    Attention seeking, I would presume.

      @Doctor-Phibes said in Trump himself consents to transition:

      If all we ever do is point the finger about how the other side are worse or as bad, how is anything ever going to get better?

      I don't expect things to get better. But I won't say that whataboutism is inherently a bad mode of thinking.

      How's it working out for us so far?

      It's really simple. If we keep on doing what we're doing, we're just going to get more of what we've got.

      I was only joking

          Yes I get the nihilism. But I also get the absence of solutions.

            How anyone can equate looting, burning and killing with due process in a court of law begs belief...

                  No, you don't get to pull that holier-than-thou shit after posting one of your off-world responses to something somebody said. I went back and reviewed the thread, and Phibes said nothing like what you accused him of.

                      Somewhere in the thought soup was my whataboutism with the hatred of Trump vs the hatred of the riots. It's a valid whataboutism, and one that those who identify as on the left continue to be reluctant, or incapable, to own.

                        Not the only one, of course. I mean they watched the NYT essay, and subsequent book, from the adults in the white house, actively subverting Trump, and said nothing. These are not principled or courageous people, these are primates who can't see past the overwhelming desire to personally win.

                          Let us be honest, there is TDS from lots of people here.

                          TDS from the left - Trump Derangment Syndrom

                          TDS from the right - Trump Deification Syndrom

                                What saved us is the answer to my last question was 'yes'. Other institutions saved us from Trumps attempt to subvert our democracy. Specifically, state courts and the conscience of Michigan's GOP leaders. In absence of the latter it's highly likely that Michigan's state courts would have protected us. This time.

                                But yes, I agree with your point, @Horace. We need to make sure some other Trump-like figure couldn't do this again.

                                Right, it's just a Trump-like figure. Not the electors that tried to steal the election from him in 2016.

                                Wherein I remind jon of the electors with TDS in 2016 trying to build a cross-aisle coalition of faithlessness in a last ditch effort to subvert the will of the people and keep Trump from the White House. See above for the rest of the conversation. Then google for the true motivations of the Democrat electors who pulled the stunt. The worms admitted it on NPR. Probably bragged about it, thinking it would come off as righteous.

                                Number of fucks given by the left at this enormous destruction of political norms: zero.

                                  The point of contention isn’t whether you’ve ever mentioned it. This is your claim from yesterday:

                                  Even jon pretended not to understand it happened.

                                  That’s false.

                                    Ok then you were unaware it happened. I guess the MSM did its job in covering it up, even to the extent a detailed follower of politics like you was unaware of this attempted breach of fundamental political norms by your own side.

                                      Even jon pretended not to understand it happened.

                                      That’s false.

                                      Ok then you were unaware it happened. I guess the MSM did its job in covering it up, even to the extent a detailed follower of politics like you was unaware of this attempted breach of fundamental political norms by your own side.

                                        @jon-nyc said in Trump himself consents to transition:

                                        @horace

                                        That’s also false.

                                        By all means explain yourself. And thanks for refraining from using the phrase straw man, I know you are tempted.

                                        Education is extremely important.

                                          I was not unaware that 2016 had numerous faithless electors.
