I cannot stand idly by any longer

Sounds like you're volunteering for the job. I'm good dude, keep your hands to yourself there

I was glued to Twitter last night. Why? Not because of some cat videos or hilarious fails, no, but because of all the violence I saw in DC last night. I saw almost every video that was posted, whether of couples and parents with children or of minorities and the elderly being attacked by Joe Biden's supporters. All innocent people who came to protest a seemingly stolen election. I watched as nobody on the left condemned this behavior. I watched as law enforcement did literally nothing to stop the violence, instead, Muriel Bowser let our nation's capital become a hellhole.

So I came to one conclusion:

Trump should not cede this country over to people who stand by and allow this kind of violence to continue against innocent people with different viewpoints. If that sentiment scares you, sorry. This may amount to calling for a coup, but I know of no other peaceful way to solve America's issues (if you have any peaceful ways to bridge our seemingly hopeless divide, I'm all ears). The time for being nice and diplomatic has passed. If people like me, who believe what we believe, are going to be engaged in this kind of violent manner, then we should respond in kind. Words have failed. Actions have consequences. These are the sort of things that drive good men to do bad things.

I was an extremist ten years ago. A hard right-wing extremist. I strove to get away from the vile hatred that extremism brought, I wanted to be tolerant and understanding, yes, I have tried my damndest to remain neutral and dispassionate wherever possible. But I cannot stand idly by any longer. I cannot watch as people who hold one particular point of view are attacked and mercilessly destroyed for doing exactly that. No matter how vehemently I try to stand back and turn the other cheek, the words "fight back" and "resist" come to the surface. Those acts of violence posted on Twitter I mentioned earlier? They make my blood boil.

I don't want to be your enemy. But if you insist on treating me as one, I will be the worst enemy you can possibly imagine. I come from an era where respect is earned, not given. Don't mistake my reticence for weakness. It is for your protection. I don't care about your feelings or emotions, I have enough trouble dealing with mine. I am not incapable of exercising empathy, but I am also capable of being colder than the vacuum of space. Do not try me. Do not give me an excuse to be.

I am happy to be your friend. But I will not be disrespected or maligned. My ideas and opinions are my own. I have a right to believe what I believe. But know this: my empathy for you will stop the moment you attempt to deprive me of those things, or if you try to dehumanize me for having them. My faith in humanity at this point is gone. Gone. Don't give me another reason to justify that sentiment.

My perception has changed. I will not acknowledge Biden as our president, not because I think he stole the election, but because he will allow the same behavior we saw last night in Washington DC to spread throughout this country, while he eschews empty calls for "unity" and "healing." His condemnations of the violence will ultimately be hollow and empty.

I am not fooled. I will defy this trend. I will stand up for what I believe in.

you just declared yourself a traitor

 

[ReinyDays]

Add to that the fact that the ONLY votes found to fail the Benford Test were Joe Biden's write-ins

Oh really? ... how many degrees of freedoms did you include in your chi squared distribution? ... just the ones that provide the Benford test results you wanted ... ha ha ha ha ... I'd love to see how you were able to start with the test results you wanted, and then work backwards creating the raw data? ...

You're better than this, my friend, adding 10,000 votes to Quid Pro Joe's total would cause the checksum to be 10,000 off ... or adjust The Donald's total down 10,000 which would also screw up that Benford test ... if the Benford Test was useful in these types of matters, we would have been using it for all election these past few decades ...

We have empirical data in hand, just recount the votes ... always better than statistical gymnastics ...

You are a brainwashed functional moron. Canada already has everything any Democrat wants. Your fear-mongered to the point of idiocy.

A border wall frankenstein?

The border wall is a ridiculously expensive stupid idea. Only a good ID card will end the problem like other modern countries with this problem and like in the 2010 Democratic immigration bill. Your greedy idiot mega-rich Masters love the cheap easily bullied labor. Wake up and smell the coffee dingbat....

So what is so horrible about a living wage health care for everyone, day Care paid parental leave cheap college and training for opportunity, great infrastructure and great vacations? You people are morons oops brainwashed functional morons

They are not Joe Biden supporters, they are criminals and should be arrested, where are the cops? Trying to make Democrats look bad? Where are the community policing? God knows who they are, but BLM is not involved in this crap. Try and remember that innocent until proven guilty. Unlike everything you believe about democrats.

Trump could have ended all this violence with just a couple of policy changes for reforming the police. Like body cams on everyone and tasers for every cop, and de-escalation training. Big damn deal. But no he'd rather divide the country. Thank God he's going.

Uhm frankenstein, when you have Democrat mayor's rioting with protestors , who is the problem?

And yet the only spike in violence has been against Jews blacks gays Muslims and now Chinese. You are fearmongered to the point of idiocy. Everything you know is wrong too.... You're a total fool for Rupert f****** murdock.

FYI his kids are in charge of fox now..

Bologna. They complain about his ridiculous lies thank God period when he dies you may have to rejoin reality.....

This sure looked like a bunch of losers, who dont want anyone to voice their opinion that doesnt agree with them.. Fascist actions will end up getting actions that will come back to haunt them.

How does it feel to know you act just like those people you claim act bad?

You do know, don't you, that there's a difference between willfully and maliciously attacking someone for an opposing viewpoint and defending yourself from that same attack?

Well, you have fun stormin the castle. Let us know how it works out.
The rest of us are going to go on with our lives. In six months Trump will
be a distant memory who occasionally rage tweets but most don't pay attention to.

And he'll continue making a ton of money making speeches and writing books that most won't pay attention to, just like every president before him. Most people didn't realize that Bubba Clinton made most of his fortune doing just that, because most didn't pay any attention to him at all.

Nope ... Their lapdog in the kiddie pool up there, pledged to send troops down to help enforce the Global Democratic Order if President Trump doesn't play nice.
Seems like it was kind of a wild-side story to me, but I wouldn't put it past them ...

I mean some nit-wit from Canada coming down here and making the mistake of using Global and Order in the same phrase ...
Screw it, 30 fools from Alabama might wipe them out just as a matter of principle alone.

Just a thought here TK...is it possible you are being manipulated by the folks you follow in Twitter? I read several articles on this...no real violence some minor clashes, fault on both sides but overall the DC police were stellar.

There is no possibility of that. Unless what my eyes tell me are untruths.

Have you tried to seek out info from both sides?

That’s great to stand up for what you believe in. But why are you standing up for obvious lies? We all know the election was not stolen. We knew Trump was going to make those claims before the election even started. They aren’t even doing a good job at making a convincing case.

You say you used to be a right wing extremist... you definitely still are.

BTW. Those who were Out counter protesting the Trumpsters should go sit their asses down. Biden won. Let the losers make a fuss over their façade of a stolen election. We know it’s not going to go anywhere. No need for violence or to inflame things further.

...Trump should not cede this country...

It is not his to cede.

It belongs to The People.

The People have spoken.

Your boy is out.

Tell him to go home on January 20, 2021, at 12:00 pm EST, or the Secret Service and the US Marshals Office will remove him involuntarily.

The United States is a nation of laws.

Obey the law,

The next step is civil war. Do you really think they are willing to bring this nation to the brink?

77 million people disagree with YOU....

you lose

Hmm. How many of them are alive? How many of them voted twice? How many of them were procedurally generated within the innards of a machine?

Are you willing to bank that every vote for Biden is legitimate?

Yeah, I don't think so.

You forgot to ask ... how many of those committing fraud are Republicans?

Trump supporter arrested after requesting absentee ballot for dead mother

Wait, I thought, according to people like you there was no voter fraud, but now suddenly there is?

What exactly am I missing here?

You are missing WIDESPREAD CONSPIRACY TO COMMIT VOTER FRAUD.

Of course some dumbasses somewhere will commit small time fraud where they voted more than once.

But it's very rare and cuts both ways. Trump probably got more fraud votes that Biden because he keeps pumping his followers full of "Democrats are going to steal election!!" bullshit which ironically leads to his followers commit fraud as it gives them a rationalization for their wrongdoing.

Voting the normal way produces small amounts of fraud.
Maybe you have been in a coma but, we didn't vote the normal way this year.
Why?
Because the Democrats and the career Government people had to have a system in place to be able to commit massive voter fraud.

If you are so sure that happened then surely there is solid evidence of it, right?

So how come Trump and his people, a horde of lawyers, and a lapdog Attorney General in charge of DOJ are not able to produce any evidence of this grand criminal conspiracy in the court of law?

My take on it is you are full of shit. Am I really being unreasonable here?

Funny how those 6 states shut down at the same time with Trump leading . Then stopped counting suddenly.
Then it takes time to create a lot of phony ballots to let Biden win every state almost. Took time to program Dominion to switch votes....etc
But we shouldn't question any of these gross and dumbly handled events right?

Well, I'm pretty much a realist, unblinded by optimism or patriotism. When young, I had a family member holding office, had state reps and judges stopping by the house and have worked myself at the county and federal level, so I have a fair idea how these things work.

Democrats are a highly organized band of professional crooks deeply entrenched in all big cities. There was a really huge onus to get Trump out of office at any cost after four years of efforts failed. I really don't see Trump beating the machinery with the self-imposed built-in deadlines and his only hope is the Supreme Court, which of course, I doubt they will agree to intervene and take proactive steps to thwart a national election without VERY GOOD CAUSE, especially just after Trump forced Barrett in at the last second and shot his big mouth off on falling back on them as his last ditch hope.

Even if right, even if legal, the SCOTUS bailing out Trump in the 11th hour will only be played by the media and the Left as further proof of Trump's attacks on democracy as a would-be dictator.

Ain't gonna happen. I'm pretty certain Joe is in like a thief in the night and all of America is stuck with a guy that NO ONE wants.

JOE BIDEN: the only president in history no one actually liked or wanted, yet who got more votes than ever before in history?

Elections are about choices and Americans clearly liked and wanted Joe Biden over Trump.

And can you again explain what machinery you are talking about that could possibly prevent Trump from taking his case to the court of law or have his lapdog DOJ investigate it?
