hero today. Basically said there was no way he was going to let Pence make any other decision but also made it clear that Pence had no intention of going that route.

    I think Pence is an absolute douche but I do give him credit for doing the right thing.

    But Pence should have acted way before Jan 6th. He knew tRump was unfit and would not entertain the 25th amendment talk from the cabinet.
    The threshold for being unfit is, and should be, HUGE (YUGE?) though, and it is tossed around way too flippantly these days. I despise Trump as much as the next guy, but no one could have predicted he'd encourage an overthrow. Sure, in hindsight, certain people will claim to have, but I don't buy it. 
    Bill Maher said from day one that tRump wouldn't leave office. He was almost right.
    people made all sorts of predictions as to what trump would or would not do during or after office. sure, a couple came true. but now people are cherry picking the ones that did. 
    By The Time They Figure Out What Went Wrong, We'll Be Sitting On A Beach, Earning Twenty Percent.

    "The Transition Integrity Project (TIP)1 was launched in late 2019 out of concern that the Trump Administration may seek to manipulate, ignore, undermine or disrupt the 2020 presidential election and transition process. TIP takes no position on how Americans should cast their votes, or on the likely winner of the upcoming election; either major party candidate could prevail at the polls in November without resorting to “dirty tricks.” However, the administration of President Donald Trump has steadily undermined core norms of democracy and the rule of law and embraced numerous corrupt and authoritarian practices. This presents a profound challenge for those – from either party – who are committed to ensuring free and fair elections, peaceful transitions of power, and stable administrative continuity in the United States."





    To suggest that no one could have predicted his behavior after losing the election is simply false.

    While I doubt anyone would have predicted the sequence of events on January 6, I think a lot of people predicted that Trump, a lifelong sore loser would not lose gracefully or go away quietly. My prediction was that he would struggle with the very fact that he wasn't a dictator and would not do well with slow moving government. And for that, and many other reasons, I thought he was unfit. I didn't always think that way about others I dislike, such as Moscow Mitch, Rand Paul, etc...and my disliking of them and my not liking what they stand for did not make them unfit. Their fealty to Russia and the ongoing attempt at one-party autocracy, on the other hand, does. 

    What I could never have predicted is the entire party's role in helping Trump achieve his desire of being king.

    And we're at the point in the GOP where unfit is the new fit. MGT, Bobert, and Cawthorn were all elected because they lib-owning shock-jock types and they preceded to get paid six-figures of public money annually to tweet. Yeah, they're unfit. 

    I started replying with the intent of agreeing with you...but the more I think about, the more I think "unfit" is not really overused anymore.

    It still boggles my mind that POOTWH skipped the inauguration and still hasn’t conceded. That would in and of itself in the absence of 1/6 be abhorrent. And imagine if Al Gore kept going to court, ran his mouth, and then just blew off the inauguration?

    How shallow do you have to be? Even boxers just finished beating the crap out of each other shake hands.

    He is clearly an odd individual.  I wonder at the end of the day what drives him to do what he does.  He would have won the election if he wasn’t as much of an idiot on Twitter and stuck to the script more. All the legislation he was a part of and executive orders he enacted didn’t make him lose.  He barely lost because people were exhausted with his behavior.

    Gore's a sucker. He could have just found another slate of electors from one key state.

    Both Secretaries of State are being asked right away... "Safe to say, you wanted Trump to win in 2020"   Response: "Yes." 

    Why? Why? Why? Why?  

    All of these people are being shown as 'heroes' for protecting democracy...   why on earth were they rooting for this crook in 2020 after such a burning hot garbage presidency?   This alone is what baffles me.  The man had done nothing to earn anyone's respect before he even announced his candidacy.  He did nothing to earn anyone's respect during his first campaign. He did nothing to earn anyone's respect during his presidency.  What am I missing here?  These guys in particular don't strike me as the dumb, will fall for anything idiots that Trump seems to attract.  So why did they still want him to win in 2020?  What I'm hoping they ask... and I'm not sure if it's just deemed too much of an ask... would they vote for him in 2024?  Ask these people who wanted Trump to win in 2020 if they still want him to win today.  My goodness.

    Why? Why? Why? Why?  

    All of these people are being shown as 'heroes' for protecting democracy...   why on earth were they rooting for this crook in 2020 after such a burning hot garbage presidency?   This alone is what baffles me.  The man had done nothing to earn anyone's respect before he even announced his candidacy.  He did nothing to earn anyone's respect during his first campaign. He did nothing to earn anyone's respect during his presidency.  What am I missing here?  These guys in particular don't strike me as the dumb, will fall for anything idiots that Trump seems to attract.  So why did they still want him to win in 2020?  What I'm hoping they ask... and I'm not sure if it's just deemed too much of an ask... would they vote for him in 2024?  Ask these people who wanted Trump to win in 2020 if they still want him to win today.  My goodness. 

    They don't want to share the country with people they don't like,

    It really is baffling.  I know smart educated people who still support Trump.  The people I know don't seem like they are racist or homophobic so it's kind of hard for me to understand. I get they prefer GOP economic policies but can't wrap my mind that semi-intelligent people would support this guy then and can't fathom in any universe people who would still support this guy.  It's actually disheartening to know so much of this country would still support such human garbage that Trump and his family are.

    I've never believed the "if you support a racist you are a racist" idea. that's lazy. people have their priorities in life and politics, and vote for whomever alligns with those priorities. people are willing to look the other way as long as the offence is only perceived/debatable and not tangible (or they secretly share some of those same sentiments and just aren't overt about it). some only care about the cult of personality. some just want to watch the world burn.

    I don't subscribe to the idea either, but if you support a racist, then that means racism isn't a deal breaker for you.
