2020 US General Election Thread XIII: Nocturne

[Eukaryotic Cells]

And now the trump campaign lawyers are calling for violence against others - that they should be shot.

And now the trump campaign lawyers are calling for violence against others - that they should be shot.

We've lost our damn minds.

I'm legitimately confused as to why it took you this long to realize that and don't understand why it seems like the victimization of the Trump team played a key role.

You're not... ideologically dissident are you?

I'm not sure what you mean.

I'm concerned regarding the faith. The election system and legal system work because we as a people believe they generally do. Sure there's always been a few whackadoodles otherwise, but keeping the faith in the system in the general sense is the only way it can work.

With the threatening of election officials, the apparent threatening of good attorneys away from bad people, threatening of other officials who speak about the election, and how many of the victims are or are giving the appearance of bowing to these threats, we are rapidly eroding the faith.

To the point that I saw a poll earlier from Rasmussen that over 70% of republicans and 30% of democrats don't think our elections are fair anymore. 47% of the population in total.

If we collectively lose the faith in the system, then the system crumbles. You see?

And everyone was making fun of me when I warned polarization will tear America apart two years ago

Usually I would be smug about getting the last laugh but there’s nothing to laugh about here. America is literally tearing itself apart

[Ifreann]

Man, the news stream keeps playing the RNC chair of Georgia getting questioned by Georgia Republicans about why they should vote if the outcome is already decided.

So much for it being culture jammers on Parler. Georgia Republicans are on the hook. They're willing to go in person and challenge their own leadership with this, the stupidest of boycotts.

The rapid progression from people telling Republicans to shoot themselves in the foot to Republicans furiously sticking their legs through the bars of the lion enclosure has been very strange to witness.

In addition to his two dogs Major and Champ, Biden has announced he will also be getting a cat.

This is the bipartisanship America needs.

America is a country in decline in a lot of ways. It's sad to watch, honestly.

I'm glad our electoral system survived Trump's stress test, but he's going to leave a permanent mark on the country. We're probably going to see Trump copycats in other offices baselessly claiming fraud when they lose. I also wouldn't be surprised if him or one of his kids runs for President again.

And any support I had for Biden has now gone completely flaccid. Thanks for that.

Trump Supporters in Georgia Ask RNC Chair Why They Should Vote in Runoffs When System Is 'Rigged'

They really have the potential to fuck over the GOP in Georgia, do they? They do realize that if they vote, Republicans will win, right? My God, Trump's words really have convinced them:

One baffled Trump supporter at the event asked how Republicans turned out in such "crazy numbers," but somehow Joe Biden still defeated the president. He claimed "machines are switching the votes," a baseless accusation lifted directly from Trump.

Even the likes of Kemp, one of Trump's biggest supporters, is under fire:

"Kemp is a crook!" one upset Trump supporter shouted at McDaniel Saturday, a reference to the state's Republican governor, Brian Kemp, who is also a very public backer of the president.

Apparently, they still think they're a "silent majority" it seems and their loyalty is more to the man rather than the party. This will be a blessing for Democrats if the numbers are large enough though I doubt that will be the case. But it's something to monitor.

Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

Trump will run again in 2024 if he can.

Republicans are probably really regretting that Trump claimed the system was rigged.

Donald Trump is alleging that Joe Biden and the Democrats committed mass electoral fraud in order to steal the election from him. They've filed numerous lawsuits trying to overturn the results, but the vast majority of these suits have been dismissed or rejected.

So he’s angry over election loss and trying to change the results? Why have so many anti china activist groups here in India organized the "stop the steal" protest?

Yeah. He's also raising a lot of money to carry out these lawsuits. Something like half of that money is being used to pay down his campaign's debts. So there's some financial motives at play here as well, in my view.

I don't know why there are stop the steal protests popping up in India. They also happened in Tokyo, apparently. Maybe there is some astroturfing going on? Trump is seen as being strongly anti-China in comparison to Biden, that might be a factor as well.

Fox News’s Geraldo Rivera warned on Monday that President Trump's continued sowing of doubt in the election process could cost the Republican Party the Georgia Senate races and control of the upper chamber.

Rivera told Fox News's "The Story with Martha MacCallum" that "if people lose faith in Georgia’s electoral system," Republicans will not show up to vote in the Jan. 5 runoff races, which could open the door to Democrats winning the Senate.

Please cost them the Georgia runoffs.

That would just be so satisfying, that supporting (or at least not coming out in force and condemning wholeheartedly) a blatant attempt to steal the election cost them control of the Senate.
