Trump Taught Us How to Fight Back
For years I’ve listened to and agreed with the diatribes about the feckless Republican party. Republicans were known for being cooperative, reasonable, even polite in their interactions with Democrats. They would also whine and complain endlessly about lying and cheating they faced, but nothing seemed to change.
People have proposed forming a new party to replace the Republicans, but that might not be necessary. We’ve had a four-year seminar on how to fight back against the Democrats and the media, and it may have been ugly, chaotic, and confusing, but the public is finally taking note: You may not like Donald Trump, but he’s a power to be reckoned with.
We’re watching Trump’s feisty and predictable demands for fairness in this election; that every vote be counted, and that fraud and manipulation are the unacceptable strategies of the Democrats in several states. Those kinds of actions are not new, but Trump is finally telling everyone that the Democrats are not going to get away with these tactics. He is calling them out big-time and will fight tooth-and-nail for the voices of the people to be heard.
Naturally, the Democrats are resisting and denying these accusations. I suspect they are also extremely annoyed that the President is not going along with their historic deceptions. This time around he’s not just going to complain; he’s going to take the election mishandling all the way to the Supreme Court.
It’s important to note that he’s not requiring every state to account for their strategies and final counts, only those where results are suspect and that law-breaking has already been witnessed. Keep in mind that he’s not only fighting for his own election.
He’s fighting for justice.
He’s fighting for the people of this country.
He’s fighting for the United States of America.
Let’s hope Republican officeholders are taking notes. It’s time to fight back.

I’m torn with this. One the one hand, having all your personal proof of citizenship documentation on one card would be wonderful — if that were all it would be used for. But having to “show your papers” on demand seems so nazi-like.
Trump just showed Republicans how to lose to a senile old man named Joe Biden.
The sooner Republicans realize that Trump is a loser the better off they will be.
The voters of 2020 were perfectly willing to re-elect Republicans. Even Susan Collins was able to win re-election in Maine while Trump lost Maine decisively.
Trump is a loser. Republicans need to wake up and realize this.
I think this post might have waited a week or two.
This post isn’t a week or two early. It’s about 5 years too late.
I’m down with it. No one with an I.Q. over 95 should vote anyway. Humans are too corrupt for real democracy. We should return to our Republican roots.
Better late than never.
What will you replace him with? RINO losers such as Romney, JEB!, Kasich, a dip like Larry Hogan?
I hoping Trump wins, cans AG Barr and puts in someone in his place who will fight. I want a new AG that will appoint b several Special Counsels, not only on the Russian Hoax Mob, Spying on Americans, the Antifa/BLM Riot Machine, and ChiCom Joe Biden Crew, but on the widespread fraud in our election process and how the ChiCom backed Media and Tech Giants interfered with our election.
In my polling place in LA, I did not even need to show ID. That is how bad it is. I also want an investigation of Legal and Illegal Alien voting, which my statewide voting system encourages. Here in LA there are many, many legal Foreigners- almost all of which should not be voting, because they are not citizens. Here in California that amounts to millions, yes literally many millions of illegal votes electing many Democrats to Statewide Office, Congress and the Senate who should not be there, not to mention making California solidly blue in Presidential elections. Just imagine California’s 55 electoral votes up for grabs! That would change Presidential politics! California only voted once for a Democrat from 1952 to 1992, before the massive influx of immigrants.
Tom Cotton would be an excellent candidate for President.
At least Tom Cotton is capable of stringing to sentences together. Trump has the intelligence of fourth grader and the voters responded by preferring a senile old man over Trump.
We’ll just ask all the new faces in the Republican coalition to leave, yeah? You know, the ones that just put 10 more Republicans in the House.
Buck up, camper, you got to see your party adapt and its message effectively brought to an audience no one thought it could reach. Want to go back? Start by subtracting ten percent (at least) of this vote off of the next candidate’s totals. Oh, we get anti-Trumps back? Hate to tell you, but we already got most of them back.
So consider your ham-handed righteousness, because if you have your way this party is done.
You have made my point. Voters were willing to support Republican candidates for US Senate and US House. But on the presidential contest they preferred a senile Joe Biden who hid in his basement for most of the campaign over Trump.
I agree about Cotton, but you are wrong about Trump. Trump is not a polished speaker, but he is very sharp. It was interesting hearing Jordan Peterson speak about Trump’s intelligence, or lack of.
Youtube will not allow me to share a video from Glenn Greenwald to Facebook.
Edit: Tried to share Electric Light Orchestra and it wouldnt do that either. Clearly communist conspiracy.
Trump is as sharp as a spoon. Biden just sat back and let Trump do all the talking and let the voters soak it all in. Now we see the results and the results are that Trump is soon to be an ex-President.
There is no way that Trump is dumb. Maybe a dumb person can become the President of the United States* but a low I.Q. person can’t govern the way he has governed and he couldn’t have governed the way he did if he was dumb. He is not as educated as I would like but everything about his success suggests an I.Q. of over 105 or a 110.
*Generic Biden joke.
Peterson is smarter than either of us and he thinks Trump is pretty smart. I’ll trust his opinion. I’d say that the election result — at this time, the probable result — indicates that half the electorate is stupid and/or ignorant.
No. It’s much worse than you think.* High I.Q. people can’t actually reason. They have the capacity to learn that free markets work and that BLM is an insane Marxist suicide cult but they don’t want to.
*I want that to be my catchphrase.
I had a recent exchange with a former co-worker who now lives in England. His maxim is one NeverTrumpers should live by: Don’t believe everything you think.
That’s a wonderful catchphrase.
You’ll go blind doing that.
They’ll just do it until they need glasses.
Actually, one of my points on this thread (and granted you have to look a few comments higher) is that we wouldn’t have had the candidates without Trump. He has moved the needle enough to make people think something can be done in DC. Let’s hope that’s right.
I agree, @chriso. I think his willingness to tackle the tough questions is more than any other president has been able or willing to do. Besides, “intelligence” is highly overrated; just look at Clinton and Carter.
No other President would have touched Critical Race Theory.
CBS radio news at 6:00PST just said, “… voting continues and there have been no reports of voter fraud.”
Hilarious. Do not adjust your set. We are now controlling transmission.
Hairy palms.
