re: Anyone notice the difference in the Dems?

Trump thoroughly embarrassed and humiliated them.

This. The blowout tempered their reaction. Had it been as close as 2020 appeared then they’d be in the courts and the streets.

because they don't have control on both houses this time, if they still controlled both houses like 2016

Uh, after the 2016 election, Republicans had 52 Senate seats and 241 House seats, aka, both chambers.

2016 Election Results

They just want to claim anything better that 2020 as a victory.

Fine with me. Riots are bad.

They will still bitch about EVERY DAMNED THING HE SAYS. But they are taking the “it’s just 4 years” attitude.

Fix their own message and party. Hope Trump does little of consequence. Especially with Congress red and a Supreme Court that is red. If little gets done that’s a talking point for midterms and 4 years.

Media? They can’t help it. Every “gotcha” moment they think they have they will report. In some ridiculous hope they will. Be the next Woodward and Burnstein?? (Watergate guys names are hazy to me).

This coming from the Dems who have called Republicans, fascist, Nazis deplorables, crazies, weird among other things.....FK em.

There is a schism between the out of touch but well funded far-left/ progressives and the liberals/moderately left centrists. Not to mention intra-party identity politics and finger pointing (women pointing at black men, black men pointing at Latinos, etc). Not to mention the fact that this administration is not worried about re-election AND a former Vice chair of the DNC who may or may not know all the dark secrets and was scorned by the Clinton wing of the party is now in the White House on the other side. The one area that the Dem party excels at is a top down approach to messaging and alignment. Right now it is unclear who will be at the top and which ideology will prevail so there is quiet because there is no instruction. Almost like insect hive having no guidance from a queen.

It’s called a honeymoon period. After he takes office, there will be a nasty divorce.

The media didn’t learn a darn thing from this blowout. They are double and tripling down on the hateful rhetoric. They know they are in their death throes.

The normal Dem on X is screaming to the sky about voter suppression. They can’t understand where the extra 20 million votes went. Of course, we are there with charts and graphs to help them to the logical conclusion that 2020 was stolen. They are slow learners, but some will get there.

They are also saying that Harris should not certify the election, that she has the right not to. We are also there with articles showing where the Dems closed that loophole in 2022 to make the VP’s role in this process ceremonial only.

Here’s the LINK to one, just in case you need it.

The politicians being quiet is disconcerting. I think they are stunned. I think they were prepared to lose the EC, but win the popular vote and argue that point as a reason to not certify. Now? My gut says that they are spending equal time trying to figure out their next move while simultaneously packing to leave the country before REAL justice comes for them.

When Trump completely clears house in the federal bureaucracy and starts going after the people that went after him for the better part of a decade they will cry fascism. They will say “that is exactly what Hitler did.”

They will use his mandate against him. Every move he makes will be “unprecedented.” They will push for violent protests. And, eventually, once again, impeachment.

They will seek out a response from the right. Lest we forget what they’ve done. Get ready.
