Trump being gone has little to do with the 75 million people who wish to preserve our Constitutional Republic and everything that America stands for, and who are against a One Party Rule forever, which democrats have stated they're ready to set up by packing the Supreme Court, changing Senate rules, adding two states and opening our borders to every poor person in the world who wants a "better life."

These people aren't going away just because Trump does. So far, democrats have no idea what real fear is. I wouldn't be so quick to gloat if I were a democrat.

This is the Republican Party 2020 platform. In its entirety. And it's a love letter to Trump, nothing else.

Quote:
RESOLUTION REGARDING THE REPUBLICAN PARTY PLATFORM
WHEREAS, The Republican National Committee (RNC) has significantly scaled back the size
and scope of the 2020 Republican National Convention in Charlotte due to strict restrictions on
gatherings and meetings, and out of concern for the safety of convention attendees and our hosts;
WHEREAS, The RNC has unanimously voted to forego the Convention Committee on Platform,
in appreciation of the fact that it did not want a small contingent of delegates formulating a new
platform without the breadth of perspectives within the ever-growing Republican movement;
WHEREAS, All platforms are snapshots of the historical contexts in which they are born, and
parties abide by their policy priorities, rather than their political rhetoric;
WHEREAS, The RNC, had the Platform Committee been able to convene in 2020, would have
undoubtedly unanimously agreed to reassert the Party’s strong support for President Donald
Trump and his Administration;
WHEREAS, The media has outrageously misrepresented the implications of the RNC not
adopting a new platform in 2020 and continues to engage in misleading advocacy for the failed
policies of the Obama-Biden Administration, rather than providing the public with unbiased
reporting of facts; and
WHEREAS, The RNC enthusiastically supports President Trump and continues to reject the
policy positions of the Obama-Biden Administration, as well as those espoused by the
Democratic National Committee today; therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the Republican Party has and will continue to enthusiastically support the
President’s America-first agenda;
RESOLVED, That the 2020 Republican National Convention will adjourn without adopting a
new platform until the 2024 Republican National Convention;
RESOLVED, That the 2020 Republican National Convention calls on the media to engage in
accurate and unbiased reporting, especially as it relates to the strong support of the RNC for
President Trump and his Administration; and
RESOLVED, That any motion to amend the 2016 Platform or to adopt a new platform, including
any motion to suspend the procedures that will allow doing so, will be ruled out of order.

We’re not going anywhere. Better add concentration camps to your state run media and big tech apparatuses.

They believe Bill Barr when he says "No Collusion" but don't believe Bill Barr when he says "No Election Fraud" and "No reason to charge Biden with anything Ukraine related."

Welcome to Trumpism. Devoid of facts and intelligence. Also devoid of money. Trump took it all from you.

Of course DJT became their Dear Leader, but someone else will come along to fill his shoes.

People who voted for DJT knew very well what kind of person he is. His terrible character flaws were apparent to everyone. But many, many people voted for him twice because he appealed to their basest feelings, making those feelings respectable.

Again and again he proved himself deficient in character and competence. But plenty of people voted for him twice. If not for the pandemic do you doubt he would have been reelected?

Even now, some worry about his ability to start a war.
I agree that people and especially elected officials shouldn't gloat.

That said, I think Mitt Romney hit the nail on the head in his speech on the Senate floor after the Capitol was breeched. Partial remarks are here:

"We gather here today due to a selfish man's injured pride. What happened here today was an insurrection incited by the President of the U.S. The best way we can show respect for the voters who were upset is by telling the the truth. That is the burden and duty of leadership. The truth is President elect Biden won the election. President Trump lost."

Full speech is here:

Trumpism like McCarthyism is couched in lies and half truths. You have to call out liars and falsehoods for what they are. Even if hurts some people's feelings. Many of these MAGA (and Q) folks are like adults who believe in Santa Claus...they are living in a complete fantasyland.

Has he?

He will be like Hilary and Abrahms, always claim it was stolen. The antithesis of accepting the result.

If you steal elections if you borrow trillions from China and gift it to other countries stuff your own pockets and leave your own people to perish you are a loser
How do you know the election was stolen? Was it because you heard it on the news or because Trump said so? Have you seen the evidence?

We’ve had an awful lot of rule by Republicans in the last forty or so years. The pendulum always swings. Don’t expect a change in the Supreme Court any time soon.

But your post sounds like a threat. To me, YOU sound afraid.

He knows because he has a brain and common sense. Having those things makes you appreciate that Joe Biden did not get 80M votes. It makes you understand that Trump had a massive lead on election night, then all the Democrat-run states stopped counting, and then when we woke up the lead was gone. Yep, it was rigged.
