I am sick of hearing from the left, right and media, "but people fear him because 70 million people voted for him."

Guess what?

The loser of every election has people vote for them, too. That's why they're elections. But the continued weak kneed deflection to perpetuate that trope serves no purpose but to further enable Trump, while people use it as a shield for their inaction and political cowardice.

There's nothing magical about Trump or his voyers. Furthermore, while he may have gotten 70 million, Biden still got 80 million under some of the harshest, most adversarial voter suppression conditions ever, save the times when the nation has been involved in actual shooting war.

Therefore, anyone who defers to the weakness of invoking Trump and his voters to insulate and indemnify themselves against political repercussions, criticism, or as an excuse to perpetuate partisan paralasis, must have their careers ended.

And, those media outlets engages in those terror tactics in any way must be out out of existence. The first amendment makes no space for lies, propaganda, information warfare, or the promotion of fear and domestic terrorism.

Trump lost, he lost badly, and it's just that serious.
