IMHO It Seems Like We Were Suckered Into Accepting The Results Of This Election..... [View all]

[global1]

there was a lot of confidence before the election that the Dems were going to win and we'd have a female President and hold the Senate and win the House.

As a result - comments were made by Harris, Biden and many Dems that the Dems would - if they lost - foster a peaceful transfer of power. That was an easy thing to say - with the knowledge that they would win the election.

It was almost like they were lured into making that commitment.

But the Repugs and Tr**p had a lot at stake and I feel that they went all out to lie, cheat and steal this election. I couldn't believe that they were as confident that they were that they were going to win. They approached the election most matter of factly and over confidently. Tr**p even said - he didn't need the votes.

In fact - I read a number of posts here on DU that said - it appeared that Tr**p wanted to lose or that he was throwing the election. Near election day - we even heard that the Repugs internal polls were indicating that he was going to lose.

When he actually won - the Dems seemed like they were backed into a corner to concede and proceed with a peaceful transfer of power. They were committed to keep their word and not give a hint of talk of cheating or stealing because they didn't want to look or sound like Tr**p in 2020.

A lot of us have suspicions about the results. A lot of non-expected numbers that were and still are non-challenged seem to defy credulity.

In one day - the whole thing flipped 180 degrees - and the Repugs that were not going to survive as a Party - and Tr**p that was finally going to be held accountable - became - how and who do we blame in the Dems for this loss - and the Dem Party needs a complete makeover.

What happened?

These are just thoughts that are ruminating through my brain since the election. I'm trying to keep my mind off of these thoughts by only watching Hallmark movies (I need some happy endings to get over my demoralization).

Thank you for letting me vent with this post. It seems like the Repugs, Tr**p and the MSM are the ones benefiting from this win. The MSM will have their sugar baby in the WH soon and they will be rolling in the bucks for the next four years.
