They gave plenty of statements of caution before the election, and most of the country simply didn’t care. So now we reap what we have sown. We did this to ourselves.
Yeah I can’t even blame them. The right control everything already, including what the vast majority of Americans see.
Let’s just pretend if Democrats tried to do something similar to Jan 6. My god you would hear about it every day, 24/7 across all social media platforms, fox news, etc. The megaphone of the right is unmatched. There would be military tribunals Republicans would declare literal war on the traitorous scum.
Ultimately, at this point it boils down to a choice: either abandon the principles of democracy and cling to power, or transfer power peacefully to the next government. Biden and Harris ain’t gonna do option 1, nor should they. We should have to face the consequences of our idiotic actions. So, since they’re going to peacefully transfer power, at this point, it’s all about preserving whatever shreds of their own legacy they’ve got left. And to whinge and moan at this point would be beneath their dignity.
They lost. They’re adults. They’re bummed about it, but they’re going to keep a stiff upper lip and not degrade themselves.
