With few exceptions, their craven public silence has helped enable Trump’s most grievous conduct—including undermining and discrediting the US the electoral system.

Well he’s certainly smart enough, he’s good enough and gosh darn it, people like him.

I think Catfish has a point. Those Democrat tribalists have literally forced Trump not to concede and the Republican Senators to circle the wagons to support Trump’s entirely rational claims.

Trump is not a deranged narcissist and it is literally impossible for Republicans to be racists and hypocrites, because Jesus says they’re not.

The American Revolution was all about the rights of Englishmen. And what were Englishmen? White, of course. The founders of the republic didn’t say that the President had to be a white male because it was so obvious to them that they didn’t need to. It was just an oversight. Obama and Harris are abominations. There’s nothing racist or sexist about this. All Republicans realize that it’s just common sense.

Our rights do not come from the government or even from the constitution. Our rights come from God. White people have the right to elect the President and Trump won the majority of the white vote. It used to be that voter suppression, gerrymandering, and the electoral college were sufficient to protect our rights. Now that it appears that even the electoral college is no longer enough to hold back the tide of tribalism and mob rule, we will just have to circle the wagons, abandon democracy, and have a dictatorship, or at least a white nationalist republic like South Africa before the end of apartheid.

The last time a Dem (crappy or otherwise) refused to concede even as he or she lost 33 times and counting in the courts of at least five states.

But of course: Trump's not getting excoriated in public by party elites, is he?

And: let's ask the former Senator Al Franken if he has any thoughts on the subject.

Look, ya provocative little asswïpe (sorry, Dewey; Allan stole your title). I didn't ask Dewey to become my personal research assistant/gofer as you're wont to do, a ploy that you obviously use as a way to bring discussion to a screeching halt -- and with great success, I might add.

How simple it is to provoke the reactions I want.

Easy peasy.

Took me a while, but I've finally managed to cope with the posters here who claim they hate Trump but in fact idolise him, faithfully following his unsuportable-allegation ritual.
