    And you voting to make it worse helps so much more than that person protesting or posting about how fucked up you guys are.

      I’m just guessing here but I’d wager a huge percentage of the Republicans that voted Trump used to be Democrats. I myself was once.

      The party left the people. And the people went were they felt they belonged. In the end, the votes tell the truth. How do you square that with your ideology?

      Honest question. No hard feelings here.

        Yeah, I don’t believe Trump is a legitimate president. I don’t believe the numbers reported are accurate, and I don’t believe less than a quarter of voting age people should be able to have elected someone that literally has multiple people throwing Nazi salutes up at their rallies. Hard feelings here. Fuck you, and all Trump sycophants. You all can eat shit.

        And for the record, I ALSO don’t believe your “I myself was once” bullshit.

          I was a Democrat too. Your refusal to believe is part of why your party has lost power.

          Your blindness only flies in your own echo chambers.

          The downvotes I’ll receive only drive the point home that you do not value information you don’t like, and that is your biggest political weakness.

          You never would believe or accept any Republican winning on merrit and that the country agrees with him.

          Be honest.

          There is no reality that exists where a Republican wins an election fairly, that you’d believe is legitimate.

          Ever.

          As long as their values don’t align with your own, it will never be a legitimate win in your eyes and was rigged.

          I can’t exactly fault you for feeling this way, to be fair.

          I’m only asking you to be honest.

          And frankly, Idgf if you don’t think I used to be a Dem. That only shows your shortsightedness. At some point, and we’re all waiting -

          You will realize your values are not the majorities. And you will absolutely have to come to terms with that.

            I have accepted every other presidency in my life without question of legitimacy, even if the methods to do so with Bush were dubious at best. That includes Trump’s first term.

            I’m only asking you to be honest.

            No, you’re asking me to treat you like you’re worth respect. Unfortunately, you are not. Fuck yourself.

              So what’s different about this election, that makes you think it was rigged somehow, when all the other ones weren’t?
