Things are getting back to normal, which is great, but something keeps gnawing at me, something in the back of my mind that I can’t quite oh yeah now I remember it’s that FUCKING REPUBLICANS TRIED TO OVERTHROW THE FUCKING GOVERNMENT.

1. Spot on. nt

2. They sure did.

At some point in the near future I am going to read my notes from that day. It will be interesting to see what I was thinking in the minute (at the end if the day which was the middle of the night). Probably nonsense

3. We really should remember that...

We really should.

4. That's it!

Traitors.

Sometimes, I really feel like I am losing my mind. I just can't believe all the shit they get away with.

6. In the future, should Democratic congress-people vote to certify the results of a presidential

election, in which the Republican candidate has clearly won?


I am no longer sure. Is it "the new normal" for the losing side to vote against certifying the results ??

And if there is any question about the election, from our point of view, then I guess we certainly should vote against certifying it...?



Personally, I think there should have been more push-back by Democrats in 2004 (regarding Ohio), and certainly in 2000...

We have been just too darned "nice" and "civil". The Republicans in congress who voted against certifying the 2020 election, and voted against a Jan 6th investigation, have given us permission to do the same against them in the future...

Especially if they attempt to overturn a presidential election by "setting aside" votes in the states, to appoint their own electors---
IMHO, there is no limit to the pushback that should be made in such an instance.

And I mean, NO limit whatsoever. Morally, the "self-defence" principles come into play in such an instance, IMHO.

Yes, I am saying what I am saying-- without actually saying it....
