Fucking Decision Desk prematurely calling the race over in favor of corrupt Biden.
Trump will fight this no doubt in court.
This country is now an open banana republic where fraud is lauded by half the nation as long Trump is not winning it.

There are more than two groups. Trump was beloved among Republicans, and hated among die-hard leftists, but many people in the center disliked him.
As did I once, so I can definitely see things from their side better. He won me over by having courage, but unfortunately, most would rather have a kneeling idiot.
Rest assured that four years from now, Hawley will be called 'worse than Trump'. It's guaranteed. They always do that.
Yes and no. They tried the same thing with every Republican, as you said, but they succeeded more with Trump than with other Republicans, because Trump is so easy to caricature and demonize. That's not a good thing, as much as I have been entertained by him driving them absolutely mad over the past 4 years.
I could tell (absolutely not being snide here) and I think it's coloring your judgement. I too had issues with Trump (and still have some), he's definitely flawed. I also recognize that this this kind of non-kneeling personality is exactly what we need right now.
This is just PC culture in action and has no basis in reality. The left trains people to root for the polite, eloquent but ultimately harmless and compromised candidate. I think people on the political right are increasingly sick of these type of deep state plants, especially as the political climate in the US gets more dire.
Wrong. This is a fundamental misunderstanding on your part. They "succeeded" more because they failed. At no point did Trump crumble.
He never sat down quietly in his room and reflected about how, "gee, they just don't like me! maybe I should change the way I present myself? maybe I should stop tweeting for a while? Maybe I'm in the wrong here after all". Which is remarkable, because that's exactly what PC culture does to people, and is exactly why supposedly right-wing politicians, judges, etc. appear to be such gigantic cucks. The left ruthlessly attacks their personality, their family, digs through their past, anything. It's scorched earth. As decent people who have always been raised to avoid confrontation and shame, they panic. Ultimately, they want a quiet life. They want to look dignified.
Trump is not like that at all and that is exactly why he was immune to these tactics. He has no problem looking like a clown. That's why the left riled up their base and turned the dial on the "insanity" to 11. Because they're so used to people who fold under this sort of relentless pressure, and they actually found an anomaly.
I like Trump better than any other Republican who has been president. But there is no denying that the losers whipped himself in much more of a hysteria over him than anyone else. Why is that? It's not just because they are crazy, though they are, there is just something about Trump that pisses people off. Particularly people who wrongly consider themselves intelligent and educated, while repeating whatever they hear in the lying media.
One can be eloquent without being harmless and compromised though. I think the Romneys of the world are compromised because they are on the other side when it comes to any other issue than their own taxes and enrichment. But someone like Tucker?
It's one thing to not have a problem with it when they falsely attack you, it is quite another to go out of your way to appear like a clown, which he sometimes does. I love that he takes no crap from the lying media, I love that he drove them crazy in order to discredit themselves. That is what we needed. But I'd rather that he do that while having the support of 2/3 of people.
The problem is until we get young people who have been raised into cancel culture, this may be the only personality type that is actually immune to these attacks.
No they were louder about it, which gave the impression of success. You can go outside and find a Trump supporter. Some are too scared to say it, but you'll find plenty all over. We even have people admitting to being Right wing whatsoever now!
You couldn't find a person who admitted to even voting for Bush, let alone liking him. They had demonized him so thoroughly his entire base was cowed into silence. Conservative was a dirty word, as was Republican, and the Right was so browbeaten into patheticness it took full out of Left-Field things like the "alt-right" and Gamergate to start its resurgence.
When are we talking about? 2014? And I disagree that Gamergate has anything to do with the right. We are apolitical.
Around 2015 was when I noticed the resurgence, though I'm often not plugged into the pulse of movements as they happen.
And Gamergate itself was apolitical, but its a large umbrella and it was a huge boost of confidence that the SJWs/Left were not invincible and all powerful. Which opened the tepid steps of those on the Right to actually speak openly and then snowball into fighting back themselves.
Just because you and many big names in GG kept saying it was apolitical and it had apolitical welcomings, didn't make it devoid of political momentum. Nearly all opponents of GG being Left-wing made it a huge thing for the Right, entirely by coincidence.
