Wait and see
Mr triumph as done amazing things I can wait a few weeks more before I decide for the fat lady to sing

I can wait and see, but that is not the same as proactively spreading misinformation to change the outcome of the election, or to cast doubt in it.

I am fine to "wait and see", I actually think it's OK for Trump to have his lawsuits if that's what he wants to do. His right. But not OK with him tweeting verifiable lies, and definitely not OK with people accepting them when they are so obvious and easy to see they are not true. THAT is my issue.

They are not even curious about the truth, they'd rather feel safe in the lies. Again, why I ask who the real snowflakes are....

why do you need to lose respect over this?

I guess if your only real connection to this person is Politics then ok.

I know people who hated the Last Jedi and say it destroyed the franchise. I disagree but ok,..plenty of other things we have in common.

Just shrug it off,.." eh,..you're crazy" ,..and get on with enjoying what you do have in common.
Unless,..as mentioned,. All you had in common was your political beliefs.

In which case,..move on,..

I'm very fortunate that all my cousins and immediate family are liberal democrat.
Our matriarch, my aunt who is almost 90 is a staunch conservative Trump supporter.
My beloved boyfriend of 10 years is a Trump supporter. We agree to disagree and
get along great.

Any Trump supporter I have issue with is casual acquaintances who get all bent out
of shape with my social media opinions and posts. One in particular is in her 60's,
she bore her first child at age 16 and the father was her mother's live in boyfriend.

So, yeah I just consider the source. Most dogged, militant Trump supporters that
I know tend to be a bit on the not quite right or there side of things. I refer to them
as "Easily Manipulated". One posted a meme insulting people on public assistance.
I decided NOT to point out that she herself has been on public assistance multiple
times in her life. Not my job to point out the obvious.

The last 4 years have truly opened my eyes to just how low democrats will go to gain power. Many Americans watched in shock and disbelief how they treated Kavanaugh and his family, the constant Russia probes even after Mueller found nothing, the violence perpetrated by looting and rioting scum, impeachment schemes, and the constantly negative and lying news outlets doing the DNC's dirty work.

I put nothing past the left. There is no bar too low for them to limbo under. I don't expect the election to be overturned, but there is definitely something in the air that smells fishier than Cannery Row on a warm summer day.

Do you have any idea how hard it has been to talk to the "Russian collusion' people for 4 years? Or feminists who believe an evil patriarchy is plotting to suppress them?

Big victory moments ago in the State of Nevada. The all Democrat County Commissioner race, on same ballot as President, just thrown out because of large scale voter discrepancy. Clark County officials do not have confidence in their own election security. Major impact!

I actually had an “ AH HAH” moment yesterday. I was driving home and NPR was broadcasting an interview with Barack Obama relating to the release of his memoir. As I listened I realized how much I miss him. When he talks, it’s not only that I agree with his perspective on many issues, but it’s the WAY the talks that reminds me of good friends I have had over the years. His thoughtful, reflective manner of speaking, his overall manner of communicating makes me feel not only like he is someone that I know, but someone I connect with. Basically, I love this guy! It hit me then, that trump’s hardcore supporters must feel the same way about him. Not only that he speaks to their beliefs but, that he “speaks their language”, someone they would actually want to hang out with. If that is true, I can understand their denial of reality. My approach to this denial is, let them deal with it on their own terms. They have until mid January to accept that regardless of their beliefs, Trump will no longer be President. But they have some time right now to support his denial.

They have the right to their opinion, so it isn't an issue.

I'm curious why you put this claim in this thread. Are you trying to provide an example of what the OP is talking about when you mention this Trump tweet that actually is light years away from the real story?
