We used to have politicians - GOP and Dem - who would face loses with some level of acceptance and dignity, voicing confidence and support for the process, even if it didn't break their way. Those were people who, for all their flaws, drew the line somewhere out of some sense of ideals for the importance of our democratic institutions.

Not so with Trump, who has zero sense of anything more important than himself. If his team wins, he crows about the validation; if his team loses, it's instant spreading of unfounded lies about "corruption" in the voting process. Sore loser and even sometimes a sore winner. And he knows he doesn't need evidence; he just needs to put the virus out there to reinfect his conspiracy-prone followers.

This is how long-term collateral damage is done to our most important democratic institutions. Thid is how distrust and division amongst the populace is sown. And you don't think this isn't the epitome of highly divisive, then you clearly don't understand even the meaning of the word.

Just another example of how this man is unworthy of his office. You can troll me with snarky responses, but you can't wash away the reality.

Like the Dems do?

Pot meet kettle.

Like Trump and Hillary arguing who is a worse person.

Before the 2016 Election, Trump called the Electorial College a rigged system.

Oh the irony.

If the democrats would stop rigging elections, that would solve the problem, at the original source.
Democrats have proven to be the most destructive force America has to deal with.
There are few things that escape their involvement that are made better. They build nothing but tension and misery.
Many examples but a recent example is Ca. They are busy burning down the state now b/c they failed on environmental policy. Anywhere there is serious unsolved problems there are democrats heavily involved and if they are so much as questioned about it they cry racism, although gender is becoming a popular replacement.

Now the OP is whining about whining as if that will solve anything. No thought of being part of any solution but never missing an opportunity to project onto the hated opposition.

I either turn the TV off or I change the channel.

It saves irritation.

Only a narcissit and attention ***** like Donald Trump can manage to find a way to make EVERYTHING about him.

Oh, the republican won?! It was all me! He won because I endorsed him! The people who voted for him were voting for me! I'm the greatest! Everybody is saying it!

Oh, the republican lost?! It's all on them! Should've had me come to a campaign rally, the people love me! You lost because I wasn't there!

"Mike Coffman......Sorry, Mike." Jesus.

Who controls all three branches of government again? Hint: it’s currently the Republicans.

You haven’t presented an ounce of evidence to back up your assertion that “the democrats [are] rigging [the] election”. As usual.

We have had to endure a collective tantrum for two years from people on the left who whined about the electoral college, about Russia, about false threats of moving to Canada, who protested, who caused a bunch of property damage...

If anything, Trump is behaving like the left has behaved in this regard.

So can we spare the whole "woe is me because I have to endure Trump" act? It means very little when giving approval of the tantrum that has persisted for the past two years.

So you're "sick of" something, therefore you start a thread on it.
