Trump's Coup Attempt

Avery said:
It's been pathetic watching the past two weeks as Trump's legal team waste money on challenges that will go nowhere yet to continue to spout that there's overwhelming evidence of the election being stolen. I've never seen a bigger bunch of crybabies in my life.

A sad display from a bunch of opportunists who can't seem to admit that people don't like Trump - especially as R's dominated the House vote to set up a competitive 2022 and will likely hold the Senate.

Ya one of the weirdest things to me is that trumpers legit seem shocked that there is any way at all that Biden could have possibly won. How stupid are these people. We have a 2 party system. Any candidate who is representing one of those two parties has a pretty good chance at winning regardless of how good or bad of a candidate they are.

I see trumpers saying things like "its impossible that enough people voted for biden for him to win". I would not have been at all surprised by a trump win. There are alot of partisan republicans who will vote for the republican. Same goes for Biden. There are a lot of partisan democrats who will vote for the democrat. You have to be an idiot to think that either candidate has no chance.

This, once again, makes me wonder, "They can't really be this stupid, can they? I mean, they have to be playing it up for the cameras?"

On my first break yesterday a guy was watching Tucker on his phone with the volume up to a stupid level.

On my second break Shark Tank ended and CNBC news came on. Another guy who was watching one of the even more extreme "news" sources on his phone, loud enough so that people at other socially distanced tables could hear, started grumbling when Shepard Smith started talking about Trump eventually having to leave the White House, saying distinctly "He ain't going nowhere...grumble grumble."

Yeah, if you're not drinking the kool aid these guys look like a bad joke. If you're swimming in the kool aid apparently this makes perfectly reasonable sense to you. It's working on the people it's intended to work on.

Interesting fact, if you didn't know it: The expression "drinking the Kool-Aid" comes from the Jonestown massacre in 1978, when Jim Jones convinced over 900 members of his cult to commit mass suicide by drinking poisoned grape Flavor Aid from a big metal tub. Women gave it to their own babies, and then watched them die within about 5 minutes as they died more slowly themselves. Absolutely horrific. You hear the expression used all the time, but rarely have I seen a more relevant and fitting parallel than 70+ million American citizens absolutely chugging the proverbial Kool-Aid, all because this fake-tan, greasy-haired used car salesman in an ill-fitting suit has them convinced the other entire half of the country is evil and out to get them.
 
It appears that Trumps legal battles have been massive failures so now he mostly abandoning that route and switching tactics by way of intimidating or bribing electors to go against the will of the people.
Our country has never seen anything like this in its history. Trump is doing whatever he can to stay in power regardless of what the voters want. He is attempting to destroy america and apparently many americans are also wanting our country to get destroyed. Sad sad sad.

I don't always think about Jonestown when I use the term, but I absolutely did this time.
