Just out of idle curiosity -- about the election...

[Evangelicalhumanist]

Since Donald Trump and JD Vance won the election, and the Republicans regained the Senate, has anyone noticed a single member on the left complaining about how the whole thing was rigged, and the election was stolen from Harris/Vance?

It does seem a tad different from this same time 4 years ago, doesn't it?

Indeed. So, will Biden show up for Trump's inauguration? Without a doubt. Trump refused to show in 2021.

Harris conceded quickly. Trump never did.

Democrats = Class; Honor; Integrity; Respect for the Law; Respect for the USA and it’s Constitution.

MAGATs = None of the above.

It’s primarily because Harris was ready to become the president of every American citizen; while The Insurrectionist wishes to represent only a small fraction of the 72 million Americans who voted for him.

There will be more US citizen and other human deaths because of his second ‘term’. And they so easily could have been avoided.

We lost. Fair and square.

We're different than them. That's probably what cost us the election, I know.

Yes, on Reddit this is being pushed as we speak. It appears to be Russian disinformation afaict.

Yes, people who obey the rules are at a disadvantage compared to those who break them. In sports, we have umpires, referees and so on. In US politics we have ... well we used to have ....

I guess there is a conspiracy theory all over X that starlink satellites made 20 million votes disappear, the starting of which is being blamed on the left wing? Obvious false flag.

Here is Trump's concession speech:

Notice the date. He didn't concede until after his coup failed.

 

[Evangelicalhumanist]

Notice the date. He didn't concede until after his coup failed.

Also note:

1. He didn't say "Biden won," he said "Now, Congress has certified the results." And for the past four years, he has said literally hundreds of times that "frankly, we did win."
2. He said: "I would like to begin by addressing the heinous attack on the United States Capitol. Like all Americans, I am outraged by the violence, lawlessness and mayhem. I immediately deployed the National Guard and federal law enforcement to secure the building and expel the intruders. America is and must always be a nation of law and order. The demonstrators who infiltrated the Capitol have defiled the seat of American democracy. To those who engaged in the acts of violence and destruction, you do not represent our country. And to those who broke the law, you will pay.

The quote in blue is simply an outright lie -- he "immediately deployed" his television to watch the lawlessness and mayhem with glee, and to the quote in red, he has already promised to pardon them.

I've made some insinuations here on the forum about election interference. Because it did happen. Aside from Trump's attempts in 2020, his federal court cases were stymied based on Trump's appointments of judges.

The claim was that he did not concede. he did.

In a manner of speaking. But he never
admitted that Biden won. And Trump
continued claiming the election he won
was stolen from him.

Garbage. Throwing smug insults around at half the country ain't classy, honorable or showing integrity. And you wonder why you lost the election. Stop thinking you're so better than everyone you disagree with.

Actually, MAGATs only make up roughly 25% of the Republican party. But primarily, I was talking about Republican politicians; as is the OP.

Most of the 72 million voters who pathetically put The Conman & Chief in for his second term, were simply deluded and misled. They truly believe that they are doing the right thing and that they are being patriotic, but the facts show that they are simply wrong.
Then there are those Republican citizens who voted against their own best interest, simply because they have always voted Republican straight down the ticket, without ever considering the people or the policies they are placing into power.

The quote in my signature, which I have kept there for many years, still holds true from when Thomas Jefferson first stated it…. ”For a democracy to survive, it requires a well-educated public.” This of course is tautological.
The failing of the education system and the presence of social media (which is effectively a multi-million-person gossip fence) have turned a once reasonable populous into a massive herd of puppets for the ultra-rich to play with.

I'm pretty sure as the country improves under the Trump Administration this sanctimonious rant will be useful in what way?

I look forward to it. I wish the best for the new POTUS and the Congress. I truly hope they will make the USA a better place.


Do I expect that they will?
NO. Quite the opposite.

All of tRump's policies and stated opinions will lead to loss and failure. Not just in my own opinion, but in the analysis by all professionals who have reviewed the suggestions that he has made to date. Bypassing all of the ethical and moral and felony issues of putting that worthless, self-obsessed POS into office, his policies are ruinous.
But these facts are all well-known, and are NOT the topic of this thread, therefore I will cease with my continuous efforts to educate the misled in this thread at this time.

I am fascinated by the olympic-level gymnastics you are willing to go to -- really.

Think about how you would feel about the sports team that stood on the slightly lower platform while gold medals were awarded to the winners, and who forever after said, "they may have got the gold, but we won." You would call them "bad sports" and "poor losers." You'd be ashamed of them, as you should. Trump never said "I lost," nor did he ever say "Biden won." Quite the contrary, which served to do absolutely nothing but convince millions of Americans that your institutions don't work. That's shameful, and if you weren't in love with this turd, you'd admit that.
