During the interview on Fox News, host Harris Faulkner noted that “nearly 71 million Americans” voted for Trump.”

“They believed in him,” she insisted. “And they still want him to prevail legally. However that can happen, we don’t know. But we’re following the story obviously. What do you say to them? How do you reach those people because when I hear you saying that Biden is not going to listen to the far left, I know from my own reporting with people that that’s a sigh of relief because he’s going to be the president, not [Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez] or some of the others. But what’s your message to all of those Trump supporters?”

...

“I hear all of that,” Faulkner said dismissively. “And I understand it. But we are at such a tender point in our country, I thought that there might have been a thank you to those 71 million voters who engaged at the rate that they did. Because it is impressive no matter which man would walk away with the presidency to bring us all together might have been there.”

Oh my, what delicate feelings the fuck-your-feelings crowd has. You don't give them attention for 1 DAY and they start crying like little babies.



Can you even imagine a country where the voices and opinions of white republican voters do NOT get special consideration? That would be insanity!!!

[Ferrets are Cool]

1. Fuck their feelings.

Feels so good to be able to throw that back at them.

[Baltimike]

15. this. We have a mandate. Fuck them. nt

[Binkie The Clown]

2. You mean like Trumpers were extra nice to Dems? I think not.

We already have major media outlets bending to the right to avoid being seen as anti-conservative. As long as those on the right act like spoiled brats who must always have their own way, there's no point in "being nice" to them.

[In It to Win It]

3. LOCK! THEM! UP!

[unblock]

4. It's customary for the victors to demand the vanquished bow their heads in defeat

And show their allegiance to the new leader.

But in the fox bubble, it's the winner who must bow to the losers. Unless republicans win, of course, in which case they should talk about locking us up....

24. The Vikings apparently did show mercy on their defeated enemies.

From Led Zeppelins The Immgrant (Viking) song.

"...
So now you'd better stop and rebuild all your ruins
For peace and trust can win the day despite of all your losing
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
Ahh, ah
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh"

[treestar]

5. And were they saying that about Donnie when he won without

the popular vote? That's the type of President who should be conciliatory to the opposition.

[Butterflylady]

6. This......

[Blue Owl]

7. Kick 'em while they're down

Those miserable fucks can stew in their own filth

[still_one]

8. we will be just as nice as they were to us

JACKASSES

[Dawson Leery]

9. Deplorables need to be kicked while they are down.

It is the only way they may learn something.

[OnDoutside]

23. Well said.

[Girard442]

10. These are the people who took a serious run at our democracy.

What kind of idiots would we be if we gave them another chance?

[Cobalt Indigo]

11. Can I get

a "Fuck that!" from the audience???

[Freethinker65]

12. Nope. But Biden is not a lying vindictive self dealing narcissistic asshole.

Biden will be civil. Biden will say that's "malarkey" instead of "bullshit" or "a fucking lie". To me that counts as being extra nice.

[Guilded Lilly]

16. I follow this line of thinking, too. He will, because he is...

a good man of sterling character, treat them well and take on their well-being as Americans. He is very serious about his responsibilities as our President. It is his duty as well as his belief to serve the citizens of his nation.

But cowtowing to them? Extra-Special treatment?
Milarky, indeed.

[MyOwnPeace]

13. So she asked:

"But what’s your message to all of those Trump supporters?”

How about a giant F-U!!!!

[stillcool]

14. it's Fox. Let them be the

rancid pool of dog turd they are. I'm so sick of the stench. Every time the word Fox pops up, I gag on it. Got to stop clicking on their bullshit.

[Wicked Blue]

17. GET OVER IT

snowflakes

[BarackTheVote]

18. Like Trump did with us?

Abandoning our cities to the ravages of Covid, saying our States should just go bankrupt, and punishing a fire-swept California because they didn’t take his advice and “rake the forests”? Nah. Do unto others, guess this is how you want us to treat you. Fortunately, while we won’t concede to your every evil whim, neither are we monsters like you are. We’ll help you out the same as any other law abiding American—you are... you ARE law abiding, aren’t you?

[KY_EnviroGuy]

19. There will be plenty of job openings for California forest sweepers.....

and testers for windmill cancer......... ....... .......

[gulliver]

20. We have to be good winners.

The Trump side understands that we think of Trump as a dangerous clown and despise him. They're probably willing to let us make fun of Trump some. They'll probably respect us more if we do it, because he's making such an ass of himself. Trump supporters won't be willing for us to make fun of them though.

A whole bunch of the other side would go along with us on what we want to do (climate change, health care, education, etc.) if we don't insult them.

[MustLoveBeagles]

21. Really?

The party of Fuck Your Feelings is having a sad and we're supposed to feel sorry for them?

Dream on.

[MagickMuffin]

22. President Elect Joe Biden DID just that in his acceptance speech

Hey Harris Faulkner, I'm sure you're smart enough to know you can actually read President Elect Joe Biden's acceptance speech online, ya know what some would call a transcript!

[orwell]

25. As President...

...you do listen to everybody. That is the job. That is what we all hated in Trump, his my way or the highway attitude.

Just because you listen to people doesn't mean you do what they say.

We all have to learn that everyone is talking to much and not listening. That is what got us here.

But it doesn't mean that facts don't matter.

It doesn't mean that mainstream news is fake.
It doesn't mean that there is no climate crisis.
It doesn't mean that the Coronavirus is a fake health conspiracy.
It doesn't mean the Russia is not interfering in our elections.
It doesn't mean that there isn't a fake facts conservative ecosystem that is exploding on digital platforms worldwide.

People with bad data can't make good arguments. If we want to have an adult conversation about facts and the way to deal with REAL political situations then so be it. What is wrong with that? Vengeance, while temporarily comforting, is not an operational political philosophy. Making real changes that affect real lives is.

I think that is exactly what we will get from President Biden and I will applaud him for it.
