Civil war over baseless horseshit election fraud claims that don't stand up to any serious legal scrutiny?
How do you know they are baseless?
What legal expertise do you possess?

Civil war over baseless horseshit election fraud claims that don't stand up to any serious legal scrutiny?
Yeah, right....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...
I've been part of the right for most of my life and I've never seen them push intolerance or urged not being understanding of competing viewpoints.
Because the narrative is being politicized by Trump to avoid admitting he lost. He is claiming victory and completely lying about the results of the election. If it was a simple matter of identifying holes and improving the elections system then that is def a bi partisan concern. We are in the middle of a very different game at the momentThey got the 96 year old lady using her dead husbands name Great catch lolThat’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.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 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.77 million people disagree with YOU....It is not his to cede....Trump should not cede this country...
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?
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.
Um no. The fact you aren't taking this seriously shows how much you truly care about the integrity of our election system.
Why is it just one side? Why can't the concern be shared by both?
Haha. All that’s come through the courts are dismissals and withdrawals because all they have are uncorroborated claims. Can you point to one court case that has any traction. Cause I can point to about 20 that have been tossed outI say your anecdotal uncorroborated claims don't count for shit in a court room trying to get to the bottom of an election rife with election fraud of all sorts.You haven’t seen evidence to disprove false narratives?! What are you talking about?! How about all the state election officials many of whom are Republican saying that there was no systemic fraud. How about Trumps own homeland security saying that this was a secure election with no evidence of tampering? What do you say to those things?
So, you see arguments everywhere?I wasn't making an argument. I was asking a question.
Arguments can come in the form of questions, dullard.
Are you being serious or was that a sarcastic post? Honest questionMeanwhile..I was getting all my news from Patriots at Twitter...but alas, I am now locked out. Can't even see inside. I COULD make another name but I dislike socks, so...now I hafta get info from parler and I'm still learning how it works which isn't much fun to me. I guess I could have Newsmax on 24/7 but that doesn't turn me on either. So..I hope you and other patriots here at USMB will keep me apprised of what's going on since other venues are fake news and I'd rather read from fellow posters NOT suffering from TDS and actually CARE that this election was rigged which could result in the same thing happening to them in the near future.
Haha. All that’s come through the courts are dismissals and withdrawals because all they have are uncorroborated claims. Can you point to one court case that has any traction. Cause I can point to about 20 that have been tossed out
I can point to a Pennsylvania decision that says the state improperly over stepped it's bounds andHaha.

Didn’t you read what I said about the violence? What else do you want me to say?Haha.

Hey shithead, this thread is about your violence against Trump supporters. re you condoning that?

Ok point to it. Show me which claims actually have enough weight behind them to be taken seriously in court and that cam actually turn this election around. I’d love to see you try and explain thisI can point to a Pennsylvania decision that says the state improperly over stepped it's bounds andHaha.

court orders, that so far have been ignored, stating election observers are not being allowed
to do their jobs properly because of democrat interference.
The election does not end today. Cases are going through state courts on their way to the
Supreme Court. You'll just have to be patient to see Biden lose. This takes time.
Half the country accepts being slaves; the other half refuse to become slaves.
I believe the latter will win in the end, but it's going to be a very ugly for quite a few years to come.

Half the country and more are waiting for a savior. Much as I believe in our President, he is not that man. What our fellow patriots do not yet and many never "get" is that only they can be their own saviors, in the end. Until such a realization goes viral, status quo and worse shall prevail.

Subjective, anecdotal accounts of individuals’ actions are devoid of merit; the acts of a tiny minority of persons are not ‘representative’ of the whole.
And neither Biden nor the Democrats are ‘responsible’ for the acts of that tiny minority of private citizens.
The thread premise is ridiculous sophistry – as idiotic as it is wrong.

I disagree. I don't believe that non-communists are waiting for a savior. Many are quite ready and able to take action on our own.

Yep, only took your Dear Leader getting rejected at the ballot box to sent you tailspinning back into your extremist hate mode.
You are using a a handful of shitheads on the left that police will deal with just fine with to contort yourself into supporting Trump's deplorable refusal to conceed election that he clearly lost. These are not actions of a patriot, these are actions of a self-absorbed despot wannabe.
"conceed"
You're funny. And if you aren't willing to dig deep to preserve the integrity of our election system, then you are nothing but ignorant and hypocritical.
Trump's people and a horde of lawyers are DESPERATELY digging as hard they could, even going so far as offering 1 million dollars for credible election fraud claim.
You know what they've got so far? Right about NOTHING. All major lawsuits they brought got quickly dismmised as frivolous and baseless.
At what point do you say ok, I've seen enough, time to deal with reality that Trump lost fair and square.
