they're refusing to help with the transition because they hate america

republicans are refusing to help with the transition to biden on this pretense that there's no "apparent winner" yet.

never mind that biden won, all the media and even fox news have called it.

let's pretend for sake of argument that there was still some real ambiguity. in any event, it is true that the states that have so far officially certified the election don't add up to 270 biden electoral votes, so it's still not "official".

still, though, *even if it's not officlal yet*, and *even if there were some ambiguity*, you *still* would have to really hate america to not start the transition process.

it really, really costs virtually nothing to start some official briefings and release some small amount of funds to help in a transition, *even if you think it may not come to pass*. that is, even if the republican fantasy of donnie somehow reversing the election, it still would really cost nothing to let biden have a few briefings for a few days.

unless, of course, their goal is to try to sabotage an america president, figuring the damage done to america is outweighed. by the damage done to a democrat.


but of course, they've been doing damage to america for 4 years, so naturally they're trying to hinder a president who wants to actually make america better.
