Michael Flynn actual promoted a coup when speaking at a conference in June...(is that too old?)... I'd like to see the sample data of where that "3 out of 10 Republicans" comes from. If it was a survey from a bar in Arkansas, sure... but nobody I know is that delusional. Also, it's a bit of a reach to go from some random survey (who knows how the question or questions were actually framed or to whom) to "tHe rIgHt wAnTs a cOuP!!!" That's you projecting/editorializing based upon your bias, not necessarily anything indicative of reality. P.S. I don't consider Michael Flynn to be either mainstream or objective... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And you're not editorializing based on your bias when you dismiss it out of hand or blame the left for anything even remotely critical of your party.... PS. You can discount people like Flynn but that does not diminish their influence. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Yeah every time I hear the right wingers talk about getting rid of Biden and bringing back Trump, of invalidating the election results, I can't help but think they no longer want to live in a democracy......it is dangerous talk IMO.." That goes a bit beyond "anything even remotely critical". You just lumped us all together and called us dangerous; typical lefty tactics. There was no nuance there at all. You painted everyone on the right with one giant brush. So yeah, I'm going to call out your bullshit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's only bullshit if you are blind to threats to democracy and I don't care from which direction the threats come be they left or right....talk of coups by people is dangerous and the fact that it is happening and the numbers are not insignificant should concern everyone...

Glen Posted September 5, 2021 Report Share Posted September 5, 2021 1 hour ago, heavyharmonies said: The ship done sailed on the audits, overturning shit, etc. (not to say that there weren't legitimate reasons to audit the votes gievn the bullshit that went on). Ironically, the ones "invalidating legitimate election results" were actually the Dems, casting... err, "discovering" thousands of ballots in the middle of the night on and after the election. oh dear. They would be the legal mail in ballots yeah. You know the ones which Trump told his supporters, specifically not to do. Please stop banging on about fraudulent elections. No fraud took place, every case was thrown out for no evidence. The votes were re-counted every which way, even manually. Even the Republicans in the states concerned distanced themselves from the allegations cos they were bullshit. He even investigated the election he won saying it fraudulent and found no evidence then either. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here in the U.S. it isn't... actually, most "common sense" issues/arguments aren't common here at all. Every attempt to get voter ID laws passed down here is immediately portrayed by the Left as racist. It's in the Left's best interests to allow voting by illegal immigrants, so they use the racist angle to shut down any discussion/debate. The irony is that the implicit assumption that people of color cannot obtain or afford photo IDs is inherently racist. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't see the racism in voter IDs...and seems to me at least in the red states they should be able to pass laws for voter IDs and it would not be long before everyone followed suit...after all if you can pass a law that prevents you from giving water to people standing in line to vote then you should be able to pass just about any law you want....

It is required in almost all the red states, its the blue states who wont do it, so lets ask this, if somebody doesnt want voter ID laws passed nationally which is what they are trying to do, and they are on the up and up, what would be the problem with it?

People who arent legal dont have ID's so how would they be able to vote? they wouldnt, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I understand your point but I can't help but think that it is a good idea for people to be reminded every 4 years that they live in a democracy and that they should be participating in that democracy through voting in elections...here in Canada we are usually lucky to get 50-55% of eligible voters to actually vote and that is not acceptable IMO...it should be considered a duty and honor to vote and too many people are indifferent these days....democracy in only as strong as the people who support it...

Do you mean Biden? you forgot Plagiarizer to, seeing he almost ripped off one speech word by word. And nobody here said Trump doesnt lie, show me where I said that, you talked about people thinking the 2020 election was rigged, and it's Trump, and he's followers, and I told you much like the democrats did for 4 straight years, and nothing you can show me proves that different, cause it's the truth, 4 years, they did nothing, just tried to get him out of office, so the snarky remarks about people or trump thinking the 2020 election was rigged is kind of moot dont you think, unless you also go back to his 4 yrs and also bring that up. BTW, the situations that came out of the 2020 election by themselves could add to that whole scenario, I mean 81 million votes for a guy who never even left his basement to campaign, if you ignore that your either sadly brainwashed, or a Biden crony.

Not me, not in the US you know why? because the intelligence of most of the population is seriously retarded, I dont want those fuckers voting, they dont vote for a reason, because their fucking retards, and they have no concept of democracy or voting or what the candidates stand for, their just brain dead solid matter, I would rather let the illegals vote then make the us population vote.
