Folks ... they're serious!



The Washington Post ran a piece questioning if the GOP can ever accept election results they don’t like after the 2019 elections


Quote:
Yes, the featured image is that of an anti-Trump protest after the 2016 election. Liberals went nuts in the streets. Protests, setting things on fire, and yelling into the clouds—it’s typical behavior from these people who think they’re entitled to win every election. Sorry, real America punched you in the mouth. Since 2016, there have been other Democrats who have simply refused to concede their election losses. Stacey Abrams in Georgia is a prime example, where she thinks voter suppression is what caused her to lose. It had nothing to do with her 50,000+-vote deficit to Republican Gov. Brian Kemp. And she to this day hasn’t conceded. In fact, she has declared that Democrats don’t have to concede elections anymore for reasons that are just too stupid to air out. You can read for it yourself. There’s only so much ‘woke’ nonsense that I can take. I bring this up because The Washington Post ran a piece questioning if the GOP can ever accept election results they don’t like after the 2019 elections:

One occasionally hears liberals muse that even if Trump were to lose next year, he might simply refuse to vacate the White House. This seems a highly unlikely scenario, especially since there may be nothing Trump fears more than public humiliation.
Instead, what is far more likely is that Trump would not have to be physically removed from the Oval Office, but would — starting immediately after Election Day and continuing into his post-presidential life — undertake a campaign to discredit the results.

Seems like a valid question - with an obvious answer - NO. After all, how many times has Trump (and his minions on this board) claimed that Hillary didn't actually win the popular vote?

A LOT.

And that was when the GOP WON the election (electoral vote).

I don't know anyone who feels that way. The fact is she was a flawed candidate and many disliked her so they took a chance on Trump. Don't count on all these votes for him in the next election though.

"Russia, if you are listening...." - D. Trump asking the Russians for aid in winning the election.

It is what it is.

Trump got away with it once, so he's tried again - this time with the Ukrainians. It hasn't worked out so well this time around though - and now impeachment is coming.

Yes—
But asking that of either side is a legitimate question
Look at Bevins refusing to leave w/o a recount—and the vote is not really that close
He is just claiming lots of irregularities happened when they did not
They didn’t—even the GOP head of the state senate said he needs to just accept the message and leave

GA was a hard fought govenor’s race and Abrams could have made it even worse when the results came in but she accepted the loss because to continue to fight was only proving a negative
Ask yourself if Kemp would have done that after he went to so much trouble to be in charge of the election process all the way through so HE could ensure a victory for himself...

I don’t think Trump will ever leave the WH as long as it means he might go to jail
The only way he would go is if he had an iron-clad get out of jail free card
And I think the Dems know giving him that would be the kiss of death for their party
I certainly wouldn’t vote for anyone who had a hand in that
I hated Obama for his refusal to take steps to bring Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld and other up on war crimes charges...

I think the current crop of Democratic front-runners are even worse than Hillary, and a lot of people agree with me. That should worry you.

This is absolutely Poe's law in action. Our friends on the left are to this day still throwing a temper tantrum over the last presidential election because they can't accept that they didn't get the result they wanted.
