    America comes together to let that person lead until the next election, this is how America is supposed to work

    After 4 years straight of former-President Trump actively campaigning on a platform built exclusively on vilifying the sitting President, it’s time for unity ya’ll.

    The Republican party may have transitioned its entire platform into “fuck the democrats” and actively supported an insurrection but now that they’re in power again we gotta stand together behind the convicted fascist, because apparently that’s how democracy works.

    Democracy is dead in this country. Don’t believe me? Strange. How odd that elections are rigged when Republicans lose, but democracy is alive and well when they win.

      I never thought the election was rigged. Political rivals talking shit about eachother isn’t anything new. I’m not sure exactly what you are crying about but the election is over.

        Oh, okay. Political rivals talking shit. That’s what happened on January 6th.

        Just the President that you want everyone to support, talking so much shit that people died. You didn’t think it was rigged, but you want everyone to support the man who spent 4 years calling it rigged, constantly saying that democracy is dead and only he could “fix” it. The same man who personally sent his supporters to “fight like hell” and assault police and threaten congress to “fix” it.

        It’s so funny how people like you are so willing to support things you disagree with.

          I think everyone should support whomever wins the election as that is the will of the people. That is how democracy works. Whoever wins in 2028 I will do my part to support, that is my responsibility as a citizen that supports democracy.

            Right, and when the President commits crimes, attempts to overthrow his own elections, and says “you won’t need to vote anymore” that’s still democracy working as designed. Totally responsible to support that. For democracy.

              Yes. America chose him. He won the election. The citizens selected Trump. The voice of democracy has spoken.

                  Time will reveal the consequences of our choices. I’m not a huge Trump supporter but he was elected before and eventhough everyone said America would never survive we are still here and doing well.

                    we are still here and doing well.

                    Not all of us are still here. Some are in El Salvador. Some are dead. The economy, the rule of law, the checks and balances… we are not doing well.

                    Fuck off.
