Gather round my fellow Trump supporters

Oh my.

I’d just wait it out and not worry too much. The litigation about specific alleged vote issues will now proceed in courtrooms. After that finishes, if Trump loses the lawsuits and the states are certified for Biden, I believe Trump will leave (albeit sure, there will be Twitter posts) and Biden will take over on the normal presidential shift-change schedule.

One point of evidence towards this is that even prominent internet Trump supporters (eg Daily Wire folks, Crowder) are talking comfortably about how while they support Trump’s lawsuits, at the same time if the courtroom results show that Biden really did win, they will accept that and move on. They already believe it’s possible Biden won, they’re just annoyed about irregularities and want to see actual systematic investigation.

The emphasis among those on the right really does seem to be “we dislike it but obviously life goes on, God is in charge and there’s always another day.” Whereas the disposition of the left seemed to be planning to burn (even more) things down if they didn’t get their way.

For all the leftist rhetoric about Trump’s supporters being the ones to physically fear, the evidence of the last four years seems to show reality as the opposite.

I hope lawmakers have sense enough, in the future, to outlaw the calling of elections until ALL ballots are in and counted. Some will scream that this would be an infringement on free speech; I say it’s the responsible thing to do. This business of calling elections before all votes have been tabulated, and especially pulling the shenanigan the FOX decision desk pulled with Arizona, unduly influences the decisions of voters who haven’t voted yet.

They may have already made up their minds one way, then they see one side being called the “winner”, and decide “what’s the use?” and change their vote whereas they would have otherwise stuck with their original decision.

With all the power the media has, it needs to behave more responsibly.

I have lost some respect for FOX news, because they stubbornly refused to uncall Arizona, despite several hundred thousand ballots still being out and as yet uncounted, and despite the expressed wishes of many of their viewers.

It’s clear they don’t care what their viewers think.

Pre-calling an election by the media should be made illegal, with serious consequences for violations. That’s one way elections can be kept more honest.

But, I don’t hold my breath that that will ever happen, especially with this new administration coming in.

They used exit polls verified by the early ballot totals. It’s called math.

That’s just my point. They based it on EARLY ballot totals. In the case of Arizona, WAY early. This just shouldn’t be done. It’s irresponsible, and it can and does skew elections.

Fox called Arizona at 11:20 eastern. That’s only 40 minutes before the polls closed in Hawaii and an hour forty before Alaska closed polls. I’ll give you they should have waited until Alaska closed.

But, they and AP called AZ because they had good exit polls and the other networks didn’t.

It does if you think of Biden/Harris administration as shiny new vacuum watching the Crome fall off in six months!

 

[Petra202]

I heard aoc and associates are making lists to make sure people who served on Trump administration never work in politics again…

 

[Shakuhachi]

Why? It is time to act like adults again.

 

[RhodesianSon]

I don’t think you grasp the divide. To the people I know, working class people, they literally view Democrats as an enemy force. Republicans who work with them are viewed as traitors.

What army? The military takes an oath to uphold the constitution just against some type of coup, and that would be what taking the election by force would be - a third world type of coup. He woukd6be committing treason, as would all who followed him. It will not happen. I refuse to believe there’s many Trump supporters willing to commit treason for man.

 

[Shakuhachi]

That kind of thinking has to end on both sides.

 

[Vanny]

This is exactly right

 

[Vanny]

If Biden genuinely wants to unite us he better denounce that quickly

I know some who have said on social media they won’t watch Fox anymore. I’m wondering if their ratings will go down. Especially since there is Newsmax and Oann

 

[Jeanne_S]

I’m not watching Fox other than Tucker Carlson.I watch Fox business channel and now Newsmax

I’m sure this is true of many, but I am seeing Trump supporters even right here on CAF insisting Trump is the true winner and the Democrats stole the election… not sure if they will accept the results?
