You know the one thing you can always count on with MAGA letters s is a dose of hypocrisy and a general pride some seem to show in their lack of intelligence. A recent writer said Dems should just get over it about the election along with a hilarious nana booboo in your face. Wow good one.
I agree everybody needs to get over the election, it's done and we just have to live with it. But I would remind the writer of the reaction to Trump's 2020 loss and the violence and lies GOP leaders spewed for the last four years. It seems to me Trump’s win spoils claims of stolen election in 2020, and talk of 2024 being rigged has stopped. It's only rigged when Republicans lose. Or maybe he was just lying for four years.
Dems have every right to be upset, pissed or whatever emotion it brings out and if stepping away from friends and relatives who are of that mindset feels appropriate, do it. Votes have consequences. We're going to be seeing that for the next four years.
