You can only vote on one answer.
Here is my conflict.. At the 2020 election 74,222,958 votes were cast for Donald Trump (at least) More if you believe the many conspiracy theories. But lets skip over those. I will concede that over 74 Million is a huge number. And this was after American voters experiencing a Trump administration for Four Years.
To me that means that in spite of not winning by the numbers, he still has that much support. If I were Abraham out of the old Tastament I would think twice before standing up for America if God showed up and decided to stage Sodom and Gommorah, " Strike Two..the return" there. Sacrificing the rest of America to rid the world of that much hatred, ignorance and just plain stupid seems like a fair deal..

Loathe it or love it, a Presidential win is a Presidential win. Life goes on and so does everyone else.
If we all spent our lives being bitter and resentful of the outcome of events that didn’t go in our favour we would never move forward. Life is about moving forward.

@whowasthatmaskedman The thing that I find most ironic is that during the run up to the election Biden said very little. He didn’t make any memorable speeches, he just make lots of public appearances which is part of the job. Trump on the other hand was all about big speeches that got everyone riled up. Trump spent the whole campaign antagonizing, annoying, angering and bullying Democrats with his words.

And now Republicans are crying foul!?

Guys if you are going to have a big party in your back yard and do burn outs in the street outside your 80 year old Neigbours house at 3 am then don’t complain when they call the cops and get you evicted aka You Democrat Neighbours all go to the voting polls and vote your president out of office.

Thus issue is about our democracy and our right to vote. We shouldn't move on when that is compromised

@akindheart True. But not really on point. You have a right to vote and that responsibility to be a "good citizen" is on display as a result. This is about how the world grades Americas paper..

@akindheart As long as all voters can vote without fear of intimidation then you have an even election.
a tough idea

but i was disheartened, that so many would choose to live under a dictator
@SatyrService dictator?

@whowasthatmaskedman Education and time. When I first landed in Washington State, it was a Red State. I used to think voting was a waste of time, because my candidates never won. With an injection of educated people, look at us now. Houston. Parts of North Carolina.

The more educated people get the Bluer the state gets. One of the reasons you notice the SW Trumpsters insist education is a waste of time.

the crux of this issue, is [i]These Guys
[/i]
there are 2 kinds of people in the world
These guys, and everybody else,.

who are [i]These guys.?
[/i]
The are the ones that believe, They, and Their Kind, should be on top, unquestionably In Charge, ruling over all others NOT one of Themselves.

those below? need to shut up, and stay in their place and obey without resistance.
or be punished or killed.
In the Worse Cases, the want to convert or exterminate those not of Their Kind

some of t[i]hese guys[/i] are Americans, on the hard left AND the extreme right.

some of these guys Claim Religion. "our god and our way is the only way the rest of you are dammed, and are less than human." like Christian Nationalists, or Islamic Fundamentalists.

some of these guys claim heritage. "My People have ruled for generations, thus proving our superiority" The Old nobility, the colonial powers. or just those that won the last war..

some of these guys claim race, "all Gweilo are Just animals." or "White means Right"...

no matter where they start, they all have one thing in common

We should rule, others should be ruled, or eradicated.

there are many of of these guys in SW and all cross America
millions of them

they cannot tolerate those not like themselves
and that is the rest of us. all Colors creed and kinds

@SatyrService I agree.. And that sends me looking for reasons. My country was founded not long after, from the same seed culture and language and like America has had wave after wave of migration from most of the same places. The two major differences I can see are the mass import of Black slaves and the continuation of that, and the fact that American first settlers were deeply religious zealots who burned witches. Obviously not every early American was either of this things. But somewhere along the way, our culture managed to keep the standard that racial or religious intolerance was fundamentally a bad thing, and people who publicly expressed those opinions where not to be associated with: As opposed to elected to State and federal office.
