Election finally over

[Talon]

So the great shit-show is finally over.
But it's also just beginning.

I'm glad Biden/Harris won.
But I'll be a lot more happy once the Orange Maggot is ejected from the White House. I've already heard that Trump's gang of crooks is refusing to cooperate with Biden's transition team. He can still do a lot of damage on his way out.

And you thought it took a long time to call the election?
It's going to be a long 2 months.

You and me both. I hope that if they have to drag him out kicking and screaming, they get it on video. I'd pay good money to see that.

He's going to try and burn the entire place down with him. If he can't have it no one can.

Provided he doesn't actually try an idiot coup I fear he's not going to go away until he actually dies. He simply can't live without attention and the American media can't live without live tweeting his every move.

But yes I do hope he has to be trespassed out of the White House and it happens on video.

Oh hell yes.

In the years to come, the Republican party will do everything to pretend they never heard of Trump. He was just some covfefe boy. I hope the Democrats will not let that happen. I hope they rebrand the Pandemic as the Trump Virus. The Republicans will be the Trump party. And the symbol of the Trump party would be the above video, of the Orange Toddler being dragged out. Those images should be the albatross around the Trump Party's neck for years, if not decades to come.

It's probably not going to happen, since the Democrats suck at messaging. The one thing they seem to excel at most is protecting the status quo, even if it means the game is rigged against them. Then again, I was worried this election would be a repeat of Bush v Kerry. Strange things can still happen.

10 years down the road maybe.

Let's face it; Trump isn't going away unless he dies and Trump was only a symptom of the disease the Republicans have been fostering for years. Until you guys actually change your ridiculous election system that allows minority rule there's no incentive for Republicans to change tact.

The only thing I'm watching right now is the electoral college which is the last real possibility of idiocy occurring.

I actually do watch the skullduggery the RNC brings up because I'm genuinely interested in if it's real or not because party affiliation aside the absolute one thing that boils my blood is subversion of democratic principals. I haven't seen anything significant yet though.

Speaking of - since I know the RNC has their own experts on speed dial, if anyone has any interest in some of the statistical abnormalities, I knew the stuff didn't pass the smell test but this is the best explanation I've found for the layman:

Refutation of Dr Shiva Ayyadurai (MIT guy convinced in the stolen narrative)

Re: Republican Party at large - I think the biggest liklihood is going to be a la the Lincoln Project, the reformation of a third political party that either changes things or is reabsorbed after changing the overall narrative after it forces election losses for one or both parties.

Until there's something to drive the power away from the wing's there is no upside for either party to change course and they will continue to paint the other side as the wing (because that's who more and more gets the mic anyway).

He's going to end the republic one way or another. -.-

And now we know just how far his supporters are willing to go...even if people get killed in the process:

Woman dies after shooting in U.S. Capitol; D.C. National Guard activated after mob breaches building

Later at the U.S. Capitol, throngs of people pushed past police who were trying to block them from entering the building as lawmakers inside debated counting electoral college votes confirming Biden’s victory. A mob was able to breach security and successfully enter the building, where one person was shot and later died.

How much do you want to bet that these are the same people who complain about BLM protests as being dangerous and violent.
