Mega-Thread: 2020 United States General Election

[Mihalik]

This transition is going to be messy, petty, and completely lacking in class, but it won't be violent unless we make it that way.

The question is transition to what?

A Biden administration or to a new Trump administration, as indicated by Mike Pompeo?

The biggest red pill is that both Trump and Biden are good dudes who want to do good for the country but both of their supporter bases are completely vile

I have come across do many false claims and flat out lies, ranging from 2000 election to this year. Almost all from some official GOP, not a crazy random.

You know why?

They know they can. 20 plus years of Fox and right wing media know they have sheep. Watching 4 years of Trump they saw what you can get away with.

Don't ever tell the most dangerous thing to our democracy in past 20 years was Fox news. I know hyperbole and slippery slope argument. Yet one day, maybe now this ignorance may bring down our democracy.

Tye

I think you're right, but the last 4 years of Trump has left a large number of conservatives well over the edge of what even Fox pushes. Just poking around conservative twitter and facebook and r/Conservative and you can clearly see a HUGE number of conservatives STILL believe that Trump won the election, and will support him no matter what. The conspiracies they share are just layered on other conspiracies that have already been fact-checked and debunked, but they don't believe fact-checking so its just more "evidence" to them.

And the best (worst) part is, not even Fox can stop the monster they've created. Just pumping the brakes a little bit on the crazy train has caused the crazies to jump over to Newsmax and OANN. They're calling Fox just as corrupt and liberal and fake as CNN for telling people Trump didn't win.

A Biden administration, because he won the presidential election. This doesn't need to be a discussion, it is simply how things work, and there isn't really anything that can change that.

If there was any doubt as to the outcome, we wouldn't have seen several hundred national leaders reaching out to Biden. This is over, Biden won. Trump is going to throw a fit, but he can't change anything here. There will be no coup, there will be no Supreme Court handing the presidency to Trump, there will be no second Trump term.

No. This "both sides" BS is old and inaccurate af.

I find that odd, coming from a devoted Trump supporter. You really should refrain from so much self-loathing.

[Valdhammer]

I wonder how many idiots are celebrating that as a big win for Trump today.

I would be in favor of packing all Trumpanzies into Alaska. They'll be closer to Russia that way as well.

I don't know, I always got the impression that Trump is a narcissistic sociopath that only cares about himself. EG stealing from a charity

In fairness Trump's team might as well transition to another Trump administration. It can't hurt because they won't have any power and I'm sure there's absolutely nothing useful they could pass on to the President's team.

Your president called for national unification and all the Dem supporters took that as a cue to continue attacking Trump supporters, ensuring that there will never be peace between the right and the left. Your true colors are becoming very apparent now. It was never about electing Biden to enact better policies than Trump. It was just because you were salty and wanted to be all smug and snarky that you beat Trump.

This sounds like something the rabid fanbase would say, because they can't fathom a situation in which Trump somehow did something bad.

It was 100% about electing someone with better experience, policies, and ability to do their job than Trump. Anyone who says otherwise is lying.

Your guy is a shitty racist who does everything he can to divide. Maybe people should stop supporting white supremacists.

Just a thought.

[AeneasBK]

Most of the people 'putting the boot in' so to speak aren't even American, let alone Democrat.

It's just your president has been such a massive shitheel that watching him squirm is hilarious.

Yeah, because being snarky on the internet is comparable to gearing up racist right-wing militias, trying to drive campaign buses off the road, intimidating voters and poll workers, spreading seditionist propaganda, etc.

Get fucked.

Anyone that thinks Trump is a "good dude that wants to do good for the country" is either completely delusional or 100% braindead.

"Redpill" culture is absolute cancer.

There's nothing "good" about a conman who grifted this country and did nothing while 240,000 Americans died.

Oh your true colors of being mad Trump lost are starting to show already. Explains the "BoTh SiDeS" bullshit you're spouting.

*Looks at the last 4 years of Trump's presidency.* Yeah......no, Trump does not want to do good for the country.

A fucken rock would be a better president than the conman you support. Trump is the modern day Hitler and yes for me personally I wanted him out and I didn't care who replaced him. I don't care for biden but he is and always will be the much better choice. Fuck this both sides bullshit, Last checked Democrat's wasn't threating peoples life's if they didn't vote for Biden.

Baby steps, get modern day Hitler out and deal with covid, Everything else can come after. Your just upset your godking lost a election he tried his hardest to rig.

That is the funny part too Trump is so fucken bad he lost a election he rigged in everyway to his favor.
