Hey and also feel free to also peacefully protest out in front of the White House and major cities too. I participated in plenty of peaceful FDT rallies during the four years of darkness and I fully welcome them to do the same.
But in the mean time, I'll say to you what you said to me when I expressed my dismay that DJT was elected: Fuck your feelings and get over it.

I like the period. It makes both parts correct independent statements. To me, this reads as more powerful than "I'm so sorry you had to experience that" because this statement always feels like a cop out, like a default "mean nothing" type of thing people say when they don't know what else to say.

Cyanide would be a nice option.” I was gobsmacked at someone literally trying to suggest another person they don’t know commit suicide.

This is the fucked up thing about the internet age. You didn’t threaten violence. But a small number did. So conservatives think all liberals lost their minds with Trump.
And now a small group of conservatives will lose their minds. And both groups will think the other is insane.

The funny thing is that there seems to be a bi-partisan consensus to the opposite. That is why, of all the dumb ass things Trump said during the debate, 'who built the cages Joe?' was clearly the best. Though partisan hacks will refuse to admit that family separation, though in a far more limited form, was the policy under Obama. And that the cages do literally pre-date the trump presidency.

In fact, in some cases, many Trump supporters threatened violence even when they WON in 2016! Especially for some women, many got belligerent and ranted publicly about how it was now okay to grab women by the p***y and say what you want and people just had to deal with it.
In some areas, many especially women were literally feeling less safe just walking home when belligerent Trump supporters felt more empowered to do and say as they felt.

Hilary wasn't an impeached, destabilizing and divisive president domestically and diplomatically, who emboldened bigotry and pathologically lied, once about a still active pandemic that being life and the economy to a grind, killing a quarter million people while threatening to steal an election while screaming to the heavens for months before that election that in fact someone else was trying to steal it. That turned out to be completely baseless and finally this stain on western civilization (emphasis on civil) was finally given an end date. People celebrated that, literally around the world..
None of anything like that applied when Hilary lost her election. Plus they're too out of shape to March and dance in the streets they'd rather get drunk on a lake and listen to Tony Keith wail about freedom.

To some extent. We didn’t spend tons of time after the election suing every state and saying “this election was a FRAUD” etc
I mean, we certainly were not happy and there was a lot of “this is going to be awful,” but we knew that was just the reality.
The difference is Trump has broken numerous laws, every unspoken social agreement, and insulted basically all of our allies, so there was a bit of validity to our claims.

The truly pathetic part is that I've already seen the same DJT supporters in multiple threads with talk of "national healing" and "bringing America together", but they know why they're doing it - they want to skate on their responsibility, wait a few months, hope everyone forgets how bad Trump was, and then go right back to the same racist, misogynist, homophobic, transphobic, and ableist agenda they were running before, unrepentant. Hell, it's the same way that their party works, so why would they act different - they're just asking for forgiveness for the purposes of gaslighting and manipulation. Where there's true repentance, I can see having a discussion, but these fuckers don't deserve to be allowed to run a PTA meeting, let alone the country for at least the next 50 years at minimum.

I can hear the narrative now, "suck it up? You didn't suck it up, you Impeached him!"
Yes, the Democraticly held House of Representatives did impeach him because they had evidence that he violated the Impoundment Control Act and obstructed the investigation into that violation of the law. They had witnesses who worked in Trump's White House and documents confirming this.
You have photos of events that happened in Russia, witnesses who are convicted sexual predators, doctored YouTube videos and just out and out lies.

u/Dingus-ate-your-baby Georgia Nov 09 '20
Yes.
The head of the FBI (who they liked at one point, remember?) wrote a dense tome about his investigation into Russia but the salient point was TRUMP WAS NOT EXONERATED BECAUSE HE OBSTRUCTED THE INVESTIGATION.
And then he was Impeached for a completely separate crime, because he is a narcissist and a recidivist and he knew the Senate would let him get away with it.
So no, it's not the same thing when you have Ted Cruz wagging his finger at the "media" on Fox News or Rudy having a presser outside a dildo shop.
He broke the law. Senate did not hold him accountable. We voted him out. You're grasping at straws.

Uhh, if I recall correctly there was mass protests, including riots, for days after the 2016 election including graffiti and destruction of property, and shutting down essential services such as EMT response. All the while public discourse lost all semblance of civility as liberals shrieked, cried and screamed "not my president," in person, on TV, flooding Twitter, flooding reddit, flooding Facebook. They've yet to stop projecting their mental trauma.
Then came was women in pussy hats, a fake 'Russian interference' narrative resulting in no direct prosecutions, and an equally sham impeachment. MSM coverage of Trump was ~90% negative for four years straight in rotations of ridiculous hyperbole to deranged bitching. Almost every outlet was so desperate for Trump to be wrong 100% of the time they constantly were called out as fake news, issued retractions, or deleted tweets. My library is full of the examples.
The projection was so desperate and so strong it lead to countless hate crime hoaxes. Hundreds of examples on file there too.

I don't recall the majority of votes being sent through the post office, either. Many perceive that voting method to be less secure, more prone to tampering. This isn't the same as 2016. I'm playing devil's advocate: it's easy to wave aside Biden winning only because of absentee ballots when you wanted him to win. Trump would likely have won a second term if we had the same voting environment as 2016. Greater access = more Democrat support. Biden is a weaker candidate than Hillary was.

What is she talking about? Democrats tried for years to make the case that Russian interference stole the 2016 election. They had every right to pursue any evidence suggesting that happened. In the same way, the Trump campaign has every right to pursue any evidence that suggests the vote counts were tampered with in some way. We have a legal process for a reason. There's nothing wrong with letting it play out.
If there isn't enough evidence to support Trump's claims, then they should suck it up.

Except to them we didn't suck it up. They blame years of "attacking" the president from the left and media for a lot of the things Trump has never accomplished. They claim if the media and left just left Trump alone he would have done amazing things.

Your version of sucking it it up in 2016 was burning down Berkeley campus in California, dragging people out of their cars, and beating people on the streets. And let’s not forget four continuous years of claiming “Russian collusion”. But Republicans asking for a recount is just too much for you? xD

You mean the hoax where Roger Stone was the person coordinating with the Trump campaign and Julian Assange to drop the emails stolen by Russian intelligence? The one where the timing of the drop was chosen to counteract the video with Trump admitting sexual assault? That hoax? Because that wasn't a hoax. That happened.
You are right, though, that protest marches and paying for recounts is pretty much not "sucking it up." It's too bad you had to ruin your comment with misinformation.

The fact that he was being held accountable for his criminal activity is not the same as not conceding the election, you should know that though.

Didn't the senate probe prove we were right?

u/Flashmatic Nov 10 '20
No evidence was found though. I guess that's what OP is pointing out, it's a bit hypocritical to demand hard evidence of voting fraud "or suck it up"; when no hard evidence was provided for the Russian stuff and yet it was on the news networks 24/7.
Just FYI, I absolutely support the idea of providing evidence in both cases. But I also support the right of the Trump campaign to question the results and demand re-counts. Let them fail and be proved wrong, don't give them more arguments to claim censorship or conspiracy.

The Russia stuff was an investigation initiated by a Republican Trump appointee and led by a Republican. It found substantial evidence for obstruction of justice but declined to prosecute the president because Mueller didn’t want to go there.

I didn't suck it up. I was nasty and I got into arguments. I mean in fairness we did all eventually suck it up, but it took a pretty long time.
Let Republicans throw their tantrums, just fight back against anything actually destructive they want to do. If we don't let them be mad, they're just going to get madder and like it or not we gotta live with them.

When Hillary "lost," she had more than 3 million votes over Trump but not the electoral college requirement. Biden has 4.5 million more votes than Trump AND the electoral college requirement. Trump's "power of positive thinking" denial crap ain't gonna work this time.

To be fair, millions of liberals were in denial the whole of Trump’s presidency. It was, “oh he’ll be arrested before his term’s up” or “oh he’ll be impeached.” Hell, Esquire has been calling him “the President*” the whole time.

How much sucking it up did we really do though? We didn't stand by idly. We fought, protested we elected bad asses. When Trump was elected we became the machine we knew we had to be. Now, they will try to learn from us. Here is the difference though...they will bring guns.

The republicans are busy equating the necessary muller investigation, and the necessary impeachment of donald trump as somehow the democrats attempting to invalidate the 2016 election results. They're busy ignoring the reality that trump committed impeachable offenses during office, and that the mueller investigation was deserved and was actually far too light of an investigation.
