They were not all votes for trump though. Not all 74 million just as not all 81 million were for biden.

A lot of trump's were just staunch Republicans who would have voted for whatever patsy was running and will continue to do so.

And over the next few years they'll be gravitated toward that and increasingly away from Trump, who'll become more and more irrelevant. In fact, I'd wager that a large % of those Republican only clowns will have already abandoned any support they had for him after last nights antics. It's just a pity they didn't have any kind of political integrity beforehand.

Same for the democrats, however biden probably got a.lot of anti-trump voters too, not because they're democrats or care about biden bit they're just so completely sick of Trump.

There's a hair's breadth of difference between both parties. They have more in common than anything else and are saddled to the same corporate interests. The idea that they are polar opposites is just laughable. It's especially so when one side tries to label the Democrats as a Left wing or (even more funny) Socialist entity. Biden, though, like Clinton is the conservative option within the Democratic Party, so it made it easy for some dyed in the wool Republican voters to opt out of Trump and opt in to Biden. I'd also say that there were a fair number of Republican party voters who just abstained, like Democrat voters who couldn't bring themselves to vote for Hilary in 2016.

Why there are still only 2 realistic parties is bizarre too, because even within these parties there are many factions that would have different ideas of republicanism and what it is democrats do.

The entire structure needs to be gutted and rebuilt. It's rotten to the core. What America has, in reality, is a ONE party system, that has two slightly different flavours and the pretence that each "side" is voting for a completely different set of criteria.

The liberal party , well less said about them the better.

I presume you mean the Libertarians? Which is a very different thing altogether. If they had their way, the country would be laughed backward to the 19th Century. They're every man for themselves bullshit would be an absolute disaster for the vast majority of people.

They need new parties or new ideas, some that are more centrist with a mix of left and right leaning people that are in it for the greater good and not some bull**** idea of the American dream

Not going to happen. Not in our lifetime anyway. The cartel of the Demorepublicans has too strong a grip.

My hope is, now the dragon has been vanquished, that Biden can indeed embark on a project of de-escalation and de-polarisation. I don't envy his task.

Didn't matter.

Do the right thing.

Impeach him again.

Make him the only president to be impeached twice.

I don't want Trump impeached or kicked out under the 25th Amendment for the sake of two weeks. If that happens Pence takes over and despite everything I don't trust Pence not to pardon him.

If I were prepared to stoop as low as Trump I would shout "lock him up" but unlike Trump I believe in the rule of law and due process.

The Trump family ego probably means some of them will try solo runs in 2024 hoping that the existing loons are loyal enough. It would only fracture the Rep vote and give the Democrats a very handy win.


The Republican Party is likely shagged for a while last night will be the pinnacle defining moment of Trumps Republican leadership. Theres been many moments but last night was the crown on the septic tank of his rule.

Ivanka called them “Patriots” then deleted it.
Trump Jr. is on a video with Guilfoyle before Trumps speech telling people to “do the right thing: fight!”

So unless Eric made it through this scandal unscathed there will be no Trump dynasty.

Do you think that would actually stop Ivanka or MinnieDon from trying?

The Pence/Harris presidency is going to be a disaster if they can't both get a handle on this kind of stuff early and also play a blinder for the next 4 years so Trump 2.0 doesn't happen in 2024.


You have a lot of motivated, organised disenfranchised voters who have just seen "The Swamp" turn the secret service and DC police on them (it doesn't matter that the protesters started this ****, they won't see it that way) whilst their leader told them they are patriots.


That's not going to disappear.

The what now??

I don't think Biden is acting to deescalate at the moment.

Hard words said.

I was in two minds about his comment there.

But as I consider it, I think Biden is making it crystal clear to anyone heading into Govt on the Dem side, who may be letting the clean sweep go to their head, that the job they face as an administration to unpick and address 4 years of Trump era damage, may be the most challenging task of any Government in the 250 years of the United States.

A few white nutters break into Congress and are shot dead = What did they expect

A few black nutters break into and loot shops and businesses during BLM eh "protests" and the police stand by watching = They are oppressed

Liberal logic.

If you believe police were tougher on the mob of white terrorists yesterday than BLM protesters you are completely deluded.

Even last night, NYPD were much more aggressive against small group of BLM protesters who were protesting on public sidewalks and streets than anything seen in DC where the MAGA mob attacked police and vandalised and looted the Capitol building.
