Trump's turning the coat

 Trump hails the COVID-19 vaccine as 'one of the greatest achievements of mankind' and rejects vaccine skepticism in new interview

"In her interview with Trump, Owens raised doubts about the vaccine, saying the COVID-19 death toll has still increased even as the vaccines have been made available over the past year. 

Trump firmly rejected the proposition. "No, the vaccine worked. But some people aren't taking it. The ones that get very sick and go to the hospital are the ones that don't take their vaccine.""

I wonder how different this all would have gone if trump took this seriously from the start - wore a mask, encouraged social distancing, treated this like a serious issue.

Everything would be different. But he treated Covid from the start not as an emergency but a threat to his re-election, so he minimized it, and by minimizing it he caused his supporters to reject everything that would address it; masks, vaccines, etc.

It all goes back to him and how he responded to it in those crucial first days.

He literally said to Candace Owens "I came up with a vaccine — with three vaccines — all are very, very good … in less than nine months. It was supposed to take five to 12 years.”

He wants credit, a Nobel prize, adulation, to win another election, all of the above.

All it took was for Biden to say his name in connection with the vaccine for little Donald to go all out on it. It's not like scientists were waiting for his permission to create a vaccine, they had already been working on it long before operation "warp speed". But the small man is so hungry for attention and credit that he can't help himself. Which is good here, if it helps convince skeptics to get the vaccine. It will accelerate the process of returning to normal, which will also be good for Biden and the Democrats' chances of retaining Congress. Clever move, Joe.

Trump's Handling of COVID Was Worse Than You Thought.

The worst thing trump did was downplay this and set the stage for the entire world to follow. If swift action was taken, if he didnt inject confusion and doubt, the world would be maybe in a better spot. I di think we missed a boat in a complete world lockdown for political reasons and also bc of ego etc.

So if he had handled this like a real president and put the right foot forward, wed be maybe Corona free by now. We never will know.

Trump admits he suddenly finds it 'very tough' to slam Biden after surprising vaccine comments

"Thanks to the prior administration and our scientific community, America is one of the first countries to get the vaccine," Biden said from the White House, referring to the Trump administration's vaccine effort referred to as Operation Warp Speed. "

Donald Trump has to be the easiest person in existence to manipulate.

Between his degrading brain and rampant narcissism all you have to do is complement him and he will fold to give you anything you want.

All of a sudden Trump has lost all his cards against Biden. The economy is doing better, joblessness claims are the lowest since Obama, and now Trump can't criticize Biden's handling of Covid.

Trump slips in admission of electoral defeat in new interview

"More than a year later, Donald Trump appeared to acknowledge his bitter 2020 election defeat. 

The former president made the admission while discussing his long-promised border wall in a Tuesday interview, lamenting President Biden's discontinuation of the project back in April. 

"They could have had [the wall] done in four weeks if they pursued it," Trump complained to host Gene Bailey. "We started building and we built almost 500 miles of wall, certain sections we couldn't get rights to and now we have rights." 

"And had they, had we won the election, it would almost be – it would be completed now,"

Trump added, seeming to admit the reality of his loss. "

Stop the steal was grift from the get-go.

MAGA Diehards Melt Down Over Trump’s Pro-Vax Push

"In the crisscrossed, Q-addled conspiracy world where Donald Trump is held up as America’s great savior, and covid-19 vaccines are denounced as part of a poisonous plot to control the world, the former president’s own vaccination status — Trump privately got jabbed before departing the White House — has been an inconvenient truth."

Those words are nice ways to say dumb as fuck, just admit it. So many ways to sugarcoat it, but "conspiracy theorists, Trump supporters, Q-Anon" etc. are all just nice ways of saying these people are so stupid it's actually hurting the rest of us now.

I'm not saying this to be snarky, sarcastic, or preachy. We are moving backwards as a society. More lines are drawn in the sand to divide us every day.

Trump deliberate undermine COVID-19 response

 The Trump administration made 'deliberate efforts to undermine the nation's coronavirus response for political purposes,' report finds

Trump White House made 'deliberate efforts' to undermine Covid response, report says

Trump sought to 'undermine' COVID-19 response, says panel

A new report from the House Committee on Oversight and Reform — the main investigative body of the House of Representatives — found that the Trump administration undermined the country's COVID-19 pandemic response for political purposes.

Reminder that Trump refused to allow the federal government to buy PPE because blue states were the ones being affected.

Then, the blue states had to bid against each other, driving up the prices.

Then, Trump's administration seized shipments of PPE that the blue states had paid for, didn't pay the blue states for the seized shipments, and instead sold them (making a profit) to red states that supported Trump.

Trump saw COVID as a way to hurt states that didn't vote for him. This, despite the fact that there were Republicans in all of those states and many were dying. He didn't think of himself as President of the United States of America. He was President of the Red States of America. The blue states were to be punished for the "crime" of being blue.

Also remember that back in July 2020 Trump stripped the power to collect and publish Covid figures from the CDC and put the HHS in charge after putting Trump sycophant Michael Caputo in a key position within the HHS. Data would then only be given to the CDC after the HHS had processed it.

https://www.nytimes.com/2020/07/14/us/politics/trump-cdc-coronavirus.html

It was a very obvious attempt to downplay Covid for the sake of his reputation and mess with the figures and there was a noticeable drop in reported cases after this happened. It was confirmed a couple months later when CDC employees came out saying this was exactly what had happened.

I think that's mostly been forgotten about now amongst all the other shit he did but it's way too important to let it be forgotten. The article doesn't mention it though besides saying CDC briefings were blocked. It was a lot more insidious than that really.

The thing I will never ever get over is the hysteria this man inspires in his cult to almost comical results.

I say almost, because by undermining the pandemic efforts at every step AND peddling the idea the Chinese cooked it up in a lab with malicious intent, he created a vocal minority who believes two opposing things to dangerous effect—that the virus is harmless but also very serious because the Chinese wanted to use it as a bioweapon.

And of course they fail to see the irony that if the stuff about the Chinese is really true, then 2020 was just testing the hypothesis that all it would take to make the US a footnote in world history is enough scientists with a rudimentary understanding of molecular biology to facilitate another pandemic.

2020 proved that significant and vocal minority would HELP THEM DO IT by actively undermining any efforts to stop it. And they’d do it while proudly and unironically calling everyone else pussies and puppets.

Let’s just hope whichever hostile foreign actor or terrorist group who internalized the lesson of Covid-19 doesn’t use something really horrifying like smallpox or weaponized anthrax or plague next time.

Take away politics and ridiculous red state blue state labels- America 🇺🇸 has 50 states.

Chump intentionally caused the spread of disease in America's Largest Population Cities and the World's Greatest Economic Powerhouses such as New York City- his own hometown. It was deliberate and systemic malfeasance. Sociopathic. Craven. Crass.

Why would an American president sabotage America unless he was a Russian Asset? To sabotage our 🇺🇸 economy for the benefit of the Russian oil industry - is the only true answer. There was no other reason to harm Americans. Thusly oil went to Zero dollars per barrel while trump was crying hoax - and it will be gone by last last Easter. He even "saved the day" with his matchmaker deal between Saudi Arabia and Russia- around the time he was Literally Autographing the Dow Jones in the middle of the biggest stock market crash in Capitalist Free Market History.

I could go on and on. The president's Job is to protect interstate commerce. He had #1 job.

If all he did was introduce Americans to Dr Fauci and STFU from there- he would still be president. But he was the first American president to lose jobs in America. AMERICA 🇺🇸! HE LOST TOTAL JOBS IN 🇺🇸

The problem is their plan backfired. They were happy to let people die in urban centers because these people are largely liberals comprised of a high proportion of minorites. So they put out this anti-mask/antivaxx message. Now it's the rural areas being decimated and these are largely white conservatives. For every 1,000 COVID deaths something like 600-750 are conservatives. Now Republicans can't get their voters to mask up or get vaccinated because they're considered traitors to the party if they try.

It'd be funny if it weren't so sad and believe me, it's going to get a lot worse over here.

Trump passed around PP on how to End American Democracy

Trump’s White House Passed Around a PowerPoint on How to End American Democracy

"The House Select Committee to Investigate the Jan. 6 Attack on the Capitol on Thursday released slides from a PowerPoint calling for former President Trump to declare a national security emergency in order to delay the certification of the results of the 2020 election. The presentation was referred to in an email provided to the committee by Mark Meadows, the former White House chief of staff who’s had a rough couple of weeks, to say the least.

The revelation is the latest piece of evidence that Trump and his inner circle, including his allies in Congress, were very actively and very aggressively trying to overturn the results of the election, which Trump lost handily."

"The PowerPoint presentation, which spanned 38 pages and was titled “Election fraud, Foreign Interference & Options for 6 JAN,” was part of an email sent on Jan. 5, the day before the attack on the Capitol. The email pertained to a briefing that was to be provided “on the hill.” Hugo Lowell of The Guardian tweeted slides from the presentation on Thursday detailing a conspiracy theory-laden plan for Vice President Pence to install Republican electors in states “where fraud occurred,” and for Trump to declare a national emergency and for all electronic voting to be rendered invalid, citing foreign “control” of electronic voting systems."

This was a coup attempt. That was the actual intent.

Take a look yourself.

Is there any reason the House Select Committee cant put together a one hour documentary with all of the most incriminating evidence and get all the streaming services and cable to run it? Heck, they can put it on YT for all I care, so long as we get eyes on it.

Because it seems to me that America isnt going to give a hoot about watching boring people testify, but they do love themselves a crime documentary.

As of Nov. 3rd  the problem Trump had to solve is this:  "How do I retain the presidency even though I lost the electoral college?"

Let's start by reverse engineering the problem...

How do I retain the presidency even though I lost the electoral college?

The only viable path to victory is to force a contingent election whereby congress decides who is the next president. (we've already done the math and you have the numbers to win.)

How do I force a contingent election?

At this point the only viable way is to make sure that the conditions required to certify the electoral college are not met.

How do I make sure those conditional requirements are not met?

If you can delay the certification for even 1 day then legally the conditional requirements will not have been met.

How do I delay the certification for even 1 day?

The VP is the lynch pin in to the electoral college process.  You have to keep the VP from completing the electoral college certification process on the 6th of January.

How do I keep the VP from completing the electoral college certification process on the 6th ofJanuary?

Get the VP to leave the capitol before the electoral college certification is complete.

How do I get the VP to leave the capitol before the electoral college certification is complete?

The VP has to want to leave the capitol.

How do I get the VP to want to leave the capitol?

If his life and the lives of his family were at risk he would want to leave the capitol. 

How could his life and his family's lives be put at risk?

If he and his family were in the capitol building and it came under attack their lives would be at risk.

How could the capitol building come under attack?

A protest could easily get out of hand and become a riot aimed at the capitol building.

How can I make sure there is a protest on the day of the electoral college certification at the capitol? 

Announce a rally to be scheduled on January 6th at the capitol and promote it heavily.

But Pence is my VP he's been 100% loyal to me. Even if there was a riot, why would the people attacking the capitol turn on Pence?

We would have to give the rioters a reason to turn on Pence.

How do we give the rioters a reason to turn on Pence?

Have a very publicized meeting just before Jan 6th and ask Pence to just overturn the electoral college even though the states already certified the results. All while knowing it's not within Pences constitutional powers and that he will not agree to do it. Then blame him very publicly when he actually doesn't do it. Blame him while the riot is happening even.

How do we know the protest will have enough time to turn into a riot that will cause the evacuation of Pence before the certification? 

We will call friendly republican senators during the electoral college certification and get them to object as much as possible as to delay the certification as long as possible.

How do we make sure the protest will turn into a riot?

Hold a rally before the protest and really convince the crowd that if the electoral college is successful in certifying the election the country will be destroyed and they will have been cheated out of an election. Tell them it's time to kick ass and take names. Tell them it's time for trial by combat. Tell them it's their last chance to save America.

How do we know the rioters will invade the capitol?

We would need to communicate with protest organizers in the crowd that could lead and incite the rioters.

How would we communicate with both the friendly senators and the protest leaders in the crowd?

We would have people keep in touch with protest organizers on the ground and also set up a command center where calls could be made to senators and others.

How would I keep the national guard from deploying and stopping the riot before Pence evacuates?

You would have to place people in charge at the pentagon who will delay deployment of the national guard.

That sounds like it could actually work. 

So the plan is...

Step 1. Convince a large number of supporters that mass election fraud caused the election to be stolen from them.

https://apnews.com/article/donald-trump-tweets-he-won-not-conceding-9ce22e9dc90577f7365d150c151a91c7

Step 2.Announce a rally to "Stop the Steal" scheduled on the same day at the same location where the electoral college certification is taking place. Have the rally end right before the certification begins. 

https://www.fox5dc.com/news/trump-promises-wild-protest-in-dc-on-jan-6-the-day-congress-to-count-electoral-votes

Step 3. Place leadership at the pentagon who will delay the deployment of the national guard.

https://www.npr.org/2021/03/03/973292523/dod-took-hours-to-approve-national-guard-request-during-capitol-riot-commander-s

Step 4. Before the rally, setup a communications command center at the Willard Hotel.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/investigations/willard-trump-eastman-giuliani-bannon/2021/10/23/c45bd2d4-3281-11ec-9241-aad8e48f01ff_story.html

Step 5. Right before the rally, have a meeting with Pence and ask him to ignore the electoral college results and send the election to congress. The morning of the certification before the rally send out a tweet again encouraging Pence to hand the election to trump. (knowing full well he wont do it.)

https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/white-house/trump-leans-harder-pence-flip-election-results-n1252849

Step 6. At the rally, have speakers use very violent rhetoric to really stir up the crowd and then direct them to march on the capitol.

https://www.npr.org/2021/02/10/966396848/read-trumps-jan-6-speech-a-key-part-of-impeachment-trial

Step 7. During the riot tweet that Pence "didn't have the courage to do what should have been done to protect our Country and Constitution." 

https://www.huffpost.com/entry/trump-pence-tweet-capitol-riot-impeachment-trial_n_6024b281c5b6b295bc045640

Step 8. In the command center where calls are already going out to senators to get them to object to delay certification, begin having people communicate with protest organizers on the ground to lead and incite the crowd to invade the capitol and turn on Pence. (the capitol is breached and "hang mike pence!" chants begin)

https://www.mercurynews.com/2021/01/11/capitol-assault-a-more-sinister-attack-than-first-appeared

Step 9. Watch and wait for Pence to evacuate the Capitol to escape the invading rioters calling for his death.

https://www.businessinsider.com/trump-ignored-plea-stop-capitol-rioters-kept-watching-tv-book-2021-9

Step 10. Once Pence has left the Capitol and the conditional requirements to certify the electoral college are not met, argue that legally the election has no alternative but to be declared a contingent election. Whereby congress would then have to reconvene and vote to elect the next president instead of voting to confirm the outcome of the electoral college.

https://www.findlaw.com/voting/how-u-s--elections-work/what-is-the-contingent-election-and-voting-process-.html

Trump retains the presidency.

Luckily step 10 didnt happen. It all almost did. If Pence had just evacuated Trump would be president right now. Pence literally got all the way to the car and then refused to get in. That's how close it came.

https://www.newsweek.com/mike-pence-refused-car-secret-service-capitol-riot-book-1610326

January 6th was the culmination of a premeditated plot to force the evacuation of the VP from the capitol and stop the certification of the electoral college which would then force a contingent election that would result in Trump retaining the presidency. This scenario did not play out by chance. 

The fact that trump made so many moves to ensure his desired outcome within the 64 days between losing the election on Nov 3rd and the electoral college certification on Jan 6th indicates that this was all premeditated. The decision to have the rally at the exact time and place to stop the certification. Ensuring there would be plenty of people to protest and riot. The placement of pentagon leadership to delay the national guard deployment. Giving the rioters time to achieve the desired goal. His very public meeting to ask Pence to deny the electoral college. His tweet during the riot letting everyone know Pence didn't do it so the rioters had a reason to turn on Pence. The setup of the Willard war room ahead of time for communications. The fact that Trump waited so long to do anything after the violence started. 

After Nov 3rd Trump knew there was a very limited number of ways to retain the presidency with any shred of legal legitimacy. One way would be to get the secretaries of state in battleground states to change vote tallies in Trumps favor due to unproven voter fraud and declare Trump the winner of those states. He tried that, it didn't work. Trump was then left with literally one single path to victory. Stop the certification of the electoral college and force a contingent election.

Trump knew Pence was the lynch pin in the electoral college certification process. All Trump needed was for Pence to evacuate the capitol on Jan 6th and Trump knew that and did everything in his power to make that exact thing happen. 

Trump and company put thousands of lives at risk. From civilians that were his own supporters, to law enforcement, to duly elected members of congress, to his own Vice President of the United States, all in a bid to remain in power.

Pro-Trump counties now have far higher COVID death rates

Pro-Trump counties now have far higher COVID death rates. Misinformation is to blame 

"Since May 2021, people living in counties that voted heavily for Donald Trump during the last presidential election have been nearly three times as likely to die from COVID-19 as those who live in areas that went for now-President Biden. That's according to a new analysis by NPR that examines how political polarization and misinformation are driving a significant share of the deaths in the pandemic."

I'm angry. They were trusted fucking leaders (to their constituents) and instead of leading, they pandered and killed their citizens, some of which are my family in another state. No, I don't agree with them, but I didn't want them to die because they are easily duped. This is genocide at some level, especially when you have many of these Republican leaders themselves getting the vaccines while investing in things like Regeneron, a COVID treatment, while being against vaccine mandates. Or having differing views of the vaccine depending on your audience, indicating that some of them are well aware of what would result in less deaths for their people. Do they not have some kind of obligation to not lie, when the lies result in people dying to a contagious disease? Can blue states sue red states for their policies when it caused issues in blue states, like when people in Idaho came to Washington and Oregon for medical services and started to overwhelm the hospitals there? Can people sue these political leaders as individuals, can they get jail time, will we ever get fucking justice for this disgusting display of leadership?

They went on TV amplifying these talking points when they should have been the counternarrative. It didn't negatively affect most of the leaders: they didn't die; their families didn't die; their investments went up. The poor people were the ones who died. Look at the houses with Trump flags, the vast majority need new roofs and siding, some look like they should be condemned.

And Q tells them that pushing vaccines is how the left is killing off the right - because the left knows the right won't do it solely because the left is asking them to do it.

I still find it funny that conspiracy theory believers are so adamant about rejecting the vaccine.

Because even using their logic about how the government is an evil cabal and only "sheep" do what they are told, then by their own logic the government would want to protect those sheep. Why would an evil government secretly be poisoning all their loyal sheeple followers?

Trump supporters love Trump and believe everything he says.

Trump takes credit for inventing the vaccine and getting it distributed.

Trump gets vaccinated, although tries to hide the fact.

It comes out that he is vaccinated, and he eventually encourages his followers to get vaccinated, multiple times.

His followers say no to the vaccine because the vaccine was created by Democrats, Fauci, Bill Gates, aliens, tentacle monsters, or whatever stupid conspiracy of the day is out. They think the vaccine was invented to kill, mind control, or whatever stupid conspiracy of the day is out. Keep in mind Trump said he created the vaccine.

Trump followers still love Trump and say they only trust him, except apparently on his suggestion they get the vaccine he invented, that his followers think some devious force invented to kill them.

Many more Trump supporters die because they don't listen to Trump on this one thing. They double down on dumb and continue to listen to bullshit peddlers like Joe Rogan instead of people who actually know what they're talking about, like most doctors.

Stupid is as stupid dies.

Trump broke his policy promises

 Chris Christie says Trump broke his policy promises: 'The wall isn't built. Obamacare is still there. We didn't get an infrastructure package.'

"Former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, widely viewed as a potential 2024 presidential contender, said former President Donald Trump's administration didn't deliver on its most important policy priorities.

Christie said Trump failed to build a wall on the southern US border, repeal the Affordable Care Act, and pass an infrastructure bill, despite making these promises central to his 2016 campaign. "

Hillary wasn't "locked up"

But half of Team Trump's Campaign staff was for all sorts of crimes they admitted to...

https://www.thedailybeast.com/all-of-the-trumpworld-figures-whove-been-arrested-indicted-or-jailed

Trump didn't do shit except feed the flames of division. He didn't see the 60% of Americans who disagreed with him as political opposition, he saw them as his personal enemies and, by extension, enemies of the "nation" and attacked them as such.

I would say he was ineffective but that wouldn't give him enough credit. He'll forever be the person who did the most harm to the United States of America in our history.

Biden has accomplished more than Trump in one year than he did in 4 - which is absolutely nothing except for a tax cut that saved me like $100.

He did more than nothing. He introduced the National Strategy for the COVID-19 Response and Pandemic Preparedness, he brought forward the $1.9 trillion coronavirus relief package, signed executive orders to strengthen the Obama-era Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program, end the so-called Muslim travel ban and institute a 100-day moratorium on deportations of immigrants at risk of removal, those orders also halted the construction of the fence at the border, he rejoined the Paris Climate Agreement, he cancelled the Keystone XL pipeline permits, he further deferred student loan payments with 0% interest, in an effort to prevent and combat discrimination on the basis of gender identity or sexual orientation her signed orders to repeal the Trump administration's transgender military ban and ordering every federal agency to review racial and gender equality in their programs, and also signed four orders to advance fair housing, reform the incarceration system and reduce private prisons, reaffirm the U.S. government's commitment to engage in consultation with tribal governments, and fight xenophobia against Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders.

That was all done in his first week.

Trump Tried to Kill Biden with COVID-19

Trump Knowingly Had Covid in Presidential Debate

"It turns out that Trump knew he had COVID at the first presidential debate, but lied about it. And then covered it up."

You mean the one where he showed up late to avoid the "mandatory" covid test? That debate?

You mean the one where he pitched a tantrum to have the shield between candidates removed? That debate?

You mean the one where he constantly mocked and ridiculed Biden wearing a mask? That debate?

He knew in February 2020 how dangerous and contagious it was, and then lied to the country about it. We have the tapes.

Then they lied and insisted he tested positive negative in order to have masks removed and plexiglass barriers barred from the stage.

Given Biden's age group, this was effectively an attempted assassination of a political rival, live on tv.

We have motive, intent, and action. He should absolutely be in cuffs right now.

Trump May Have Infected Gold Star Families, White House Staff, Others, Per His Former Chief

"Former president Donald Trump knowingly put at risk the lives of Gold Star families, wealthy donors at a Minnesota fundraiser, then-Democratic nominee Joe Biden, White House staff, the crews of Air Force One, White House reporters, and others, according to a new book from his former chief of staff.

Trump finally admitted he had contracted COVID-19 just after midnight on Oct. 2, barely 24 hours following a campaign rally in Minnesota where he looked peaked and cut short his typically 90 minutes of rambling remarks to just 45."

For the folks who have a hard time understanding virtue... Trump knowingly had the virus. And had an event scheduled with the widows and children of deceased soldiers. And instead of enduring a MODICUM of embarrassment by announcing he was postponing the event to protect the safety of the guests. Rather than risk a SLIVER of scrutiny over his diagnosis... he kept the scheduled event with war widows and families.

You can say "he DidN'T wAnT tO disaPPOint Them!" But deep down I think you know what his motivations are. Not to mention he could have simply rescheduled them.

He is a wretched vile human being who, thank God, suffered humiliating defeat. May he soon find himself in prison as well.

There was an interview with an audience where he was directly asked when was his first positive test, and he never answered it directly even after multiple tries. Instead he squirmed and danced around the subject saying "I was feeling fine," "I can't remember," and "I did tests all the time" (I'm paraphrasing here).

It's easy to tell when he's lying. He glances at the camera, makes a fake smiling face like a joker and changes the subject.

Trump knowingly had COVID, infected gold star families and then tried to pass off the blame.

It's important to keep hammering how horrible a person Trump is because plenty of Americans are still in love with him. Trump has a serious chance in 2024.

Trump colluded with capitol rioters

 Trump called aides hours before Capitol riot to discuss how to stop Biden victory

"Hours before the deadly attack on the US Capitol this year, Donald Trump made several calls from the White House to top lieutenants at the Willard hotel in Washington and talked about ways to stop the certification of Joe Biden’s election win from taking place on 6 January.

The former president first told the lieutenants his vice-president, Mike Pence, was reluctant to go along with the plan to commandeer his largely ceremonial role at the joint session of Congress in a way that would allow Trump to retain the presidency for a second term."

People will still vote for him, even though he is unequivocally an enemy of the United States.

Not even al Qaeda has damaged the US as much as he has.

Trump killed far more Americans than Al Qaeda ever did.

Trump only made the video telling people to go home once he realized that taking over the Capitol would not reverse the election. I am sure he would have let it go on if there was a chance it would work.

If you bring this up to someone who voted for Trump they just brush it off like it's no big deal. The man begged a state to find enough votes to beat Biden. I mean just let that sink in for a second. In a country known for democracy the outgoing president is trying to literally steal an election and none of his supporters have an issue with that.

He didn't beg. He demanded from a position of power. It's even worse.

This was a coup attempt right here in the USA. It’s a coup attempt bc not only did the president try to stop the transfer of power, law enforcement was in on it, Flynn’s brother at the DoD was in on it stopping the national guard from going into the Capitol, and clearly republicans in congress were in on it. That’s police, military, the legislative branch and the executive branch. That’s literally a coup attempt. Better get the USA to go and bring that American democracy to the Americans. It’s stuff like this we have used as justification to invade other countries.
