The Republican party is nearly dead on the national stage, it is retreating into a regional ineffective fringe group. That is a serious problem. Trump and people like you killed it.

If you want to save the party and affect the future direction of this country for the better look in the mirror and stop falling for those internet hoaxes that color your perception of the world. You have no idea what is really happening nor who your real friends and allies are. You just want to insult people.

@diddlydudette, did you ever read the actual explanation of the covfefe thing? It's interesting.

This is ridiculous.

You are wrong.

What will you say when (if) Dominion wins in court, proving the allegations of fraud against them were false?
The courts are as political as any other branch of government. Their word is no more valid than anyone else's. Remember that appeal to authority is a logical fallacy. I don't believe a single judge in this country would have the courage to overturn the election regardless of how much evidence there was. It would spark riots and likely civil war overnight. But we're just on the slow lane to that end now instead of the fast lane.

It appears there's a faction in the US, alarmingly large, who have the same mentality.

That NO ONE is believed, unless they agree with Trump.

No one. Not the courts, not the CDC, not the mainstream media, not the traditional republicans in office, no one.

NO ONE except Trump is to be believed. And that's terribly dangerous. And THAT is putting us in the fast lane for destruction. If every piece of information has to be filtered through one narcissist, for a significant portion of the country to believe it, we're sunk.

No, I am not stupid or arrogant enough to think in my reading articles and watching youtube videos that I have more information than the dozens upon dozens of lawsuits that were presented (and dismissed) by our legal system claiming fraud following this election.
Then perhaps it's your ignorance of the details of those dismissals, or your lack of understanding of the basics of how a case works through the legal system.

Regardless, we're done. Have a wonderful day.

Ah yes, call the other person ignorant, but then fail to actually prove anything. Much how you seem to think the law should work.

Wow. Yeah, it *IS* ridiculous.

Ok.

His quote, which you even just re-posted, is below, just above what you misquoted him as saying:

"we lost the ballot box"
"we lost at the ballot box"

Do you see the difference? Do I have to change font colors or something? Do you understand how you changed the meaning?

Jesus Christ. Yes, RIDICULOUS. Damn.

No, I don't see a difference in meaning. I see the word "at" that's different, but the meaning isn't different.

We lost the ballot box and we lost at the ballot box mean the same thing.

We lost the game, and we lost at the game mean the same thing.
