    @Horace said in Trump himself consents to transition:

    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.

    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.

            And what you meant to say is "defies belief", not begs belief. At least get your distortions right.

                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.

                                      @jon-nyc you were unaware it was an attempt to build a coalition of faithlessness to deprive Trump of the White House.

                                        Our Supreme Court even weighed in on the 2016 faithless electors.

                                        No one talked about democracy in peril then. LOL. God if they say it enough it becomes true right? That’s the new science.

                                          @loki said in Trump himself consents to transition:

                                          And that story misrepresents the motivations of the electors. Just says they refused to vote for Hillary, as if they hated Hillary. It’s no wonder so few of us understand the true motivations. The media covered it with a pillow. On some level even TDS sufferers are ashamed of themselves. But they feel snug and safe that they have herd immunity from public shaming.
