by the way, you are lying about stacey abrams and hillary. yes, they conceded

but it was a mere formality.

Yeah, that's all it is, anyway.

they have spent the last 2-3 years absolutely undermining the legitimacy of elections.

Hillary LAST MONTH said that biden shouldn't concede UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES!

Hey calm down. She has no power and is not running, who cares? Also, this is clearly a response to Trump's rhetoric. And now I'll pull from your playbook and say that I'm not excusing her tactics here. She just doesn't matter, and it amuses me that people care so much what she says.

quote:

---

Former Democratic Georgia gubernatorial candidate Stacey Abrams on Sunday refused to describe her Republican opponent Brian Kemp as the legitimate new governor. In an interview on CNN’s State of the Union, Abrams suggested voter suppression played a role in the state’s gubernatorial election

---

Again, so what? She doesn't have legions of rabid followers.


To clarify, I'm not worried about Trump not leaving office, or about the specific things he says he will or won't do. The concern is how people will behave as a response to his rhetoric.

Yet recent surveys of americans have found that people think if biden loses, there would be worse riots/post-election violence than if trump loses re-election.

---

Now we believe surveys?

We can't know, neither before nor after the fact, which result would end in more violence because only one sequence of events will happen. I have little doubt that there will be extreme protests and probably violence should biden lose, especially if he wins the popular vote and a republican wins via the EC yet again. Would you blame the citizens of any other supposedly democratic nation for rioting if 3 out of the last 4 times that a particular party won the presidency, they did so with the minority of the populace supporting it?

there are crazies on both sides.

And don't forget the very fine people.

They don't represent a sliver of what most americans are, luckily.

You have more confidence in that statement than I do.

I remember this people during the bush years. Nothing ended up happening.

---

Bush never had anywhere near the influence over people that Trump does, for whatever reason. People were not so divided. There was not already protests going on at the time.

quote:

---

The 2018 midterms didn't result in any violence, nor have any special elections.

---

Again, tensions were nowhere near as high, and neither were the stakes. I hope I am wrong, obviously, but I am almost certain that the post-election fallout will dwarf all the protests of the last few months.

Bush never had anywhere near the influence over people that Trump does

Maybe not to the degree, but my side acted grotesquely towards anyone who opposed Iraq war and other bush foreign policy. We accused those opposed to the wars as being traitors, against the troops, haters of America, etc. the keynote speaker at the RNC in 2004, zell Miller, accused John Kerry, a veteran, of intentionally voting against sending armor and supplies to the troops because he thought they were occupiers.

It was a disgusting spectacle.

So while bush himself didn’t have the cult of personality trump does, I think those early foreign policy years after 9/11 were a “cult of personality” of their own.

My side played a large role in the planting of the seeds of the horrendous division

Now Biden sniffs and touches little girls on live TV and it hasn’t seemed to invoke your ire.

he Left has spent years trying to convince us how unhealthy Trump is. He beat COVID-19 in under a week. Tough break, ya commie bastards.

Do you deny that the vast majority of Trumpers will claim fraud if he loses? Trump himself primes that pump every single day in no uncertain terms.

---

Intellectual dishonesty at its finest. Coming from the party that has tried to delegitimize Trump’s presidency for 4 years.

You do know that the Democrats have been “priming that pump” by claiming he’s a dictator and will refuse to leave office, while still saying Biden should not concede under any circumstances, etc?

The fact is we have PROOF the Democrats attempted to steal the last election (Russiagate fraud, the COUP) and proof this cycle (Project veritas, Pennsylvania indictments, etc)—so why wouldn’t he bring it up? Democrats will do anything to steal the election

quote:

I know people personally who believe that Trump is literally an angel of god. They think that their political beliefs are backed by the bible, so that they cannot be wrong. They think that democrats are literally agents of satan. I'm not making this up.

You absolutely are making that up.

Scruffy finds it hilarious how that is the stance of you progressives, but y’all completely ignore the most expensive riots/destruction in US history over the previous 6 months.

Yea, it’s the group of individuals who haven’t destroyed anything that everyone should be worried about.

Korkstand was the same poster who claimed she knew people in CHAZ and it was going really well
