facts are on your side, argue the facts. If the law is on your side, argue the law. If you have neither the facts or tha law on your side, pound the table, holler and throw as much dust into the air as possible!"
We are now on a jury of the American people watching the RWNJs pounding the table and screaming clouds of silliness into the air.
They have no facts to support the "big lie" or any of the other transparent nonsense they are spewing.
The law has refused to agree with their evidence-free screeds over 60 times now.
We need to Ignore them and remind ourselves and each other of the facts from which these table pounders seek to distract us:
Donald Trump has never been favored by a majority of Americans. He intentionally encouraged racism, misogyny, and religious bigotry and greenlighted violence as a way to intimidate his opponents. He made a mockery of countless laws, Constitutional provisions and customs and, when challenged, claimed the violations were his "right". He began his campaign with phony paid supporters, branded truth's "fake news" for four seemingly endless years and ended his term by inciting seditious insurrection in a flailing attempt to cling to power after Joe kicked his ass last November.
The Trump party has no intention of dealing in good faith. They are unlike any political group we've ever had to deal with and they will shamelessly lie, commit crimes and incite further coup attempts if they are not stomped on. They equate "bipartisanship" with "do it our way" and compromise with weakness. They are NOT good people.
Donald Trump LOST!
Any who persist in screaming otherwise and dutifully chanting his praise are---plain and simple---enemies of the United States of America and its democracy. The LEAST they deserve is our public scorn and ridicule.
The "Barbarians Are At The Gate", folks. They will not be turned back with half-measures.
