Well... maybe he should just tell the truth about Republicans. Or he could point out that Americans really like Socialism. Socialism built roads. (Yeah, sure, and schools and libraries and the internet and stuff- but Americans really love cars). If he spends 4 years explaining that, then the next time the Republican candidate "accuses" someone of Socialism- it won't have so much effect. Who knows? In maybe to or three presidential terms you could end up with a politician who would look "normal" elsewhere in the world, rather than extreme Right wing .

Something puzzles me. Trump barely won the 2016 election and he did it even though he lost the popular vote. He has had 4 years to sort out any issues he saw with the electoral process, and didn't so I guess he accepts that the results in 2016 were pretty much a reflection of reality. He won that on essentially a single issue campaign; "Build a wall". He didn't build the wall. He's the ultimate "You had one job" meme. Obviously, that's not going to go down well with the people who voted for him. In the meantime, he also oversaw the unnecessary deaths of more US citizens that the Vietnam and Korean Wars put together. Overall, 4 years ago he had less than 50% support, but fluked a win. Since then he has screwed up virtually everything he has tried to do. Why would anyone think he was now more popular?

I think he probably understands it well enough that he doesn't want to go to gaol.

Why else would he have packed the Supreme court? Hillary knew that she wasn't actually facing jail time; Trump is. She was accepting the outcome of a job interview; he is stalling about his freedom.

When they finally shoehorn Trump out of the WH, those faithful public servants will carry on actually running the place until Biden catches up.

Hate isn't really the problem. As Alex pointed out, this is https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2020/nov/12/trump-election-concede-republicans-democrats They are cooly and calmly plotting how to get round the vote which they know they lost. And if the Dems let them, they might just manage it. Reminding the population that Trump never tells the truth is a reasonable policy.

That should be a massive problem but... how much do you miss if Trump doesn't tell you what he thinks about a scientific/ economic problem? Yes, but I'm beginning to think he should be a bit less "statesman" and a bit more "He lied about the wall, he lied about the swamp, he lied about mexico, he lied about the virus and... guess what... he lied about election fraud too". I think the Dems need to push back a lot harder. Maybe counter-sue Trump for defaming poll counters.

That video is nonsense.

Where is the well regulated militia when you need it?

There will always be "doubt" about that. Fox has cheerfully broadcast lies before- their own, and other people's. It's unlikely that they suddenly developed morals. SoI wonder why they aren't broadcasting Trump (and co)'s lives. I'm cynical enough to think that it's to save Trump supporters from exposure the evidence that Trump is a fraud. If they don't see him acting like a fool, they might not realise he's a fool. It's not going to influence his die-hard supporters or his equally die-hard opponents. But there's a group- even now - who are undecided. If you show that group pictures of Trump saying "the elections were rigged " but without giving any evidence,, at least some of them will realise he's lying. And I think Fox is happy to avoid that, while also maintaining some sort of "moral high ground" by not broadcasting the lies.

Good news; two thirds don't.

I don't agree with this at all. I know a few Trump supporters. Most people are not Trump supporters. Even in the USA, he was in the minority when elected. If his supporters didn't see the writing on the wall, that's their problem. But most people live outside the US and most of us saw him as the fraud he is.

I rather hope that one of Biden's priorities is to get some sort of "if you tell lots of lies on line you get closed down" legislation up and running. With luck Trump will be in jail or in exile.

Most people knew it wouldn't work out. Must republicans chose Trump. Does that tell you anything?

With appropriate social distancing.

There's a meme on line featuring a map of countries with no extradition treaty with the USA. It would be so funny if Pence didn't.

"How Trump Could Steal The Election" Well, he failed the easy way... Let's see him get creative.

The same should be true of requiring people to join a religion. Sadly some religions don't realise that. And, by way of pretending to have read thee topic, I'm an atheist.

Pretty close to half the US population has not realised that he was elected on one policy: "Build a wall", but he didn't do it. They think he's a success. That's remarkably unobservant. "start"?

Three of those images imply too much power in the wrong place. The other is a horse.

I'm not responsible for whatever nonsense you believe. However, in the real world, people keep spiders as pets. https://www.thesprucepets.com/pet-tarantulas-1237346 And yes I have known people who had a pet spider.

No it isn't. I'm OK with them. Some people keep them as pets. No.

It is easy to make something go wrong, but difficult to repair it. Especially when the thing is so complex that you do not know how it works.
