I hope Trump does not concede.
I hope Trump does what he can to make the transition as difficult as possible.
I hope Trump stays in the news and is seen as a general menace.
As long as Trump doesn't do anything massively harmful, I hope he shows how ugly and disgusting Trumpism really can be.
Why?
Georgia, that's why. Everything, and I mean everything, depends on winning in Georgia. It's an uphill fight for a Democrat to win a statewide runoff in Georgia. The worse Trump gets, the better our chances.

Religion is the opioid of the masses!
Copeland is probably devastated because he sees his chances of becoming a billionaire going out the window:
What denomination is Kenneth Copeland?
The website Beliefnet lists Copeland as the richest pastor in the country, with a net worth of $760 million. The leader of the “Believer's Voice of Victory” TV show and network is described as a giant within the Word of Faith branch of Pentecostalism

Unfortunately this is happening in churches all across the US.
These people are so easily brainwashed. They'll believe anything.
Nice try but, after a few days of r & r, looks like the Don is back at work. Isn’t freedom awesome?

2, Being hated in DC is a strong appeal in the flyover states. According to Trumpers, that proves how he is "draining the swamp." Being hated in NYC means he is standing up against the Wall Street, being hated in LA means he is standing up against Hollywood, and being hated in SF means he is standing up against Silicon Valley. Remember he is for the "forgotten men and women" of America. So he is against Wall Street, Hollywood, Silicon Valley as well as the Washington insiders.
And the big difference is that Democrats do not strive to be hated in areas where they do not get the votes.
We appreciate the crops we get from the midwest and south.
And the beautiful scenery of Utah and Wyoming. The vastness of Texas.
Why would being hated by Americans have an appeal?
The tax base and activity in New York, Los Angeles and DC go a long way to funding our military. Don't Republicans or Trumpsters appreciate that?
Sound like a bunch of self-loathing people that derive joy from seeing any chance at other people being unhappy.
The truck decal of Trump peeing on the word "liberals" says it all.
They have no idea what it is to be an American and that we have the word "United" in the name of our country.
I wish them luck and that they find some kind of contentment in their lives.

As a non-american who has been super caught up reading about all this election drama over the past few days, if there is one thing that's completely obvious to me, it's that the "left" and "right" are not nearly as different as they think they are. You all come across in the same hateful and immature manner as the next person does. Same idiot standing on opposite sides of the fence.
Just do what Canada does and hate your government in unison lol. Stephen Harper and the conservatives? We ****ing hated them. Trudeau and the liberals? We ****ing hate them too.

CORRECT! Sally is not me. Sally is a loser who got owned during this election cycle and is trying desperately to show he had some power over us (because he has none) that we didn't realize. He's full of crap, and he's a loser.

But in all seriousness yes it’s being done out of pettiness and rage and likely also because they want to conceal just how bad things have gotten out of hand for as long as they can. Remember, Trump needs to milk his supporters for another two months unobstructed.
CORRECT!

Hopefully Biden will actually do ONE of the things that Trump promised to do and never did, and that is put people to work with a MASSIVE infrastructure rebuild of our country.
The country, not just Democrats, does need to reach out to these disillusioned people. Some of their concerns are valid...not enough to insulate them from being JUST stupid or racist in supporting Trump, but we don't need to have a large group of Americans to be dissatisfied with their lives here. My sympathy there lies FIRST with people who have been marginalized because of things they can't control...color of their skin, area of the world they were born in, sexual identity. Beyond that though, I DO have sympathy for the uneducated who have been ignored by Republicans and Democrats alike. Trump didn't do sh!t for those people other than to give them a voice for their rage.

Oh my God.
The media doesn't declare who becomes president. They just report who becomes President.
Also, that evil b@stard for sure accepted it when the media announced that Trump was elected in 2016.

I feel the same way and said so earlier. The big IF is that his refusal to accept can't end up being hurtful to our nation in any way and can't lead to violence. If I had a crystal ball that told me either of those two things would happen, then I would be VERY happy to see him refuse defeat and be forcefully removed from The White House.

Well, your observation is crap. Our country has never been so divided, and it is because of Donald Trump. No, he didn't start it, but he is not just a symptom, He is a secondary infection that got out of control. He has empowered racists in our country when they were on the run. He has empowered people to be cruel. He has trampled on the US Constitution including but not limited to the First Amendment. He is the first US President ever to seriously challenge the fact that we are a Democracy. He spoke about running for a third term because he didn't like the way he was treated in this first one. Umm...how about no. The Constitution says no. He doesn't give a sh!t about what it says.
This is not a dispute about policy. Donald Trump was (and to a MUCH lesser degree still is) a danger to our very way of life here in the US. The American people spoke clearly to the tune of more than 5 million votes against him.
Trumpers and Democrats are not even close to being the same.

Two chances: Slim and None. And Slim's leavin' town.
The GOP Senate will suddenly get religion and become horrified at the prospect of more deficit spending. But their real objection is that infrastructure development and the associated jobs would just make a Democratic administration look good, and that is unacceptable.
*Screw* that "good of the country" stuff: "If a bill won't maintain and increase Republicans' power, it *can't* be good and we're against it."
Taking full advantage of this Biden market rally!

OK, sally.
If you and sally aren't the same person (it's obvious that you are) , then you two at least have the same personality and intellectual capacity. And as said previously, you are both trolls and a$$holes. You just happen to be on opposite sites of the spectrum. Coincidence?

I submit to you that you might be correct. Seems a possibility that it could be presented as a win-win for both sides, but I agree that the odds are against it. Hopefully we don't have to have a large bridge failure with fatalities to make it happen.
