Not sure how anyone can crack jokes right now. We cannot begin to fathom how much damage that speech will do to the long-term health and stability of our country.

I mean, if you spend all your time around people who won't believe a word of what Trump just said, good for you. But that's not the real world. 70 million people just voted for a man who insists that our elections are rigged. Many of those people will believe him. It's harrowing.

And yes, I'm fully aware of Trump's record in other regards. But there is one essential institution in this country, one rampart that separates order from chaos, and it's the ballot box. His assaults on other institutions pale in comparison to that speech.

(11,631 posts)I think this analysis is a little off. Yes what hes doing is dangerous and irresponsible and the militia types with the flags on their trucks may get drunk and stupid. But most of the trumpers dont believe the shit because he says it. They know hes a chronic liar and they know he lost. They voted for trump not because they believe him but because they hate libs and black people worse than they care about the truth.

Hard to overstate how angry Trump's advisers are at Fox right now. Just incandescent.
