Even in 2016 when the party was super divided they fell in line. The viral video of the rally today in GA for a boycott, your link about parlor, I'm much more optimistic of our chances of winning GA now then I was an hour ago. But it's still the GOP, in the end, they could end up just falling in line, guess we'll see. still up in the air, just feel better about it right now.

    Just remember one thing: they lie to the pollsters. On purpose.

    All I know is once Biden is in office, two things ABSOLUTELY need to happen.

    1-Elections and Crimes comission needs to be created that is going to investigate the previous administration. We need to absolutely know all the ways, and have detailed analysis, on the tactics the Trump administration has used in order to try and steal this election. Then we need to pass any legislation necessary in order to ensure the next "Trump" doesn't do this again.

    2-We need to prosecute the fuck out of Trump and everyone in this administration and everyone who aided and abetted this administration. We need to show the world that attempting destroy American democracy is the step that is too far.

    Stone, Trumps, Flynn, etc. all need to spend the rest of their miserable lives behind bar.

    This isn't me being bitter about 2016 or bitter that he's fighting it now. This is me having genuine concern that the next Trump analyzes where Trump failed and improve upon it the next time.

    I look forward to 2024. Trump will, hopefully, be in prison, and the next GOP nominee ends up getting like 45-50k votes while Biden cruises to re-election with 70k votes.

    At this point, I'm just waiting to see what happens on Monday when Michigan should be certifying their vote.

    I don't think anything will happen with PA yet. I'm worried about Michigan after the celebratory Dom Perignon at Trump hotel with Michigan lawmakers.

    you know what pisses me off to no end
    trump taking credit for DEMOCRAT policies (ppp, unemployment insurance, stimulus)
    these were crafted and passed by nancy pelosi, yet nancy is attacked as an "elitist feminist"( because shes a woman) and president trump as this "strong man" populist, even though the policies were actually nancy's
    and lets not forget they will literally call the same exact policies proposed by biden and dems as "socialism" now biden is president
    they KNOW "socialism" works but actively prevent it because they dont want the economy working under a dem admin
    i just wish our electorate wasnt so uneducated

    It's because the majority of those increased votes were in already blue states. Not in say, FL and OH where you really needed them. So his he was only strong in the places that were already going to vote Democrat, and weak in battleground states - this is the exact opposite of the entire rationale for nominating him.
    Why are Florida and Ohio significant, but Arizona, Nevada, and Georgia aren't, given that he won? The voters nominated him, what can I say? He wasn't my pick. Maybe they picked him because they thought he was the most electable; maybe in that field, he was the most electable, or maybe they just liked him the most, but either way, he proved to be electable against the white racial grievance whisperer with a rabid cult following, with the states he won. And frankly after this election, it's probably past time we lay blame on our electorate. 73 million of us turned out to vote for Stupid Hitler; he got 8 million more votes after, among other horrors, willfully killing a quarter million of us out of political calculation; some significant and increasing portion of his base genuinely believes Democrats are blood-drinking satanist pedophiles (harvesting adrenal glands or some such because sure)--it's not clear at all that a more exciting candidate or cleverer messaging or a better ground game would have been able to overcome that any better than Biden did.

    I think in general it is probably no fun to be a female politician.. some of what they get subjected to (which is on top of what they'd get as politicians in general) seem rather vile..

    Not saying that relates to your post at all, just random rambling

    I'm sure everyone else has noticed how the Trumpers/Trump rhetoric disappeared from this thread around the time that the election was pretty much called for Biden. I mean, I've seen a couple of Trumpers pop a few posts in, but their posts just seem to pretend they're regular old posters (as if they never taunted or trolled everyone else here).

    Given how absolutely quiet these forums have been from Trumperism, I assume all the racists, bigots, and peepoHonk trolls have crawled back under their rocks, put on their normal person disguises, and are once again going to pretend that they just support normal political discourse. I hope we have a nice master list of every poster who supported the border concentration camps as well as blood and thunder.

    Because it’s all projecting... Those who remain without infractions, will not return, because they expect the same reaction from Trump haters, as they acted on when Trump won. I don’t think it’s possible to convince Trump supporters, that the ire is 100% against Trump. There is no mob of posters exchanging recipes for conservative tears. The only reason Trump supporters ever got caught up in Trump hate, is because they chose to defend him. Not policy... not rhetoric... not even the GOP... but, defend Trump. TDS and Orange Man Bad, are not political points... that’s defending Trump, just because he is Trump... big shocker that the hate people have for Trump, will be transferred to you, when telling people they are deranged for criticizing the most powerful man in the country.

    TLDR: People don’t like it, when you punch down. The same doesn’t happen, when punching up.

    You'll see some of them back soon retconning their history while pretending to be outraged that Biden asking for Dijon mustard is a real scandal. The rest will just be driveby shitposters mostly on concern troll burner accounts.

    We're going to see plenty of Trumpers swearing up and down, how they never supported Trump, at any point, for sure. Don't know if there is any kind of list, but they made themselves visible enough, that they are going to be called out the moment they try to sweep that bullshit under the rug.

    However, I'm sure the Trumplodytes will come back with vengeance for the inevitable sequel for Trumperialism.

    Also, what the hell is peepoHonk? :S

    Most of them were claiming they didn't support or vote for him the last 4 years already. Truly amazing how many of them just say shit that lined up with Trump's ideals and wanting to own the libs, but never supported him nor voted for him.

    What nail biters? He clearly blew away Trump in PA, MI, and WI. His margin GA, was wider than his margins in PA, MI, and WI in 2016. He did far better in 2020, than Trump did in 2016.

    Yep, I think there was only ever a tiny handful of posters who fully admitted to having voted Trump, the rest would just argue in support of his methods/actions all the while claiming he was deplorable and they'd never vote for him.
