Cont: Trump's Coup - Part 3

Right. Dems act like the massive voter turnout in 2020 was due to everyone being dismayed with Tump. The reality is, the pandemic is what made that happen. People sitting on their asses, with nothing better to do than vote, lol.

No wonder Republicans are opposed to making election day a holiday. Republicans hate it when there is massive turnout.

You've got to wonder about a political party that can only win through gerrymandering and other election shenanigans. Of course the big problem with the GOP is that it doesn't serve the interests of the majority of the American people. It's simple math: you can only get so many votes from the one percent, so you have to cheat and gaslight the rest.

Well you can't establish white-minority rule if you let non-whites' votes matter.
 
Never forget that the Republican definition of "win" and the Democratic (and sane) definition of "win" aren't they same.

No they can't win... via our definition of winning.

They most certainly can via theres.
 
And "We can't win if the election is open, honest, and fair" is another one of those "What are talking about? They already said the quiet part out loud they can't unsay it" discussion we keep being forced to have.

Yes Republican can't win without cheating. They've already admitted that. Making us "show me where they said that" or otherwise talk about it YET AGAIN is just a troll move.

With inflation and high prices fewer Democratic voters will be motivated to vote in 2022 so Republicans make take back the house and senate, it the Democrats are not motivated to get out the Vote.

You missed a sentence in my post. Here, let me help you with that.

They can shut down the Jan 6 committee, but they can't put all that evidence back in the bottle.
The Biden DoJ has until 2024 to indict and prosecute Dump. His tactics to stall are running out against state charges for tax evasion. The walls are closing in on him.

There isn't evidence Trump broke the law January 6th.

Majority of Voters Used Nontraditional Methods to Cast Ballots in 2020

As I have said before, Covid was the Dems savior in 2020. In more ways than one.

:rolleyes:

The pandemic? You mean the one that demonstrated just how horribly incompetent Dump actually was?

As for how people voted: the opinion piece you quoted forgot to subtract the ~40% of voters who also voted 'non-traditionally' in 2016. I don't see they accounted for the pandemic issues. And I don't see they even addressed the fact a number of states are now all vote my mail which they will be in 2022 as well.

Dump is dangerous. He's still peddling the Big Lie to his cult followers. A number of cult followers are in the Congress. And the cult has been exposed for what it is, people following a pathological narcissistic liar.

I do believe that will motivate a lot of people to turn out again to fight against all the voter suppression tactics the minority is imposing to try to regain power.

Why did you put that link in spoiler tags?

For anyone not wanting to open the Youtube link without more information: it's a CNN news piece interviewing Jamie Raskin about his new book about the insurrection.

There is evidence that he incited imminent lawless action, whether or not you agree that he was guilty of it.

That is interesting. If I say the speech does not meet the Brandenburg standard, is that speech also evidence for the claim that it did meet the standard? hmm

”Take a look at” has long been one of Trump’s most annoying verbal tics. But it’s also textbook slippery con-speak. It implies without actually stating, leading the listener/reader to make the connective leap while believing they haven’t even taken one step. And he, without batting an eye has a ready defense along the line of, “What, I didn’t accuse anyone of anything.”

Like a magician’s slight of hand, though in Trump’s case the hand is of course miniature.

Democrats are attempting a federal takeover of our elections, which were deliberately left up to the states to keep autocracy from taking hold in America. I'm working w/ a bipartisan group of colleagues on election reforms because any change to our voting laws must be bipartisan.

I'm not fighting against the January 6th commission; I just realize that it is largely serving a political purpose. And I think it will play a part in sinking Trump.

The two Republicans you mentioned broke solidarity with the party. So, of course, their motivations are going to be in question by the party at-large. If 99% of the party supports one thing, and these two go against it...are they really representing their party in this matter?

As far as being "exactly like any other Trump supporter", I find that an invalid characterization. I'm not a Trump supporter. But, I'm also not going to roll over and become a fervent Dem over my disapproval of Trump.

"I parrot Trumpist talking points but I'm not a Trump supporter" isn't as believable of a ploy as you might think it is.

Ah Romney your morals held for... about 5 minutes. A new record.

The Republicans will protect him unless even if they have direct evidence of him being linked to the entry of the Capitol.

Fixed it for you.

Republicans will protect Trump, regardless of what he has done, or what evidence is provided.

They could have photographic proof of Trump giving oral sex to Putin, while Putin personally hacks into the Democrat's mail server (and Assange looks on lovingly) and they STILL would absolve Trump of everything.
