The assumption that there wasn’t a level of cheating and interference in that election is doing a lot of heavy lifting. Both sides have been playing the game of gerrymandering and creating districts in their favor when it suits them and they have the power to do so, conservatives just played it better and now have control of enough courts to legalize it or drag out the fight until the election comes and goes and the fight is irrelevant.
I firmly believe that his “stolen election” complaint is because he cheated but it wasn’t enough, they “stole” his rigged win. Now they’re consolidating power, tweaking maps, voter suppression, creating barriers to voting, who the fuck knows how secure our machines even are at this point. The next election is a test of how successful their new tactics are, because when he runs illegally for a third term they want to be damn sure the ability to steal a win is foolproof. When he runs it’ll get challenged, it’ll get drawn out, he’ll keep running, his system will hand him what looks like a huge win, he’ll declare it’s a mandate from the people.
They weren’t protests- they were parades. They had fucking live music and barbecue grills. Social media posts talking about how much “fun” they had protesting.
Every time I hear someone suggest protesting I have to assume they’re a liberal. Which means they oppose leftists at every opportunity, oppose any acts of violence like the killing of Brian Thompson, explain the pragmatism of blocking the rail strike in 2022 and defend Biden for going around congress twice to ship weapons to Israel and preventing a legitimate primary from being run in 2024.
The short of it being, liberals oppose any kind of disruption so what exactly do they believe protests are supposed to accomplish?
For American liberals, protesting isn’t the means, it’s the end.
It’s their opportunity to telegraph to everyone that they’re “on the right side.” Accomplishing that and easing their guilt for doing fuck-all are the only outcomes they give a shit about.
It’s happening and Americans are either complicit or powerless to do anything about it.
They had a chance in November 2024. They wasted it.
America is complicit.

A chance for what exactly?
They’re not powerless. They could’ve had more than 3 protests in the past 16 months before giving up.
They weren’t protests- they were parades. They had fucking live music and barbecue grills. Social media posts talking about how much “fun” they had protesting.
An absolute joke.

That’s the thing- they don’t.

I agree. Though I’m not sure why I’m getting more down votes than you.
Also a little frustrating when people leave the down vote but say nothing.
