    Default We are SO screwed

    Mini Rant.

    Unless the President and Barr have something up their sleeve that we haven't seen, such as hard evidence of fraud, the Harris administration will take office in January. If you have been paying attention, the vote counting "irregularities" in Nevada, Michigan, PA, and Georgia are much more than coincidence. Way beyond unlikely, such as 100,000 "new ballots in MI that are 100% for Biden. If the Dems can get away with stealing state elections, this will likely give them the senate in 2022 since all of the seats they need to defend are considered "safe". The lawsuits need to play out, but we have already seen the dems breaking election laws in their own states. If they are comfortable with that, what is to keep them from destroying "problematic" ballots before a recount takes place - especially with republican poll watchers illegally barred from monitoring?

    We all know that if Barr/Durham don't indict anyone for the massive lawbreaking that took place for the attempted coup, that will embolden the lawbreakers to do even more lawbreaking. Some with the elections.

    Great chance of dark times ahead.

    I hear your concerns, but don't think D's are stealing it. I think the vote counting is pretty accurate and reflects the state of the country. The D's poured an enormous amount of money into the election and in lots of places it paid off just barely. Trump did a great job rallying his base but there was alot he could have done to win over undecideds and he just didn't (think stimulus bill, less crazy tweets that distracted from his economic message, etc..). I think the loss sits squarely with Trump for not reining in the chaos and just focusing on the economy and law-and-order (ie. act presidential and get off twitter, stop calling people names,..). I think the people who are really screwed are the far-left/progressives who moderate D's are blaming for such a poor showing in congress and state houses.

    Anyway, I think the 2A is safe for now since I don't think Biden will try to pack the court. The R's can avoid a ban by focusing on background checks. The people that promise to come after our AR-14's (that's a Biden reference) are the same people that want to defund the police and let mobs run wild in their cities so I an confident they won't get very far on that agenda.

    Trump (and his people) should accept the vote counts even if it means losing cause that's what happens some time. He can take credit for ushering permanent changes immigration and foreign policy for the better, economic-nationalism is here to stay in both parties, he purged his party of never-Trumper's R's who represent 30 years of incompetence, indifference, and fecklessness that created the rage that got him elected, and the federal bench is overwhelmingly conservative now. He made the R's the party of the working class (look at exit polls and see that economic concerns were issue #1 for Trump voters), and made inroads with non traditional voting groups across the board. D's are now dependent on fringe leftwing 'activists' and ultra-rich tech donors. Of course the R's might go back to their old ways but I think if they stick with populism, economic nationalism, and champion a wealth tax that bleeds the D's donor class dry then they will be on top for a generation.

    So yeah I think Trump honestly lost, but as the most consequential president in a generation he should take the loss like a man and go out with his head held high.

    Oh, the Dems are definitely stealing it. They've been working on creating loopholes and ways for them to manufacture votes for years. That's the whole reason they were pushing same-day registration, motor voter laws, bundling to allow people to drop off multiple ballots. The MSM has been complicit in covering up these machinations and even pushing the false narratives (e.g., the National Popular Vote crap in 113), ignoring clearly documented history and civics in order to support their agenda.

    The 2A is hardly safe, Biden will work more surreptitiously than trying to pack the SCOTUS -- although I expect Dems will still push to do that if they are able to steal enough seats to take the Senate. They have depended on court mandates for decades to create "laws" that they couldn't get passed legislatively.

    The MSM is going to do everything they can to make Trump look petulant so he needs to exercise some restraint in his Tweets but he should NOT blindly accept these vote counts. That was the mistake the GOP made in Minnesota in 2008, allowing Al Frank to steal the Senate seat and thereby giving the Dems the critical vote they needed to override cloture (that plus the illegal swap of a new candidate for Torricelli in NJ when it was clear the Torch would lose if his name was left on the ballot).

    Trump needs no help in that regard.

    yeah, but an account formed a year ago with its first post in this thread says otherwise....

    If allowed to stand, the whole concept of an alliance of states to put all electoral votes toward the winner of the national popular vote will lead to mob rule. There will never be another Republican president elected again. We will then be truly screwed. The shift in power will be rigged entirely in a singular direction with a guaranteed outcome. Game over.

    Here is how it is going to work out. Both senate races in Georgia will go to a runoff on Jan 5 and that is THE fork in the road for this country. One will go red for sure, and maybe both will. Might have a shot at winning one which would leave the senate tied and I guess Harris gets to be the final vote to pass whatever gun bans for Sleepy Joe to sign off on.

    This Senate race in Georgia will be for ALL the marbles, liberals winning that means you get to actually fight for your guns or give them up, you get to pay for the green new deal, you get to finance a bunch of foreigner's medical insurance, and you get to watch DC become a state with two more Liberal activist senators. Expect a push for Puerto Rico too and that will secure a blue senate until we blow this whole thing up.

    This country has not been in this precarious of a situation since the Cvil War and there seems to be only one way to solve problems when it gets that bad. If we go blue on Jan 5 and it goes further blue in 2024... Well, you can figure out the rest if you know your history.
