This insanity and refusal to accept reality by so many, doesn't bode well for our country. I fear there will be a self fulfilling prophecy here and that the integrity of future elections will now be in jeopardy. If you think others have cheated you out of an election, you might feel that you need to cheat too on the next election. This is one of the lasting legacies of Donald Trump.
No one likes to lose an election. It hurts. But trump has taught his followers, you don't have to feel the hurt, you can just deny reality and feel anger about it instead.
This is bad for democracy.
There was probably GOP Election fraud in NC., FL., TX., and OH. You had someone with super Covid response Incompetence ! Had a 42 percent approval and he received 74 million votes ?!?!? Sure !
70% of Republicans believe that Biden did not get enough votes to win the election.
Those doubts are concentrated among Republicans, 70% of whom say they do not think Biden won enough votes to be president. But the share of Republicans who falsely say there is solid evidence that Biden did not win has dropped from 58% in January to 50% now.

On one hand, this might be a more significant achievement for Trump than anything he did as President (granted, his accomplishments as President would make for a pretty short list). He still controls a strong majority of Republicans, and seems to have them brain-washed like a cult leader.
But for Republicans, Trump's hold on the party seems to only guarantee more election losses. Trump, and his brand of politics, have been pretty strongly rejected by American voters, both in 2018 and in 2020. It's hard to see a reversal of this trend while Trump is still dominant force among Republicans.

Don’t give up hope Trumpsters, he’s still going to overturn November’s election result, no really he is.

Trumpists. Criminals all day, every day.
Is there anything that can redeem, that can save the Republican party. Trump has taken them so far down the rabbit hole that it looks like there is no way out. Dishonesty, greed, fraud and pure fantasy has taken hold of the party. If Liz Cheney loses her leadership position the party is truly doomed.
The party have been lead to accept nonsense of Trump. The majority of Republicans not only believe Trump they are angered that the election was "stolen" from them. Trump is still dominate in this pathetic group.
Today we will find out if Trump's punishment of being banned from social media is over. It will be very bad for Republicans if Trump is given his voice again. He will be able to continue to destroy the party.
The best thing that could happen for the Republicans would be to continue lose bad in the next elections. That would prompt them to have a rebirth, a change. The worse thing for the Republicans would be to have some election success which would perpetuate the Trump influence.
I am a moderate democrat and I want to see a responsible and ethical Republican party. The Republican party we have have has caused a very strong opposite reaction in the Democratic party and the most progressive members of the party are getting very strong. We still have older Democrats who rule and have very good judgment but the younger progressives, motivated by hatred of Trump have become stronger.
Trump represents the absolute worst in American politics and although he has destroyed any sense of moral value from the Republican party his affect on the Democrat party has not been good either.
Thank God for Biden, if the Republicans don't get rid of Trumpism, the next wave of Democrats will be more radical than Biden. Biden already has had to move a bit further left than he normally would have.
We need to end Trumpism for the good of the country.
The few honest and ethical Republican leaders agree with me. They see their party devolving into a cesspool.

Radicals are not taking over the Democrat party. Just last year, the Democrats nominee was a moderate. The block of people on the left that might support someone like Ocasio-Cortez, is not large enough to have any influence. As people grow older, they become more pragmatic and this generation will be no different. The hippies of the late 60s were going to change the world, but ended up being moderate or even conservative. If Ocasio-Cortez wants to move on to becoming a senator or governor, she needs to become far more rational.
The U.S. has been around for almost 250 years, has never controlled by radicals and never will be.
Of course, "radical" has been purposely overused/misused, by both "sides," for a very long time. For example, for all of my life I'm sure that there have been plenty of liberals willing to label anyone against, say, abortion, or affirmative action (like me), as "radical right." I MIGHT be stretching this, and one could argue around the margins, but you get the idea. Conservatives did the same thing.
But, of course, the Trumpers have taken it to a whole other, thoroughly immature and dishonest, level. Current definition of a "radical" according to the Trumpers: Anyone who agrees with pretty much ANY D position. Take, for example, that long-serving CRAZY radical Joe Biden. Impressive.
Great to hear !!! We will find out about Barr's cover up of Trump 9 or 10 counts of Obstruction of Justice cited in the Mueller Report. We also will soon hear about Trump's Russian sex tapes that Putin held over the "fat man" for 4 years ! Always remember Helsinki !!!
Did you guys hear the good news?!?! The Donald is BACK online like a muthafuh!
