> then there is something seriously wrong with our political system. There's something seriously wrong with the far left. I've seen several articles and interviews now where the leftists can't believe that someone can hold a different view than theirs and vote for Trump. It's as if only they hold the absolute truth, and everyone else is the manifestation of evil. It's quite ridiculous. We haven't seen any protests or…

Both left and right are becoming more partisan and more unable to form any sort of consensus or compromise. I think that's the real issue, when the goal of each side is only to crush their opponent.

I don't disagree. However, it's ironic that we're seeing Nazi/Fascist approaches taken by the left, who claim they're anti-fascist. I haven't seen that from the right so far.

Correct. Cancel culture is destructive and toxic. The goal is to set loose the SJW mobs after those individuals. Ironic that they don't see that this very similar to what was done to the Jews in Nazi Germany. They don't see it in the midst of their virtue signaling destructive behavior.

This is far right talking point nonsense. Get a grip, or bring it to Facebook. This is not the place for this.

Notice how you didn't answer the question that they're doing the same as the Nazis, and try to dilute the discussion by saying to take it to FB (which I don't use). Just exposing the hypocrisies of the far left. Seems some people can't comprehend it.

Elections have consequences.

If "consequences" = "documenting and punishing millions of people for expressing different political opinions" then there is something seriously wrong with our political system. Over 70 million people voted for Trump. If you hand-wave away his popularity and call all of them bigoted, then you are part of the partisan problem in our country.

No one said anything about punishments (except you). I don’t know if she is talking about citizens or public officials, but I think we should remember the public officials who helped trump’s attempt to destroy our democracy. They shouldn’t be allowed to naysay their support for him.

The GOP actively sought, across the country, to handicap or prevent mail and absentee voting to suppress votes that typically fall to Democrats. The president tweeted about unproven voter fraud and to stop counting votes. If that isn’t attempts at brazen voter suppression, I don’t know what is. Democracy was stress tested, and it still worked.

There have been serious irregularities that suggest voter fraud in Democrat controlled precincts within swing states.

If you are talking about the “fraud” donnie diaper keeps making up then I’d hate to tell you that they have been fact checked and proven wrong.

The Trump Accountability Project is what I was referring to.

Even the Trump campaign said their base of old, white voters were dying off [1]. In another 4 years, another 7.3 million older voters (typically conservative voters) will have aged out. The country will continue to turn blue [2]. Democrats still have a lot of work to do on messaging. This was high tide for conservative votes.

Not necessarily. Note that minority votes for Trump increased (even among blacks) in the 2020 election: https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/here-are-the-voter-d... The Democrats really need to get on the ball and start listening to the public.

Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) warned that President Trump should not concede defeat in the 2020 presidential election in part because Republicans will "never" be able to elect another president from their party again.

"If Republicans don't challenge and change the U.S. election system, there will never be another Republican president elected again," Graham said Sunday on Fox News. "President Trump should not concede. We're down to less — 10,000 votes in Georgia. He's going to win North Carolina. We have gone from 93,000 votes to less than 20,000 votes in Arizona, where more — more votes to be counted."
