I don't get it. We're seeing a spike in coronavirus cases, we have to make sure we have a smooth transfer of power to get the vaccine to market, and Joe Biden is being denied his ability to being to transition over and the media is like, "But what's Trump's point here?". Stop it.
It's time for everyone to make it clear that Donald Trump, and the Republican Party that's aiding and abetting him, is wrong and is doing real and calculable damage with their refusal to accept legitimate election results. It's not about "humoring" him, it's validating insanity.
At no point in the four years of Trump's time in office have the GOP ever backed away from supporting his most ridiculous of instincts. There's never been a time when they've stood up to him or told him that enough is enough. Why do we keep expecting them to change now?
We're going to be having the same conversation two, three, and even six weeks from now about "When is the GOP going to tell him it's over?". THEY WON'T. Because they don't want to. The Republicans will ride this as long as it hurts Joe Biden's ability to govern. That's their plan
The Republicans aren't interested in unity. They want fealty from Democrats. All of this "We need to respect the 70million people who voted for Trump" line is bullshit when they never respected the millions more who voted for Clinton in '16 and Biden in '20. It's a cynical ploy.
