    No maam….No whitewashing now.. you painted anyone who voted for A REPUBLICAN with that brush.
    Are you Rachel Ziegler? Hollywood princess who just claimed that the left should make sure no Repubs should ever know peace? And that the repubs are irredeemable?
    Yes.. so tolerant
    The left feels like if you think different than I you are a garbage individual and have no redeeming quality. We see it in Jos post. We see it in the House rep that wants a shadow government, we see it in the Hollywood elites calling for no peace ( let me guess celebrities no longer matter? Than why did Kamala pay out the nose for celebrity endorsements?)
    If you wanted Trump
    To lose you should have had a better message, actually a coherent message would have been great… a better candidate who didn’t claim sleepy joe ran circles around her and maybe get off the damn high horse and start being the blue collar hard working party you once were instead of the freebies for everyone woke agenda pandering to everyone party you’ve become.

    Hahahaha - you called me "maam." You're trying to subtly insult me by implying that I'm female! That's funny and witty!!

    As far as my thinking that anyone who disagrees with me is "a garbage individual", well I think that maybe you're reflecting too personally on this. Maybe you'd like to drop the self-loathing and consider what I actually said.

    I said that anyone who would vote for an individual who clearly enacted a criminal conspiracy to overturn an election.....has shirked their repsonsibility as an American voter.

    Do you disagree? Did we not see a sitting President try to not peacefully transfer power, and try to overturn an election? Is that something that you are OK with, maam?*




    * Get it?!! I did the "maam" thing right back at YOU!! Was it funny?!

    Umm
    You spell Joe without the “e”
    Jo is how females usually spell the name. Joe is how males usually spell the name. What else were we suppose to think? Talk about thinking to much..
    Self loathing ? Over what pray tell. This should be fun.

    What makes you think Maam bothers me? It doesn’t. Kind of refreshing to see a democrat with old fashion manners. Thank you.

    How about letting us know what you prefer. Mrs. Mr. Ms, Miss, Sir, Mam, etc. so as not to offend you. I assumed you were a female and apologize if I’m wrong.

    google jo vs Joe and you will see that Jo is often short for Johanna and usually feminine.

    Oh

    wait

    you were the one that brought up me using maam.. not me. So I’m on topic.
    Is there a reason you chose the feminine version of the name? Are you actually a female? Or a man who didn’t know better? Or transgender? It’s cool
    But letting us know your pronouns will keep these awkward conversation at a minimum.

    In words of dearly departed Saint John of the latter day poets

    "You can gaze out the window get mad and get madder,
    Throw your hands in the air, say "What does it matter?"
    But it don't do no good to get angry,
    So help me I know

    For a heart stained in anger grows weak and grows bitter.
    You become your own prisoner as you watch yourself sit there
    Wrapped up in a trap of your very own
    Chain of sorrow."

    And the topic can be rightly stated as pointing out how some Dems cannot grasp the reality of why they lost.. because it’s their own fault..

    Have you ever considered initials, you clever clever man? Or woman?

    Hey also;

    Did we not see a sitting President try to not peacefully transfer power, and try to overturn an election? Is that something that you are OK with?

    No
    I am not nor was I I ever ok with it.
    Now as for initials.. initials are not usually placed in lowercase. Initial usually have a period after them to denote they are in fact initials. Please keep in mind you yourself brought this line of questioning up when attacking my use of maam. Then you yourself tried to use the same tactic to make a point that failed miserably.maybe just stop digging?

    Try to avoid the gender policing and insults- you're good at neither.

    So....you're NOT OK with a sitting President trying to not peacefully transfer power (for the first time in US history), and trying to overturn an election......

    .....but what you're REALLY upset about, and what you insist should REALLY bother others is....the Dems ran a weak candidate?

    Fine with me. That's a commentary on you. Just like voting for such an un-American criminal is a commentary on anyone who would do so.

    But why are we even talking? I don't care about you or what you think. You're pretty silent about, if not supportive of, voting for an un-American criminal.

    Hahaha
    Gender policing? You brought up gender my friend. And yes… I think Dems are to blame for Trumps return to the White House. I know I know.. you can’t admit that. It’s fine. But Trump is in the White House because 10 million dem voters stayed home. 10 million refused to support the dem ideology, the dem candidate.
    Why is that? Sure .. Dems have claimed misogynistic values, lies and more lies , racism.. but it was the dem voters that apparently listened to those lies, were racists and misogynistic. They are the ones that refused to bite for Kamal.
    And it seems you are unable to grasp that
    .Granted , you’ve tried to turn the whole gender thing in this thread around on me several times unsuccessfully and are still calling me the gender police so it’s not surprising you can’t see where the real issue is…

    So you have no big problem with voting for the only sitting POTUS in US history who tried to not peacefully transfer power, and enacted a criminal conspiracy to overturn an election?

    Cool. That's all I need to know about you.

    Thanks in advance for not addressing me, I have no interest in anything you say.

    Jo is right ridgetop. He is always extraordinarily pleasant to people who disagree with. He treats everyone with sanity and respect. He is the epitome of civility, particularly with those who disagree with him. I’m sure that we all would just love to have a beer or two with him anytime. Oh shit, wait, I forgot to include how open minded he is. How could I have forgotten that.

    To the first Q, no because I am not basing my opinion solely on my political relationship w my Mom. I have no guess for the second question and feel it's irrelevant. Trump was the candidate and the majority of American voters went for him. Those people, by and large, are a lost cause. Look at the motley crew of folks Trumph is appointing to his cabinet. People voted for that?! Consider his blatant idiocy (sharpie-cane, nuking hurricanes, bleaching covid patients, Hannibal Lecter, sharks and batteries, they're eating the dogs, and on and on and on), propensity for crime, disloyalty to the U.S., failure to develop a health care plan, infidelity . . . people vote for that?! IOW - it didn't matter what Trumph said or did. Folks were gonna vote for him.
    This is made up stuff, WES. I didn't refer to Trump voters as permanent enemies or anything about the dark side.
    My mom votes Republican because her husband is a staunch R and watches Fox News all day. It's that simple and there is no chance I could convince her otherwise, given that the person she lives with has the biggest influence. Thanks for your post.
