    It's great that Trump is gone but it's not a time to celebrate. It's time to fix America.

    They're very divided over there and this election didn't help that at all. I think Trump stirred up the divisions with his twitter rhetoric and made things worse in that regard. He constantly riled up his supporters and it made people turn on each other. It didn't do anyone any good over there.

    There's going to be a hell of a long ride trying to undo the damage done by the divisions.

    I recognise 3 names on that list. they are really struggling if that is the best they can manage

    Which 3? I know of Alex Jones, Mike Cernovich and Scott Presler!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 38,244 ✭✭✭✭Guy:Incognito


    I recognise Jones, Cernovich I think and I reckon Nick Feuntes and Posebiec (but I could be mixing them up with similar named people, I'll have to google and check)

    I dunno, they realised the president was on the way out and they needed to start telling the truth?

    Very low turnout for the march. Time to call a halt to his messing around.

    Trump to concede by tomorrow week

    Low turnout unless you ask Kayleigh McEnany, she announced it's more than a million people. And plenty will believe her without question.

    At this stage Trump conceeding is irrelevant. He had he chance to do so gracefully and with some level of respect but he couldn't bring himself to do it.

    Biden has already stated the transition. Trump lack of concession is certainly a problem, but Biden knows how everything works so is starting from a very strong position.

    In all honesty, the media shouldn't even bother asking about it, it only serves to give Trump the impression he still has the power.

    No one cares. Biden is pretty much ignoring the tantrum, everyone else should as well.

    Eventually Trump will release that knowing is watching and simply sulk off.

    Not that many people there, didn't last very long, a few rants from the likes of Alex Jones and that seems to be about it:

    Donald Trump did not create the divisions we are seeing, but, by god, he did nothing to heal them, either, and used them to his political advantage by wedging them open with a giant metaphorical crowbar.

    He is a textbook demagogue.

    Donald Trump was a businessman.

    Then he was president

    Until one day....*record scratch*... he was voted out!

    And he's about to find out... that hanging onto power....is harder than it looks

    It's a wannabe authoritarian courtroom comedy!

    Trump is probably paying her by the lie, with a size bonus.

    McEnany looks to be taking quite a gamble. If Trumpism takes over fully, she's in a good spot as a tried and tested loyalist. If Trumpism breaks under the current strain, she's looking down the barrel of irrelevance. I mean, yes being a pundit on Newsmax or something would probably earn someone a living, but it would have to be disappointing for someone like McEnany who has a pretty formidable resumé in terms of education. Harvard, Oxford, graduating top of her class in law school. She could be a serious professional instead of coming off like a bimbo going on the news to discredit herself by robotically defending every egregious lie that Trump tells. Not only defending, in fact, but aggressively pushing the lies.

    Too late now, I think. She has to ride the ship wherever it goes. Onward to riches, or down to the bottom of the ocean.

    They are still moving along the streets of Washington .

    No businesses looted or buildings set on fire to report yet.

    Maybe the police should check how they parked their cars and kill a couple for not paying. See if they just shrug and say thats fine.

    On the contrary - pro Trump protesters are much more disciplined.

    Though their political position is completely wrong, their convictions are not without merit. Their behaviour on the streets will be much better. They are pro-police, and a large proportion of ex military; and so will be well intentioned, disillusioned by decades of partisanship rather than being stereotypical rednecks.
    The conservative values are to treasure their country - smashing the place up is much more the liberals' style.

    I watched an example of a police interaction today which showed the MAGA supporters stopping en masse to let a number of cops cross the street on bikes and the cops thanking them. It was all very pleasant.

    Much as I hate to admit it, the crowds who are more politically moderate and preach tolerance tend to be the ones who behave like scumbags on the street. It's the same here - the further left you go, the more violent the protests.

    Also remember Trump was endorsed by almost every police association in the US. His supporters will know that.

    I've said this before , but Biden is a "Horses for Courses" candidate.


    Is he the guy to "fix" US politics? - No
    Is he the guy that gets people excited? - No
    Is he a "change" agent? - No , but sort of yes, which I'll get to.

    But - He was the only person on the Democrat side with the requisite name recognition and the Centre/Right credentials capable of beating Trump in 2020. Any of the others simply would not have flipped those rust belt states back. Just was not going to happen.

    So , he was the man for the job at hand , beating Trump.

    Which he has delivered - His job over the next 4 years is to help the rest of the Democrat party learn how to connect better with Rural America etc.

    He is the one that can start to help to teach them that Democrats are not going to steal Guns/Religion/Christmas or whatever other ridiculous tropes are thrown out by the GOP.

    His achievement over the next four years will be to help the US understand that "Social Democrat" does not mean "Communism" or "Venezuela style government" etc.

    Wide scale availability of affordable Health-care and Education are not Communism.

    He'll have his work cut out on the guns front

    To be fair, the vast majority of those attending are white and so are treated with far less suspicion by the police and would very rarely have reason to feel under threat by the police.

    The majority of the supporters, being largely white and Christian, have had the country very much working for them since its foundation. Why would they want to destroy anything?

    What Trump really represents is a keeping of the status quo, stop those libs tring to change things to give people more equality and recognition of alternative ideas.

    And what are they so proud about? It's hardly the missing teeth, body odour and bad facial hair.
