Writing in a Facebook post early in the morning on Tuesday, Chase said Biden is not my president and never will be, while linking to a New York Times story detailing how the Electoral College had certified Bidens election victory.
She echoed Trumps unsubstantiated claim that Biden had cheated to win and said she and many other Americans will never accept these results.
Fair elections we can accept but cheating to win; never. Its not over yet. So thankful President Trump has a backbone and refuses to concede. President Trump should declare martial law as recommended by General Flynn," Chase wrote.

(4,889 posts)At least, since the Great Depression. Reagan won because so many didn't vote. They win because of what the majority party does not do. To paraphrase Trump, If everybody voted the Repugs wouldn't stand a chance in hell.

(14,573 posts)affect them, and voted knowledgeably, the Republicans wouldn't stand a chance in hell.
I firmly think, of the 74 million votes Trump got, about 34 million were from people who do not pay attention to what is going on in DC anyway, and merely vote, if they do, like they always have. Educate these people and the Republicans will never win another election.
Do away with voter suppression, and the South will go blue.
About 40 million Americans are actually white supremacists, though. They will always vote based on hate and fear, and will continue to fight to preserve that old white caste system.

(13,989 posts)Id say about half of Trumps voters are the true deplorables, aka racist misogynists who vote based on their hatred. The other half are Republicans who dont pay attention, like you said, and vote based on their party. I believe that second group is reachable.

(14,573 posts)At this point, 296,000 Americans have died from a pandemic Donald Trump FAILED to contain.
During the last civil war in this republic, 618,000 Americans died. The white supremacists LOST.
If Trump takes these steps, there may be a second civil war. If that happens, the white supremacists will LOSE again.

(12,586 posts)1. What are the conditions that must exist for the pandemic to be declared over?
a. Who defines those conditions?
2. Who decides whether those conditions are met?
Basically, it's total unending immunity for all healthcare CEOs and companies, or someone who can tangentially describe themselves as a healthcare-related company, from lawsuits, with the power to sue anyone who tries to hold the CEOS and corporations responsible.
In other words, it's a license to kill.

(28,466 posts)However, believing and acting on the delusion that everyone from poll watchers to the SCOTUS has been compromised to pwn Trump, and thus the election should be invalidated IS insurrection. Projection is all these assholes have.

(9,729 posts)I think the wisdom of the voters has somewhat diminished since Horace's tragedy.
Horace, The Mule: The following is a story by the late Edmond Harding of Washington, NC, and has been reprinted in several publications.
Mrs. George Wood, now deceased, of Chowan County, had a mule who was named Horace. One evening she called Dr. Satterfield in Edenton and said to him, "Doctor, Horace is sick, and I wish you would come and take a look at him". Dr. Satterfield said, "Oh, Fannie Lamb, it's after six o'clock and I'm eating supper. Give him a dose of mineral oil, and if he isn't better in the morning, phone me, and I'll come and take a look at him".
"How will I give it to him" she inquired. "Through a funnel". "But he may bite me", she protested. "Oh, Fannie Lamb --- you're a farm woman and you ought to know about these things. Give it to him in the other end". So Fannie Lamb went out to the barn, and there stood Horace, with his head held down, moaning and groaning.
She looked around for a funnel but the nearest thing she could see was her Uncle Bill's fox hunting horn hanging on the wall. A beautiful gold-plated instrument with gold tassels hanging on it. She took the horn and affixed it properly, Horace paid no attention. Then she reached up on the shelf where medicines for the animals were kept, but instead of picking up the bottle of mineral oil, she picked up a bottle of turpentine, and she poured a liberal dose into the horn.
Horace raised his head with a sudden jerk. He let out a yell that could be heard a mile away. He reared up on his hind legs, brought his front legs down, knocked out the side of the barn, jumped a five foot fence, and started down the road at a mad gallop. Now Horace was in pain, so every few jumps he made, the horn would blow.
All the dogs in the neighborhood knew that when the horn was blowing, it meant that Uncle Bill was going fox hunting, so out on the highway they went, close behind Horace. It was a marvelous sight. First, Horace--- running at top speed, the hunting horn in a most unusual position, the mellow notes issuing therefrom, the tassels waving and the dogs barking joyously.
They passed the home of Old Man Harvey Hogan, who was sitting on his front porch. He hadn't drawn a sober breath in 15 years, and he gazed in fascinated amazement at the sight that unfolded itself before his eyes. He couldn't believe what he was seeing. Incidentally, he is now head man in Alcoholics Anonymous in the Albermarle section of the state.
By this time , it was good and dark. Horace and the dogs were approaching the Inland Waterway, The bridge tender heard the horn blowing and figured a boat was approaching, so he hurriedly ran out and uncranked the bridge. Horace went overboard and was drowned. The dogs also went into the water but they swam out without too much difficulty'
Now it so happened that the bridge tender was running for sheriff of Chowan County, but he managed to poll only several votes. The people figured that a man who didn't know the difference between a mule with a horn up his rear and a boat coming down the Inland Waterway, wasn't fit for any public office in Chowan County.

(11,085 posts)The dogs are the MAGAts. The state senator is the boat tender who didn't know a boat from from an ass blowing a horn. The lady who poured turpentine in the ass horn instead of mineral oil would be . . . um, maybe Tucker Carlson? Or General McInerney? The doctor would be, hoo boy, the Republicans who refused to take any action to rein in Trump? Susan Collins? Lindsey Graham?
Am I overthinking this?

(5,128 posts)and if he is like the other insane, conservative fascists that live there, then he is crazy and should be detained in an asylum. Most of these idiots became the proverbial 'big fish in a small pond' with their election to a minor office, so they think they can dictate to the entire country their bigotry and divisiveness and we are just supposed to bow to him and his ilk. Seeing that picture reminds me of why my mother used to tell me that she would 'wipe that smirk off of my face'... mainly because it made me look like an idiot.

(2,690 posts)I am left speechless. Words that I want to use I dare not use, thoughts at the forefront of my mind are thoughts I dare not express. I look at the face of this man and want to do violent things.
I checked out McInerney and I can only think of what a fucking midget this asshole is compared to his obvious hero, General James Matoon, the villainous coup-leader in Seven Days in May. In that flick, Burt Lancaster plays a character you didn't like but respected as an intelligent, if evil and megalomaniacal, man. McInerney, on the other hand, is nothing but a deranged low life mental defective with a blood thirst. That he earned 3 stars is a fucking disgrace.
What kind of boob regards a pig-shit traitor as a hero? If you don't know, now you know. His name is Steinburg and he apparently squats somewhere in North Carolina.

(5,395 posts)On what grounds?
Just because your team lost?
Are Hinterland Boobs just a bunch of European soccer hooligans who riot in the streets to express their disappointment because their team lost?
Get a grip! Shut up! Keep it shut, let people guess at your stupidity level rather than open your mouth and show the world you really are that insane!
Martial law indeed. Start the next civil war, why don't you? Not going to change the election result one bit, just make a big mess.
One of the basic tenets of Democracy is to have fair and legal elections, and the results are respected and followed up.
Just throw that away because Trump is your pin up boy?
Boob boy needs some kickback and jail time!
