Related: Editorials & Other Articles, Issue Forums, Alliance Forums, Region ForumsRepublicans want all Americans to unite behind Donald Trump...
... and his agenda.
How insane is that?
We should all unite behind his lies and his vulgarity? We should all unite behind his immorality and lack of principles? We should all unite behind his criminal activities? We should all unite behind his dictatorial desires?
In effect, they are asking America to "unite" behind his division? It is an impossible task.
Many folks can never accept the fraudulent criminal with his fake Christian values

Of course, America's Super Secretary Elon Musk will verify and approve the final vote tally, personally.

(19,520 posts)..... he can be the defacto shadow President. Unelected but never the less signuficantly still very much in charge and calling the shots.
Like the Wizard of Oz, Eloon the man behind the curtain manipulating all the switch, dials, and levers to make the U S government function to his best advantages. So then he can plunder, pilfer, and profit from the vast resources of the U S Treasury to his best self enrichments.

(37,182 posts)Those who do will be punished. One of the primary reasons why Hillary Clinton lost both the 2008 Democratic nomination and 2016 presidency is due to her vote for the Iraq War. Do not go along with their program or else you will be complicit.

(19,520 posts)djt helped during the transition before, during, and after Biden's inauguration.
Fuck no djt did not lift a finger.
■○■○■○■○
djt greeted Busen and welcomed the family to the White House during transition of power.
Hell no,... djt locked the front door of the White House with no one to greet and welcome them.
■○■○■○■○
djt attended the inauguration of the new President Biden and wished him well.
Fuck no.
djt was nowhere to be found on Biden's inauguration day. Just before the official inauguration djt hopped on Air Force One and headed to his beach resort called Mara Lago.
■○■○■○
The concept of a smooth transition of governmental powers was tossed into a burning dumpster by djt. Because his ego would not allow or permit the fact that he lost a free and fair election.
One of the main pillars of American Democracy instills that we have a smooth transition of power from one administration to the next. DJT tossed this concept into that same burning dumpster and made a mockery out of healthy functional government.
If things do not go 100% djt's way,... he will burn it all to the ground - into a heap of burning embers and ashes.

(313 posts)My wife, my son, and I attended an anti-Trump rally on President's Day in Chicago way back in 2017. The theme, among many, was "Not my president," and that is even more true today. Get behind the guy JD Vance called "America's Hitler"? I think not. Every Democrat, every decent human being should do all we can to make it clear Trump is NOT our dictator, and we will do whatever we can to oppose his agenda.

(3,235 posts)...his speech about how "God spared my life" (e.g. his minor shrapnel wound) and "I'm going to restore American greatness". That's as delusional as it gets--with the possible exception of Trump's followers, who might be even more demented than he is.

(5,331 posts)Republicans wouldn't even unite around Biden but are asking us to unite around a twice impeached convicted felon who calls more than half of America vermin that need to be eradicated and the enemy within. They're fucking delusional for even asking. Trump is a criminal who will never stop violating the law and, unlike republicans, that's not something we should ever unite around.

Not about to help with that, but theyre welcome to hold their collective breath waiting.
There are two Americas now. And I would be fine with my blue state seceding from the idiocracy, but Im not making nice with those authoritarians or the chumps who helped them take power.
