"I have also talked to people with the same outlook, Reason I asked, was it just here or nation wide?
"Locally there is a military group that has been training just in case they try to steal the election again.
"You are correct, something needs to be done, this situation can't go on. I am praying that mid-terms and investigations that will follow, will straighten things out."
You read it here, again and again: the extreme right is prepared to overthrow the Constitutionally elected government-
They know better than you!
That 'they' is, in their mind, better than any 'you' or any combination of 'you'. Everybody loses when that happens.
January 6 was the flash in the pan, next time will be the real thing.
There will be American blood on the ground before the decade is over.
A tectonic demographic shift is under way. Can the country hold together? > "Democracy depends on the consent of the losers. For most of the 20th century, parties and candidates in the United States have competed in elections with the understanding that electoral defeats are neither permanent nor intolerable. The losers could accept the result, adjust their ideas and coalitions, and move on to fight in the next election. Ideas and policies would be contested, sometimes viciously, but however heated the rhetoric got, defeat was not generally equated with political annihilation. The stakes could feel high, but rarely existential. In recent years, however, beginning before the election of Donald Trump and accelerating since, that has changed." ... Trumpists want a strongman to overturn elections? Good possibility that they can make it happen. Joe Biden will look like a divine gift after that happens. |
