    When you do the math wrong but somehow still get the right answer.

      Chuds got it in their heads that he could have just made Trump win the election, and therefore got really mad when he obviously didn't.

      He wouldn't unilaterally cancel the Electoral College and declare Trump the President again

          No, the only reason this was even being discussed was because it's QAnon insanity and detachment from reality

              I mean it's essentially the same people smugly scolding the libs and left who want to abolish the EC that "We're a republic, not a democracy", that a huge margin of victory in the popular vote doesn't matter because the EC actually elects the President, and that the EC is actually very good because it protects "small states" or w/e whenever they "win" an election that they would have lost under a more sane electoral system suddenly coming to the realization that all their baseless and obvious lies about "voter fraud" would be completely moot because the Electoral College actually elects the President. So they essentially tripled down on their conceived alternate reality where Trump won in a 49-state landslide, actually, where they can will their fantasies and new Constitutional powers into existence just by believing in it hard enough.

              Extremely cumbersome sentences there but w/e idc

              Probably because even Pence isn't that stupid and understands that even pretending these lunatic arguments have some semblance of a legitimate legal basis is extraordinarily dangerous.

                  Pence isn't nihilistic, he has a material stake in ensuring the United States doesn't collapse into a Years of Lead type situation

                  Like these fucking reptiles in the Republican Party, no matter how much they literally were inciting people to riot for Trump, do not want them to actually do that. Like, another extremely visible aspect of the Capitol Hill Riot and ensuing fallout with the Republicans all lining to piously flagellate themselves for their own words on CNN is that American politicians literally believe they can say whatever outrageous lies they want and nobody will ever actually do anything about it. In fact, they are banking on it. It is itself a type of virtue signaling, no different from Democrats who rhetorically show support for BLM or w/e while simultaneously backing up the cops who violently crush them. They don't actually believe in anything they say, and are banking on everyone else being just as cynical and not acting on words fronting for beliefs that aren't genuine.

                  Unfortunately these morons completely miscalculated because they are very much tailing the masses who make up the base of their own party, they don't understand what motivates these people because their material interests are in a different world divorced from theirs, so they were genuinely surprised when thousands of lunatics took them at their word and tried to overthrow the government.

    They snip at each other just as much as we do, if you like to indulge in self harm and have watched them outside of this event in the guise of trying to understand their mindsets.

        There's also godlikeproductions, kiwifarms, some stuff on darkweb , local newspapers of small towns, and there used to be Stormfront. Yea Chud brain is amazing, on there they're an echo chamber as a group, but if you ever find one of them live in the real world (and not with their buds) they're surprisingly easy to 'disarm' as long as you avoid trigger words and treat them remotely as human. Lot of them are very alienated, very scarred, hurt people similar in some ways to those who end up falling victim to substance abuse.

            Guess the radicalization toward the right of 4ch/8ch ended up happening to them, they were enlightened centrist types before. It was neat to watch that happen over the years in a morbid sense there's certainly parallels to rl about how the process happens.

        The neo-libs use this 🌐 globe , I think the 🌎 globe is sometimes used by foreign policy types who want the US to be "nicer" to other countries. Or they just didn't want to use the neo-lib globe becuase its associated with Pinochet supporting psychos.

        The sunrise is for the Sunrise Movement.

        And I've never seen anyone use the corn emogi except tankies, no I idea what this dude wants it to mean.

    Forcing a bitter power struggle in the GOP is a legitimately good thing to come out of the Biden presidency, even if Biden doesn't actually have anything to do with it.
