Flugennock's Latest'n'Greatest: "What If He Loses?"
"What If He Loses?"
http://sinkers.org/stage/?p=3942
For the past month or so, MSNBC has been clutching every available
pearl over how Donald Trump and his deformed minions will handle the
possibility of losing the "election". Will they pitch a fit, scream
"fraud" and try to lay siege to Capitol Hill to disrupt the electoral
vote count and stage a putsch as they did in '21?
Personally, I can't help asking the same question about the
Donkeycrats: how will THEY handle losing to a dude who resembles a
villain from an old "Columbo" episode and whose followers are some of
the most intensely stupid beings walking upright on Earth; how will
THEY roll with a well-deserved ass-paddling at the polls after
spitting in the faces of every Muslim-American and every American who
actually cares about piddling shit like genocide.
Will the Democrats, on facing defeat, do some institutional
soul-searching, self-examination and self-evaluation, accept
responsibility and get to work on solutions or — as they've always
done — pitch a fit, scream "fraud", blame the Left, blame Russia,
create a climate of good old-fashioned McCarthyist bullying, fear,
suspicion and suppression and try to litigate and investigate their
way into power, as they did in '17?
Bwah ha ha ha ha ha hah, d'ahh, hell, man; who are we kidding?
