Trump helped him with his prison sentence. If a guy got you out of jail what would have you done?

I figured I'd chime in real quick to give a little interesting personal anecdote about post-election on social media.

Twitter is and always was a cesspool, but the support for Biden is really weak. Rather, people are less pro-Biden and more anti-Trump. Most of the talk isn't about how everyone is so happy and confident that Biden is the "new president", but instead that they have a fiery hatred for Trump, the GOP, and anyone who has the audacity to challenge the election status quo. Contrast this to 2016 when my feed wasn't just anti-Trump, but also firmly pro-Hillary (and pro-Bernie). In 2012 immediately after the election, my feed was an endless stream of smug libs circlejerking over their mutual love for Obama and how Romney had been banished to the dark realms.

On Instagram? LITERALLY ONLY ONE PERSON has posted something pro-Biden in the past week, and he's not an American (it's some Dutch or German artist I follow), and most of his comments were calling him an idiot. That's it: absolutely no talk of the election, whether it's pro-Biden or even anti-Trump. No memes, no photos of Kamala smiling with cringey yaas kween slay hashtags, no shitty fan art of Joe with sunglasses eating ice cream. The only things people are posting are typical normie things like selfies, cat photos, pictures of their food, anime memes, and footage of Among Us. I swear, immediately after 11/3/2020 my Instagram feed plunged into a strange alternate dimension where the 2020 election no longer exists. I keep scrolling through and can find nothing relevant to the election ever since Tuesday night: before that, a lot of dipshits were posting selfies with Biden/Harris stickers on their coof masks, along with smug "I Voted" stickers. As of 11/4, though? We ain't found shit.

Contrast that with 2016: on 11/9/2016, my ENTIRE FUCKING INSTAGRAM feed consisted of anti-Trump photos, images of mushroom clouds, burning American flags, people crying, drawings of the Statue of Liberty crying, and sad photos of Hillary with captions like "The Real President!" or some shit. Immediately after that was when TDS kicked into high gear for the coming months well into the inauguration.

What about Instagram in 2012? An endless stream of people uploading the Obama HOPE artwork, along with anti-Romney memes and other shit stolen from George Takei's Twitter feed.

Facebook in 2012 and 2008 immediately after the election? About 90% of my friends changing their profile photo to the Obama HOPE symbol, and posting status updates like "It's a new day in America. For the first time ever I'm finally proud of my country. Change!"

The only discussion whatsoever on Facebook of the post-2020 election is just the typical leftist spergs saying Trump is full of shit and that the election isn't rigged. Otherwise, no one is posting photos of Joe or Kamala, no one is posting status updates like "Finally, we won the White House again!", or even acknowledging Joe as president. No one is referring to him as president: at the most they're just angrily posting about Trump is an idiot and stalling the inevitable coronation of Joe...but no one seems to be too enthusiastic about it. It's basically just, "Ugh, stupid racist Cheeto, stop demanding a recount! Just concede so we can get this damn election over with already!"

Make of that what you will.

Snopes-tier reasoning right here from the NY Times.

Where are we at with the excuses?

1) Georgia => a water main or pipe broke, therefore, we have to stop counting;
2) Pennsylvania => well actually the poll workers were "fixing" "damaged ballots";
3) Arizona => ballots invalidated because of sharpies...?
4) software problems across multiple battleground states;
5) Ballots that just keep coming in that need to be counted even though larger states like Florida managed it all day 1, etc.

It’s probably because they know that if Biden wins, he won’t have the Senate and a good portion of the House in his favor, on top of judges Mitch McConnell appointed. Gibs are going to be very hard to come by if Republicans still maintain a good amount of control.

Again, that depends on what happens in Georgia on January 5. McConnell is treating this seriously because he knows that if he lets this slide now, then he can kiss the Senate, and his lifetime ambition of readjusting the judiciary, goodbye.

It's typical of politicians to make promises they can't keep. At least Hillary showed her face to give some kind of speech the day after election night, what's their excuse for staying quiet and in hiding?


Not if academia has any say in it.

The Texas board of education, whatever it's actually called, has a massive influence on text books for at least high school. There was actually a huge fit thrown because they wouldn't approve some books for the state schools that had a segment praising Hillary Clinton. Though I doubt they love Trump much, it'd be bonkers not to mention this as a crazy election in a lot of ways.
For a start, Donald Trump is the fucking president of the United States which is still hilarious but he didn't actually nuke anyone so he's not that great.

When the left has lost Tariq "Wash Yo Ass" Nasheed, patron saint of the Woke Black Supremacists... they're losing the narrative, period.

It's very clear that if the fix was in, it didn't happen with the surgical percision the Democrats thought if this guy is raising his eyebrow. But, if they can play musical states and stop with Biden having 264 and just needing Nevada to win or Biden needing one state to take it all, they can still taunt everyone about how they got away with their scheme and now AOC can brag about how they're on the way to utopia and pulling America out of the Dark Ages. I think we've reached the point where we're dealing with a serial killer that takes a perverse pleasure in their crimes like Jeffrey Dahmer.
