Comment on If the democrats executed the same fake electors scheme trump tried to execute, wouldn't Republican opposition be admission of trumps guilt?

  Parties are people. I expect nothing from the leaders but would hope they stepped the fuck down. Not going to happen. It’s the party supporters that I take issue with. You can start building the alternative today but instead you want to sit there and stare at trump while your complete powerless to stop it. There is no savior dem that will step up. There is no revolution forces that will over throw the government. There is just you, being fooled into thinking your rights and freedom aren’t a whim away from some orange asshole extinguishing them.

    And it’s the same Republicans who said Supreme Court nominations shouldn’t happen right before an election and also voted in nominations right before an election. They don’t give us shit about anything. Why would we go through a stunt when they wouldn’t think twice about how they are hypocritics. they know then are, they just don’t care.

      Why not? Give em hell. That’s what I say.

      Repubs think they are all so crass when they break the rules. They think they’ve outsmarted everyone and really pulled on over on us simpletons.

      I know, and you know this too, we are holding back. We have morals so we can engage. The same faculties that gave us those immutable morals could be used for other purposes though.

      Good natured people, in my mind, are brilliant people. They do the hard thing because it’s the right thing. The second they don’t have to do the hard thing anymore because it’s no longer the right thing is like removing a handicap. Think of all the cleverest, most hard working, and determined people you know. If they don’t vote D, I don’t believe you know any.

        what do you think the results will be?

        They will point to all the laws they ignored and say they apply. When you point out “hey you did the same thing” they will change the subject or ignore you comment. They know they are hypocrits and don’t care. They will do whatever it takes to win including cheat. So again I ask you what do you think will happen? I think the answer is nothing.

    It doesn’t matter because they will just spin it, ignore any relevance to their own actions, and repeat it enough that it becomes the narrative. This is the standard M.O.

      The people it matters to won’t be Republicans. It will be a signal to everyone n e who has inv3sted 8 years in them they won’t go down without a fight.
