Just when you thought Lil Lace couldn’t get any “Lil-er” (smaller, pettier) and more hateful towards women.



Pathetic.

 

[BrightShinyGirl]

You are a loser

I'm not the one who's furious that my candidate won.

Are you gonna be ok?

 

[BrightShinyGirl]

Are you gonna be ok?

I'm fine. I'm not lashing out at the world because my candidate won.

 

[Saint_Ann]

I'm fine. I'm not lashing out at the world because my candidate won.

That makes sense.

The MAGAts have gone waaaaay beyond “poor winners” status and are firmly in the “total losers” category.

They literally can’t win for losing.

JFC

SAD!!!

 

[TS_Woody]

They better Enjoy 2 years of it because the blue wave will come again

 

[Saint_Ann]

Yep. We're all listening to banjo music and drinking white lightning. Yee Haw!

It’s like the MAGAts don’t realize they won because the Democrats got ALL the blame for inflation, the border crisis, the culture wars, and Gaza, etc.

Two years of an economic reality check, a mass deportation nightmare, new right wing hate fueled culture wars, no satisfying peace agreements, a few more climate change related disasters, plus republican attacks on Social Security and Medicare (and the ACA), and the republicans will be out on their asses. (Of course, they will have left their typical mess behind - which Democrats will clean up while getting zero credit for it from many voters.)

We’ve all seen this one before…

broken and shattered

In the days of my youth I was taught to be a Democrat
Now I've reached that age, I've tried to do all those things the best I can
No matter how I try, I find my way back to Libertarian...

 

[AceDesSpades]

Yep. We're all listening to banjo music and drinking white lightning. Yee Haw!

ukulele music, hula-girl lamp and Hawaiian rum-Punch

aloha

 

[AceDesSpades]

BSG might want to get into a support group with PolyT...

Commiserating the [nuclear foot]ball down the field three sobs and a pool of tears at a time.

Who would be a good third to keep them focused on their relativistic morality-outrage over the Orange Peril?

 

[AceDesSpades]

Is BGS past denial yet?
We can help you.

Step one: Listen (read)
You spend too much time talking at us.
Step two: Type
Step three: Wait
Step four: Read
Step five: Think
post OR return (step one)

As a Libertarian, it is easy to put emotion aside. You are going to lose, but you must put forward the ideas of the Founders.

Donald Trump's followers have suffered a severe ego wound. Their entire world is crumbling around them. For most people, politics aren't central to their identity. They can walk away from a loss at the ballot box relatively unscathed. For example, I was disappointed when Hillary Clinton lost in 2016, but it didn't crush me. Being a Hillary supporter wasn't central to my identity.

Trump supporters are different. They can't just switch their allegiance to a different Republican. Supporting anyone else is unthinkable.

Donald Trump's felony convictions are forcing them into the five stages of grief. Mostly what we're seeing on the Politics Board right now is Denial and Bargaining: The news media is lying. There's some clever technicality that proves the trial was a sham. The Supreme Court will swoop in and save him. The dangerous point comes when they move on to Anger. In the real world we may see actual violence -- attempted assassinations of the authorities holding Trump to account. But here on the Politics board we'll just see a lot more acting out -- nihilistic posts about how everything is a joke or America is completely broken.

Hopefully as soon as possible, MAGA can work through their collective anger to get to Depression and Acceptance. Then we'll see a lot of conservative posters wandering away or going silent, too beaten down and ashamed to keep up a losing fight.

Finally, once they work through their grief over Trump, they can start posting again about real political issues.
