Question is, will this voting fervor still be with us in 4 years, especially if candidates resemble the sensible profiles of past runners and not those of Nutter Buttercup and Ha’Pence? I hope so. It means the premise expressed in Lincoln’s of the people, by the people, for the people speech has come its closest ever to realization. Pray this interest continues, but without the violent battles between groups. Word battles, sure – that’s politics. Armed conflict is chaos and rarely ever brings peaceful resolution.
The latest news is that some of the GOP Senators will try to reject the electoral decision when it comes time for the Senate to officially accept. More good times!
We have an interesting social experiment in cultism. Normally the cult dies with its leader: Nazis, Jonestown, Heaven’s Gate, Branch Davidians …
What does a cult do when its leader continually disgraces himself?
How much denial, head turning, looking the other way and making up excuses are people going to have to go through before they see their leader as the sore loser, immature, spoiled, petty, mean person that he is?
They would not accept this kind of behavior from their children but they idolize it in Trump.
“With malice toward none; with charity for all; with firmness in the right, as God gives us to see the right, let us strive on to finish the work we are in; to bind up the nation’s wounds; to care for him who shall have borne the battle, and for his widow, and his orphan—to do all which may achieve and cherish a just, and a lasting peace, among ourselves, and with all nations.” From the Second Inaugural Address of Abraham Lincoln.
Biden overcame many tragedies and obstacles in his life. Biden, far from perfect, comes across as a decent human being weather you agree with his politics or not. Trump, on the other hand, born into wealth and privilege chose to large scale grift and con his way through life. Trump believes he’s entitled to have his a$$ kissed at every turn because he’s, well, Trump.
When the Democrats lost the White House in 2016, how many months did Hillary hold out before she finally admitted defeat? How many law suits did she file in state and Federal courts? How many tweets did she put out stating that there was massive fraud? How many times did she state that she actually won in a landslide? How many times did she use the word “rigged?”
I hate Hillary, and don’t have a lot of love for the Democrats, but I’ll let you judge which side is civilized and which side isn’t.
I don’t like the two-party system, but I do prefer it to the one-party system. Your choice: Democratic Party or Anti-Democracy Party.

Joe Biden: the Groundhog Day of winning elections.
And no, we Democrats are not tired of winning yet, no matter how many times Biden keeps the streak going.

Trump (2016): “We’re going to win so much, you’re going to be so sick and tired of winning.”
Biden (2020): “We never get tired of winning.”

It would seem that Trump thinks that winning is in the eye of the beholder.

It’s going to take time to filter out the poisons created by number 45.

He’s not POTUS till the oath has been administered and sworn to by him. (Just a reminder that some dogs never give up their bones.)
