Trump is our rightful president for the next four years. I saw the evidence, the videos, the news clips which showed him leading and then he lost votes which went to a third-party placeholder before being given to Biden. I saw the boarded up windows which prevented the Republican poll watchers from participating, and how in some places where the judge allowed them in, they had to use binoculars because the Democrats still kept them 20 feet away if not more … All we wanted was a free and fair election and a chance to be heard.
That was denied us …. Now they all are trying to shut us up. Why, if the election was fair and honest? Twitter is a cesspool of hate; I do not understand why anybody goes on there. That being said, Social Media has no right to decide what information I am permitted to read.
They are supposed to be a platform for free speech and the exchange of ideas, but instead they block President Trump and ban conservative views. Then they went after Parler. Then they went after Gab. Twitter, all of them are in this suppression together. What are they afraid of? Free speech? Hence no free speech in the public square. You are canceled. You can lose your job. You go on a blacklist. People who support Trump or worked in his administration are now blacklisted as punishment for their beliefs.
This is what they do in communist countries, not free America. What the hell has happened to our country in the past year anyway? Riots and looting are permitted if performed by antifa but not peaceful protests by Trump supporters. Antifa infiltrates our rallies to make us look bad. Nobody cares. It is not investigated. Thus anger among conservatives continues to build up like a volcano about to explode because we are stymied at every turn and there is no outlet, no justice, just corruption.
We had the greatest economy going for everybody … Unemployment was down for Blacks and hispanics. Business was booming. This Flu was supposed to be so deadly that people were going to drop dead in the streets and foam at the mouth, so the President asked that we shut down the country for two weeks to flatten the curve to make sure the hospitals were not overrun.
I complied. I had enough toilet paper and paper towels for a month. But then the lockdown continued … week after week … month after month … I have to stand in line at the store to be allowed in and hope the shelves are not bare … just like in commie countries.
People are selling single rolls of TP in the parking lot. I am running out of supplies. We are now nine months into the two-week shutdown. Small businesses have been destroyed including my little arts and craft business, which provided supplemental income to my retirement. Even if the lockdown were lifted tomorrow and people were told that the crisis was over, small business is never coming back.
Why bother when we now know the government can shut us down again at any time and we can lose our investment? Besides, the brainwashing is too complete. They will still be afraid to eat out at a restaurant and attend events because the brainwashing is that ingrained into them now and we do not trust our institutions to tell us the truth anymore anyway ….
They told us to self-isolate and not see our family for months on end … to cancel Thanksgiving and Christmas. The government, especially the Dem governors, got to determine which businesses were essential and could remain open, and what they could sell. Who gave the government the right to do this stuff?
The Fourteenth Amendment guarantees every American the right to life, liberty, and property, but the government took away my property and my ability to make a living with the lockdown. It was unconstitutional to say nothing of it not working, as the states with the most severe lockdowns have the most cases of COVID, if you can trust the numbers, i.
Where are the lawsuits? How come nobody is standing up for my rights, including my elected GOP reps? Only Trump stands up against the Dems for my rights. And I share your dismay at the pandemic.
I miss my friends so much. I miss restaurants and bars, too. I will return to them. And believe me: The majority of Biden voters want so badly for this pandemic to end, and to return to normal as soon as possible.
Read: The coming Republican amnesia. Next we visit the clueless camp, where professional pundits gather. The consensus here is that the election wasn't a mandate for Republicans to overhaul government.
I confess that I was one of these, but mark your calendars I was wrong. There is a difference between warning victors against the end-zone prance, as many of us did, and denying that Republicans were hired to do a job.
There's also no denying that the midterms were a referendum on President Barack Obama. The president prefers to say they were a referendum on his policies, which is perhaps an easier pill to swallow. But Obama is his policies, which happen to rub many Republicans and at least a few Democrats the wrong way. Moreover, people don't like being insulted and misled, as many feel they have been by this administration.
This is not just a feeling but a demonstrable fact, especially vis-a-vis the Affordable Care Act. And it's not just the far-right fringe who object to the strategic misrepresentations along the way. These obfuscations include telling the American people that they could keep the insurance they had if they liked it and also writing the law in such a way that the ACA's mandate to purchase government-approved insurance was not a "tax," despite the Internal Revenue Service's role in policing its compliance.
The keep-your-insurance ruse is history now, but the memory still lingers in the minds of voters, who, contrary to what the Obama White House thinks, are not stupid. There's no dishonor — and it certainly isn't stupid — to not understand the ACA. The then-Democratic-controlled Congress that passed the thing didn't even understand it. I'd wager that most members still don't. Punditry aside, there's no mystery to the midterm shellacking.
His wife, also a life-long Democrat, went to the polls without him - and voted Republican. Some crossed party lines for Trump or backed an independent.
Clinton won the popular vote with And her weakness in traditionally Democratic areas helped cost her the electoral college that chooses the winner of the election.
Clinton came across as a status quo candidate unlikely to shake up the Washington establishment, says Mike Sly, 74, a retiree and independent voter in Pinellas County, Florida, who backed Obama in and voted for Trump this year. In , Obama won 52 percent. Nationally, initial projections show low voter turnout of just over 55 percent, the worst since the contested election of , when Republican George W. Meanwhile, Trump still managed to hold roughly the same level of minority support that Romney got in
