Elections have consequences.

Still take care of those who may be ignorant or may be assholes like they were your own asshole brother.
But that doesnt mean we have to be friends with them, pander to them, or ask their opinion about anything.

When they apologize, we'll start a discussion. If no apology, I consider myself still to be their enemy. I don't play nice with the enemy.

(1,751 posts)They didn't try to unite the country. They didn't try to stop fascism. They completely enabled every disgusting repuke talking point and gave it air time. You know what they're not saying? That more goddamn fucking repukes voted for the lazy lying steaming pile hump than voted for him in 2016. That a greater percentage of repukes voted for the lazy lying steaming pile Hump than voted for him in 2016. Just like 2016 was mandate then SO IS THIS!!!!
Go to hell MSM. You waited far longer to call this election than you should have. You have immediately started with bothsiderism even before the election was called. Support the winners and tell the racist fascist wannabe losers that they lost.
Now let's get to work b/c 2022 is just around the corner. This was a GOTV election so let's fucking go.

(24,761 posts)We don't have to be nice to Trumpanzees because they brought up on the brink of fascism. Thank God the majority of us told Trump to take a hike!
They owe us an apology--and amends--for demonizing us, for stereotyping us, for treating us like enemies instead of their fellow Americans, for threatening the very existence of America with Russian-led fascism and neo-fascist propaganda, etc. They have no right to demand deference for their criminal antics.

(23,208 posts)They don't have to come all the way over to our side, but they have to renounce the fascistic ideas and actions of their cult leader and his quisling enablers. When they come back to democratic ideals and values, THEN we'll talk.

(868 posts)Democracy and all those that support it. Threatening death
in order to advance their "agenda", in another ACT of WAR
which, and has been their clarion call since FDR.
To forgive the insanity they promoted by their unvarnished
hatred has become impossible absent being held accountable.
Before forgiveness is offered, they, the REPUBLICANS must,
before the court, an acceptable and thorough allocution
delineating each and every CRIME they committed over
the last 4 years, at least, before even considering any
leniency, whatsoever.
This would set the standard for America's continued Democratic
Government for the future.

(6,204 posts)us to help heal the country by being nice? For me, I like the response of elections have consequences and will use it until the day after inauguration day. Then I will focus on healing but not until after a few months of celebrating this win.
TDale313
(7,820 posts)And allowing the other side to set the agenda even when we win elections. Im not saying be an asshole... Im saying we need to fight for progressive policies and legislative advances. Make our case... proudly.
