I mean, I agree, but I feel like this is being covered. A lot. Everywhere. We're getting what we want.

The Trump admin is like a beast that is now mortally wounded. Its going to be more vicious than ever, but, it will die soon.

It's time we start holding the media accountable, if we want the media to hold anyone accountable.
DriverIRQnotlessOrEqual
Well of course people would be mad everyone knows the GOP doesn’t have to follow rules or laws as long as it benefits only the rich

"We have to stop them from stealing the election. I know WE will steal the election."
copingcabana
Every person around Trump swore an oath to protect and defend the constitution, and yet, exactly zero times has Trump been shot in the head
hellospacemonkey
Trump has now said he and his followers are victims and need help. Wow, a lot has changed in the Republican Party.
DoomGuysCousinKenneth
Um what is your opinion of what the media are currently doing?
And have been doing extensively for the past 4 years...
byohzzrd
R's did everything possible to discredit any and all results they found unfavorable, from the day Trump won the '16 election.
sunfried
I can imagine it, mainly because she spent a good while after the 2016 election saying Russia had stolen the election.
midrealmknight
False. She conceded the election. Also, it has been proven that Russia influenced the election outcome. That’s not fraud or stealing.
It’s not something any patriot would want. That’s why MAGAs don’t mind.
Unclescam
I am genuinely curious about what it feels like to fail upwards your entire life...

I can put you in touch with a coworker of mine who openly brags about it

Trump was born rich and realized he could simply surround himself with sycophants, idiots, rubes and succeed.The GOP was the perfect sucker.

2021 is the year of accountability. It’s coming!
haveyouheardabouttheseinternetmemes
...don't hold your breath.
rosebudthesled
Coming too fucking late.
PlasticF0rk
Who is not holding them responsible? Like what media outlet are you talking about? All the main ones, outside of some on FOX, are.
Cats2cats
It’s time everybody starts acting like adults.
That is unlikely.
I can have hopes.
beasttubbs
Love conservatives patting themselves on the back for not rioting. If you truly believe the election system is rigged WHY WOULD YOU NOT RIOT
MaybeIwasOutOfTown
The media? Fuck that. The Department of Justice.
MoreAshyThanLarry
CNN is calling them liars and cheats now so...
GibsMcKormik
Local news in my area are calling them out as well.
dorkside10411
You expect the people who are calling even Fox News "too liberal" and "a tool of the enemy" to listen to CNN?
giggityguy1
How about traitors? Treasonous enemies of the people? People expect politicians to lie and cheat, this is a different animal
Raptraven
I'm just trying to imagine how much less a threat covid might have been if Hillary was president. It may not has been as bad as now.
Attritshun
Lack of accountability is how we got into this mess to start with.
theemperortodspengo
Exactly. Where are the adults?
NurgleErik
Leaking hair color on a back yard? Doing coke? Dreaming of their daughters body? Scamming Trumpanzies for donations? Spending jail time?
TheBlueMuppet
Lying.

Debt, deficits, unemployment and covid numbers are about to matter to the GOP @noon on 1/20/2021
TheMightyPIKE
Its so frustrating that it seems like no one is taking destroying American democracy seriously. Just oh there goes stupid Trump again...
filben7
73million people see it as a feature, not a bug. 100+mil dont care. 80mil are mad.
I thought they weren’t really trying to steal it, just put on a show and delay to get money for Trump to recover costs and cover debt
twisteddkarma
fdlFan
On one level, he's right, but we need to start calling GOP out on what they're actually doing: bullying & intimidating everyone else 1/
as a way of systematically destroying any legitimacy other people might have: no legitimate self-determination, certainly no legitimate 2/
right to participate in government. 3/3
lightfoot2
Sure, but people expect Republicans to commit treason. It's like we expect an outhouse to smell.

Which is part of the problem. If you expect to be stabbed you don't just shrug when the guy with a knife shows up.

Republicans are just ensuring that there will not be another Republican president elected in a long time. It's actually quite fun to watch.
only90skidswillgetthis
That pendulum will keep swinging.
BenderBendingRrrrrrodriguez
I thought that, before Nov 3rd. 70 million people are cool with basically anything as long as Rs are in charge.
Which means, with just the bare minimum of swing voters against Dems, they will be back time and again.
You're assuming we live in a society of rational people who don't have blind allegiances to some imagined tribe.
CurbYourClassWar
A lot can change in 4 years. The only thing this election has made me realize, is that there's way more hateful idiots than I thought.
If anything, this is the warmup battle for the next one. And the next candidate is gonna be 10x worse than Trump, total sociopath and
violently supported. All that hate and stupidity doesn't just go away when they lose this one.
activeracer28
I keep asking Trumpers "if the election process is so fraudulent, then how do I know Trump actually won in 2016?" They flip out everytime.
Voidkeeper
I like telling Trumpers that McConnell got a big campaign donation after blocking tougher regulations on voting machines.
TechnicolorCheeseWedge
"Mail in ballots are easy to manipulate" was the defense I got
xj4low
"They all cheat," was the answer I got last time. So it's acceptable?
SOURCECODE01
It's a good thing trumpers are stupid because if they were even moderate level intelligence their conspiracy theory would be much harder to
Shake. E.g: well the democrats were unprepared for trump to win so they didn't bother printing fake ballots until it was too late.

I usually get some variant of "only Democrats steal elections".

"your support of the "grab them by the pussy" candidate is noted. How is your mom/wife/sister/daughter doing?" usually works as well
Mehehehehehehehe
PrepareAMotherfuckerForThisShit
Incredible how someone can be a mother, wife, sister, and a daughter all at one time.
Mooshy5772
I'm confused...my mom is that. Yours probably is too....
Damn, how’d you find out?
Wombatish
Imagine trying to save yourself from fucking up by fucking up even worse. You do realize likely > a billion women do that every day, right?
Caspergirl
Yeah they retort with “Biden sniffs hair”. Even if he does, that’s somehow worse than everything else Trump did/said
WhyDontYouMakeMe
We can play one-upsmanship all day with Trump's behavior. This is my go to, "the buck stops here" right?
Grab her but?
But what?
I just laugh and ask them if they don't like soldiers that got captured.
Wahahahahahaha

iSellTeenyTinyFrogGreenBabyCoffins
To be fair, she wasn’t even fucking the President when Bill was in office
mondeca
And Hillary actually won the popular vote by 3 million, so she kind of should have been the president?
KWJester49
Unfortunately that’s not the system, and had it been at the time it’s conceivable that they could have campaigned differently
RedIronCrown
For better or worse that's not how presidents are chosen in the US.
And that's why she didn't try to sue her way in, but what's legal and what's right aren't always the same.
nclu
Definitely for worse. But guess what? We're almost past this mess https://www.nationalpopularvote.com/state-status
That only fixes a small portion of the problems with the electoral college.
Like our first-past voting system mess. I'd love for us to move on to national score vote and congressional proportional representation.
Rayxzerox
it's entirely legit to point out that the EC has only awarded the win to the loser of the popular vote 3 times, 2 are from the last 20 yrs
cedarcomb
Five times - 1824, 1876, 1888, 2000 and 2016. There's also some controversy about the 1960 results.
sorry, you are correct. 2/5 of all times, 2 of the 3 most recent presidents.
Callynd
There's no for better in that equation. The Electoral College is a trash system with zero upsides.
I agree, but it's not right to say someone should have won when they didn't according to the rules in place at the time.
