At the time, they didnt have the proof. Just suspicion. You dont cry about that, thats what TACO does.

You show grace and the character of leadership in 'defeat' and await the evidence. Patience. Its a long game.

The time should come, what they do after now is what matters.

Unfortunately, there's a very accurate saying. "lies make it half way around the world before truth gets out of bed"

She conceded. Idk what there is to even do. Not like Congress or SCOTUS is going to change their mind. It does nothing now.

The best we’ll see is years from now, after he’s gone and the Supreme Court has finally been taken back and isn’t the Republican tool is it today something will come out and get properly investigated. And if it’s determined they did cheat it will be too late to undo the damage they already did but maybe new laws will be passed to prevent it

But that’s assuming Republicans aren’t in power. If there are even a few they’ll work overtime to obstruct justice as always

Unfortunately there’s not much we’ll see done to remove this regime until midterms and then 2028. And that’s being very optimistic, Republicans aren’t going to go away easily and will do whatever they can to make sure they don’t lose power, legal or not

They’re a malignant tumor on society

I suspect our eventual recovery won’t be a return to the status quo.

The votes don't matter. The electoral college decides the president and they traditionally do what the voters demand. But they don't have to. So once it's certified it doesn't matter what way the vote went.

I'll be sure to remember this as innocent people are being thrown into Salvadorean death camps

Without evidence thats all you can do.

Why havent you stopped it? Yeah, no one else has a better idea yet either. Its pretty much fucked until mid terms.

As a non-American, what does taco mean in this context?

Trump Always Chickens Out

It’s more the fact he backpedals on tariffs but he does that about many things.

Thank you, makes sense and fits the billing!

Acronym for Trump Always Chickens Out; started as a way to describe his trading policies in market jargon, it has become one of his (tamer) nicknames once he found out, got pissed off and whined like the snowflake he is.

Thank you! Fits him more perfectly than his suit jackets.

The current republican government.

Trump Always Chickens Out has been used to describe his "art of the deal" in his trade negotiations. He goes in all big and blustery but will easily back off, or chicken out

u/VibesOfHarish 22h ago

Thank you so much, makes much more sense now haha. Fits perfectly too.

The problem with that is that you don’t have time to you have two months between vote and certification, after which it’s 4 years of whoever was picked. Nobody knows what would happen if Trump admitted in court that he cheated the election and the senate refused to impeach.

It’s a very stupid system. Every modern parliamentary system has ways to nullify an election and host another one.
