The 2020 general election inspired record turnout, even amid a pandemic. The Democratic ticket prevailed for the presidency. Republicans gained House seats and state legislature majorities. You win some, you lose some, and that’s democracy for you.
If you don't get over it and spend the next 4 years looking backwards, you will waste that significant advantage.
Nobody likes a losing whiner and 78 million Americans voted against Trump.
So there are two Senate seats at stake in Georgia but folks are being asked to donate to a legal defense fund that is being used to settle campaign debts.
Remember the Stable Geniuses own words
"I supported him. He lost. He let us down...
So I never liked him much after that, because I don't like losers."

do you seriously not see any irony in that statement, given how democrats acted for the last 4 years?
i happen to agree with your notion, it’s just absurd that for 4 years all you did was “not get over”. the 2016 election.
so it’s ok when liberals throw a temper tantrum, but republicans should suck it up?

The last 4 years had nothing really do to with Clinton loosing, it was about Trump's policies and behavior in office. |

Jim so in conservative circles the new mantra is who is the media to pick the president. Even though they did the same thing for Trump in 16
But now it’s their responsibility to champion what you think were his policy’s that were productive .
News flash it’s an Americans responsibility as an individual to seek out information from more than 1 source, not see Facebook tweets or tic tok hannity Ingram tucker lemon cuomo maddow as news being lazy isn’t an excuse being gullible isn’t an excuse for being un informed , when you have a world of information in your phone

Ditto what Eben said, if he hadn’t spent 4 years trolling the entire country you’d have a point here... but that’s not the case

Correct me if I'm wrong, but "trolling" is intentionally so. Do you honestly believe that Trump was trying to "troll"? |

Tweety cares about nothing other than himself, as demonstrated in his behavior since the election.
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution puts its editorial above the banner today:
"Sens. Loeffler and Perdue have assaulted Georgia's election system" |
