@Demosthenes I think it says a lot if the assumption is that if liberals loose an election they might get violent to the point of killing and starting a civil war and now that the repuclicans lost there is little or no fear of them rising up in violence in the same way and starting such a war....
To me the take away from that stated truth is probably a lot different than most people would think :)
@freemo I think there was still extreme risk with Republicans losing too. The only reason I'm relaxing now is because Trump is signalling that he will let the transition occur for the good of the nation. He just as easily could have put out a call to arms and had several million people fighting for him.
To put that in perspective, the Taliban only comprises of about 10k people.
The issue isn't left-vs-right, it's a problem of growing political polarization in general.
Yea obviously any call to arms would be most effective and stand the best chance of working if it were now, not 4 years down the line when people stop caring and the liberals constant squaking about him being as bad as hitler is overshadowed by Biden whom they elected, our first segregationist president in living history. Obviously they they have lost all credibility to call one many hitler for four years and replace him with a segregationist.
That said lets not forget how george bush changed in 4 years following his presidence in the minds eyes. Liberals were crying up and down about things I agree are even legit very damning things like the patriot act and water boarding, he was the liberal's idea of hitler then. Now I see my mom and other democrats posting pictures of him and Michelle Obama being BFFs and saying how cute it is. Second he wasnt in office the whole "He is hitler" nonsense was a distant memory.
Just to be clear I dont like bush, I dont like Trump... I would never support either. But I would also be just as disgusted with myself if I supported someone like biden, more so given his nature and pat behaviors. I am far more ashamed to have Biden as a president than any president we have had in the past (though Trump would be #2 on that list after biden).
