Michigan certified its election results today, resisting bogus lawsuits and overt Presidential pressure.

And how exactly is trying to steal elections supposed to save democracy?

How exactly is trying to steal elections supposed to save democracy?

Great question!

It doesn’t.

By admitting that trying to steal elections is bad for democracy, you are admitting that the Democrats are bad for democracy.

Let’s count all the ways this election was a win for Republicans if you take Trump out of the equation:

—Mainstream polls missed the mark pretty much across the board, again. Alternative polling outfits like your favorite Trafalgar didn’t quite get it right either, but they were no more wrong than the supposedly professional-grade.

—Vast amounts of money were raised and spent by Democratic candidates, but the outspending didn’t really translate into votes.

—Republicans are likely to hold the Senate, pending GA runoffs.

—Republicans gained seats in the House. The party that holds the presidency typically loses seats in the House in the midterms. If that historical pattern holds, then Republicans could get a delicious impeachment of Biden on whatever grounds they’d like as early as 2022.

—And assuming Republicans also hold the Senate at that time, they could craft rules for an impeachment trial as tough on Biden as they were easy on Trump.

—Republicans held state legislatures throughout the country and therefore control gerrymandering in those states for yet another decade.

—Republicans will get to scream about any future efforts to prosecute Trump (i.e. efforts to actually uphold the constitution and the law) as evidence of Democratic pettiness and vindictiveness and tyranny and breaking from historical precedent since no ex-President has ever been prosecuted before. (Indeed, because we’ve never before in our history had a President who was as flagrant a corrupt self-dealer and lawbreaker and proto-fascist democracy-subverter as Trump with the possible exceptions of Andrew Jackson and Andrew Johnson.)

—Unburdened by the dumpster fire of Trump himself, Republicans have time to find a more professional advocate of Trumpism (a Ted Cruz, a Josh Hawley, a Tom Cotton) to carry the torch in 2024.

Tl:dr — Democracy isn’t over: and the owning of the libz is just beginning!

Cheer up, man!

–Trafalgar would be correct if there was no fraud in this election.

–Donald Trump is not a lawbreaking fascist and democracy-subverter.

–There is substantial evidence that Donald Trump was the rightful winner of this election, and that the Democrats are trying to steal it. If they are successful in stealing this election, I will probably lose interest in US politics, because what is the point in caring if the next election is going to be rigged anyway? So how can I cheer up when the US will probably not have a fair election ever again if the Democrats win? US politics is pretty much the only thing that people care about on the social media I use, so I don't know what the politically-interested social media user I am will do. The only thing that cheers me up and stops me looking like a complete doomer is hoping that justice will prevail and Donald Trump will win the election. But thanks for trying to cheer me up anyway.

Not sure you understand that the peaceful transfer of power from one party to another is a foundational aspect of democracy, and that the permanent rule by Republicans — particularly given it would be a minority rule cemented only by counter-majoritarian institutions like the Electoral College, rural-favoring apportionment of U.S. Senate seats, and the gerrymandering of U.S. House districts — that you long for would be just the opposite.

But anywho

Just like your little orange badge suggests, you’re a Trump cultist who doesn’t give a fig about political process or the long-game, let alone imagining that government can be and should be a bipartisan exercise toward actually solving issues for people and making the country a better place.

Yeah, being fed on a diet of right-wing social media in general will do that to you.

So the evidence of fraud should be ignored because you're a Biden cultist? Yeah, being fed on a diet of left-wing media in general will do that to you.

A whole lot of folks just grafted their pre-existing religious feelings right onto Trump

Never mind that Orange Man is a thrice-divorced, pornstar-banging Manhattan billionaire totally incapable of citing the Bible

Jesus man, still no original zingers?

Anywho

This is the meme I always post whenever anyone accuses me of being a Biden cultist. Made it a few months ago. Still a good joke!

Democrats don't hold their leaders on pedestals the way Republicans have kowtowed entirely to Trump.

And Biden himself doesn't have a cult; he's awkward, he's cringey, he's gaffe-prone. The least cult-of-personality driven candidate we've had in a long time.

As righties are fond of saying, people voted for Biden en masse because they were voting against Trump. Basically. I mean, Biden's a good guy, he has plenty of experience, he will no doubt do a good job as President, but he is not a 24/7 media presence or reality TV host or Twitter personality.

And he doesn't have legions of fans who do crazy things like I'm about to post

Supporting eight year old children undergoing gender reassignment surgery doesn't sound very "centrist" to me.

Someone who gropes children, covers up for his incestual pedophile son, makes anti-black racist statements and bribes Ukrainian officials does not sound like a "good guy" to me.

Biden has a cult. And it looks like you are a member, because you're defending the awful things he does and supports.

Meanwhile ignores the fact that Trump did nothing while 9.3 Million people died by Covid

Okay: so you inhabit a universe where every mainstream verified report about Trump and his malfeasance simply never happened, while every morsel of invented slur and slander about the Bidens — much of it from Giuliani, an inveterate liar, and some of it Russian-sponsored — is uncritically taken as total gospel

It would appear we have an irreconcilable disagreement about basic facts then

Until next time

Lotta masks there

These outdoor demonstrations resulted in a lot fewer Covid infections than you’d think

Because the MSM claims that Trump rallies spread COVID, and maskless BLM riots don't.

Tons of face masks

Not really.

BLM protests in London which might be nearer and dearer to you

I'm not hosting bitchute crap on my stream.

If you want to cite reputable sources, go ahead.

What about this

good guy thing or nah

oh yeah this too

apropos for the discussion

agree or nah

Joe Biden is racist, Donald Trump is not. The is video evidence of Biden insulting living soldiers, and no proof of Trump insulting dead soldiers. Biden covers up for his incestual pedophile son Hunter, bribes Ukrainian officials, gropes women (and little girls too), incites Antifa and BLM violence, and never tells the truth.

Re: “BLM Riots,” I condemn them in exactly the same way MLK condemned them.

That is, I condemn them equally vigorously with the conditions that caused them. Because addressing those inequities is ultimately the best and only way to prevent them from ever happening.

Satisfied citizens don't riot. They just don’t.

Plus, you and every other rightie who tries to talk intelligently about this is totally omitting the 95% of BLM marches that were peaceful.

I will post photos showing that the vast, vast majority of those who attended peaceful BLM marches were masked.

"Thank you Lord Jesus for President Trump"

Maybe kinda cultish just a little bit

Trump @ Covid superspreader rally #455 of the 2020 election

How many Biden supporters went unmasked during a pandemic risking life and limb just to turn out to catch a glimpse of the superstar?

As any number of Rightie memes making fun of Biden's minimal crowd sizes point out: Not many.

Facemasks are dumb, which explains why Biden supporters love them.

You called it

I don't sponsor links to anti-masker propaganda on my streams

Sorry, take it to "politics" or "conservatives" or any of your streams or BitChute or Parler or Gab

So you criticise a Trump rally because of the low number of face masks, but you're fine with the crowded Antifa and BLM riots, where a majority of the rioters are Biden supporters?

Wow you just proved his point XD

I think the explanation you seek is that we like science and staying alive

Cultish attire or nah

This is why the left can't meme.

please allow me to repost and dunk on the one meme you've made in this comment thread so far

Common template; default bold impact font, no text box editing whatsoever

But the main flaw with right-wing memes, your own included (however "good" or "bad" they are from a technical perspective) is that they're just wrong

That's an issue that cuts a lot deeper than any marginal efforts you might make one day to improve your own memecrafting and style
