How can Biden heal the nation when Trump doesn’t want it healed?

I wouldn’t be surprised if Trump refuses to attend Biden’s inauguration and stages a giant rally instead.
It could go on for years, Trump keeping the nation’s attention, remaining the center of controversy and divisiveness

He’ll send firestorms of aggrieved messages to his followers – questioning Biden’s legitimacy and urging that they refuse to recognize his presidency. This will be followed by months of rallies and tweets containing even more outlandish charges: plots against Trump and America by Biden, Nancy Pelosi, “deep-state” bureaucrats, “socialists”, immigrants, Muslims, or any other of his standard foes.

It could go on for years, Trump keeping the nation’s attention, remaining the center of controversy and divisiveness, sustaining his followers in perpetual fury, titillating them with the possibility he might run again in 2024, making it harder for Biden to do any of the national healing he’s promised and the nation so desperately needs.

1. This hinges on how much media it's given. Let him fade.

6. I wish that were true, but tRumpies believe in FB and YouTube more than MSM

They are CONVINCED the election was stolen based on videos... supposedly Biden admitted it.

"YOU CAN'T FAKE THAT" my son says.

I sighed. "Of course that can be faked." Show me your source and I will fact check it.

"I don't have to show you my source. Biden is going to jail!" In my own home, the insanity continues.

3. The media will follow him,

but so will the New York Attorney General, the Manhattan District Attorney, et. al.

4. He has to bypass the blockade by going "local"

There are obviously MORE DEMS than Rethugs..... so

WE THE PEOPLE GOTTA KEEP SUPPORTING JOE SO WE CAN HELP GET THE JOB DONE.

Both House and Senate are probably close to tied which may mean a lot of DEADLOCKS, but there MAY be a way around that.

I THINK between Executive Orders and working with Governors and Mayors, he can do the all politics is LOCAL move and empower/support States and Cities to implement forward ideas and WORKS projects.

Getting success in many many places at once (WITHOUT cooperation at the FED level) will sway the people into pushing their reps to better support Federal legislation to make proper programs nationwide.

For instance: A CITY WORKS project to have people who are homeless moved into temp shelters in abandoned shopping malls with either Tiny Homes on Wheels or Shipping Container Homes that are all portable and can be moved as needed helps solve homelessness BUT ALSO set up GREEN PROJECTS (like building small solar panels) for them to work on in a CORONA safe enviornment with all the health checks essential workers get.

Daily temperature, monitor for any symptoms, tests to confirm wellness and if needed should symptoms arise. Shelter in their home, still close to work, maybe if project small enough work in home and sterilize product after.

SO 4 problems are being solved at 1 time.
* Homeless no more.
* WORK to do.
* Health screening.
* Progress on GREEN NEW DEAL.

5. This is why Trump needs to be held accountable

Not just for his financial crimes, but for the crimes he committed while in office. The human rights violations against asylum seekers, the assassination of General Soleimani, his bribery of Ukraine. We need to speak very firmly that becoming president does not place one above the law. Just because a life-long con-man gained the office of presidency thanks to dark money and international interference, that doesn’t make them immune from answering for their crimes—that’s what it means to be a country of law and order.

7. Not if the networks

carry very little, if any, of his bullshit.

8. I'm counting on Vance and NY AG James to

bring him to justice and strip away his bloviating facade of BULLSHIT. Nothing says u aren’t what u pretend to be more than a felony conviction.

9. He can only do that until be drops dead and he's not the picture of health

that's for sure. Also, before him there was Gingrich, Cheney, Lintballs, Jones, and on and on. It won't go away, but we are the majority. If we can clean up our elections, use primarily paper ballots, get rid of the electoral college and gerrymandering, we'll have much more accurate results sooner. My opinion.

10. Yeah, NO! Lock him up, problem solved. ...nt
