Think of what was happening just one week ago...

we were deep into the drama, many of us just beginning to watch what would be a very long night...then long days.

Then good news, a Biden win, joy.

And then the orange asshole started his hissy fit - aided and abetted by his sycophants - how I am feeling tonight is described in this song. (and with Joe and Kamala we must get it back)

It is mind-boggling that people think this is somehow out of character for Trump.

Someone called it "election amnesia" which is a perfect descriptor. Biden won and everyone forgot that this is the same kind of nonsense that Trump has been pulling every day of his presidency.

Seriously, it's like we lost our collective minds as soon as the race was called. People really thought Trump would go quietly and concede? lol, no. That would be so far out of character that I'd think he was replaced, like in the movie "Dave".

The main issue, to me, isn't him. It is what he is doing to froth up his cult - they are the ones that pose dangers to the rest of us.

so willing to go along with Trump. I always forget that Trump needs a loyalty pledge and it's showing now. I just thought people would hold their own reputation in higher regards and dump Trump. But it just never happened.

Trump throwing a hissy fit isn't out of character, it's the others that are so willing to go along with it that's disturbing and dangerous.
