As someone who voted against Trump twice, I am horrified by his attempts to cling to office. At the same time, I am also reminded of the people in my social circle as well as in the Lefty media who in late 2016 talked about how Electoral College members had no legal obligation to cast a vote for Trump. (Except that many states have laws that say they do.)
What seems to be true of "both sides" is that both see their enemies as people who are set on their destruction and thereby justify "by whatever means necessary" thinking.
I too am one of those people thought a pinko socialist by some and a revanchist caveman by others.
- mbStavola 6y agoPundits questioning the electoral process is not the same as politicians actively trying to overturn election results.
- coward8675309 6y agoTrue. And people filing lawsuits is not the same as armed insurrection.
- coward8675309 6y agoTrue, and filing lawsuits is not the same as violent, armed insurrection.
- underseacables 6y agoAs a person who voted for Trump twice, I’m horrified by the blasé way the left ignores serious issues with the vote. If you were a Facebook moderator, I truly believe that you would censor me because of your own political beliefs, and allow hate speech by those you agree with. I’m not alarmed by his desire to hang on to power, I champion it.
- bluntfang 6y agoJust wondering, do you think there were serious issues with the vote in 2016?
- coward8675309 6y agoMaybe go find someone who subscribes to the NYT or watches MSNBC to hurl your unfounded accusations at. Because you’re not replying to someone who’s trying to grind you into dust.
- loopz 6y agoNot sure how to take an incapable president seriously, other than he's very good at manipulating. Letting hundreds of thousands die while providing special treatment for himself and his cronies. However, there must be grave concerns that should be addressed politically, that shouldn't be ignored by either party. It seems both parties are hostage by the political system and dark background billionaires. Unfortunately, either is unable to break the stalemate into more constructive middle-grounds. This is the most serious concern, that this is exactly the intention.
- tim333 6y agoI think the left are blasé just now because: a) Any irregularities are too small to effect the outcome b) Most serious biases in the process are pro republican
- cafard 6y agoAs best I recall, the one faithless elector in 2016 was the John Kasich, a very conservative Republican, who threw away his vote on John McCain.
