70 million voted for Orange Hitler

This election was about democracy versus white supremacy and 70 million people voted for white supremacy.

We needed all 75 million of us to defeat white supremacy.

I have no use for "I told you so." To those of you whom I have implored to stop bashing Democrats and to vote Democratic, thank you for putting ideology aside for a greater purpose. And please, let's try to put the nonsense aside and let's work together to achieve the 99% of the policies on which we agree.

And for God's sake, let's work hard to reduce the numbers of the white supremacists. 70 million is sickening, albeit not enough to defeat us if we have our discipline.

We came way too close to losing our precious democracy. Way, way too close. We should have coalesced in 2016.

Convinced Biden was a socialist.
Once they see, he’s not going to raise their
taxes or even confiscate their property, they will realize he’s the decent man, we all see him as.
They will then add in to his popular vote in 2024.

increase unemployment/the deficit or any of the terrible socialist things they thought he did. The right-wing media bubble convinces them, doesn't matter what the reality is. Republican voters thought the economy was terrible in 2016 and fabulous the next year.

We need to continually “prime the pump” with many in the electorate.

7. 2021 taxes are going up, baked into the 2017 tax cut. Idiots will blame Biden for raising taxes.

I hope the house passes a bill to nullfiy that tax increase, make a big stink about it, drop it in McConnell's lap so *everyone knows* this is a GOP tax increase that Biden cannot do anything about for 2021 because it's too late when he takes office on Jan 20, 2021

Is the most accurate description I’ve seen yet on here. Fortunately it’s would be Orange Hitler and now never will be. Thank God.

This coming winter is going to be very hard on them as well as for many of the rest of us as the pandemic continues. I fear that many of their beliefs are about to face a horrible stress-test.
