There's a faction of DU that seems to delight in pointing and laughing at those of us who believed. . .

21. The President has agreed to a peaceful transfer of power while the campaign messaged. . .

. . ."THIS IS IT! Democracy or dictatorship? Choose wisely!" Even as he grudgingly agreed to peaceful transfer, I think at least the level of snubbing that Trump did toward change is warranted.

So where is the disconnect? Do you disagree with my characterization of the campaign message?

If you agree that what I've posited is indeed the thrust of the campaign message, then the tone I would expect Biden to take would be much more defiant. I would expect him to accept the count as it is given if he believed it to be accurate. But I would expect him to use his bully pit to at least put a poison pill in gutting SS or Medicare. I mean even a strongly worded, "MARK MY WORDS! The Republicans are coming after YOUR Social Security--the one that YOU have paid in your entire working life."

I would expect to hear a speech that Trump won through lies and deceit, that the public needed to be hypervigilant to protect their rights from the implementation of P2025. I would expect an angry message directed toward Rs given to the public which might even include clips of R Scott saying that all laws and expenditures should have to be re-authorized every 5 years. I'd expect a good common-sense explanation as to why that suggestion is a terrible idea. (I assume you know why it' a terrible idea).

I'd expect a hard warning about what the Rs intend to do to include/ echo the vilant rhetoric that Trump used. Yes, something along the line of P. Henry's "Give me liberty or give me death. . ." -----Was it all just a ballgame? Gee.

What we've got is "No, please don't put Fox in charge. . ." (That's hyperbole. But not by much).
