Sobering food for thought.  Comments?

Democrats Are Not Going To Relinquish Power Peacefully

 

[...] In the face of a massive electoral loss, then, do you really think a political party that has aligned itself with elite interests and woke morality, that controls the White House and the administrative bureaucracy, that is supported by corporate media and Big Tech (with the recent exception of Elon Musk's Twitter) is going to simply relinquish that power?  Hand it over to the very people it has been decrying as the destroyers of our democracy?  [...]

If the final vote tallies (which won’t be until 2023) show the Democrats lost the mid terms, I don’t expected Democrats to admit defeat, such like they didn’t in 2004 and 2016. The aftermath of  2016 unleashed months of violence and it will be more of the same. 
 

That’s a big if though.

If tallies won't be final till 2023, the Democrats will have magically found enough votes to have won "the safest, most secure election since 2020."

They always do:

Franken lost on election night. And he kept finding votes and took office the second half of 2009. 
 

Now lest you think a mediocre comedian learned how to steal elections on his first go at elected office we must give credit to:

 

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/2004_Washington_gubernatorial_election
 

After the initial  count and  one recounts, the Republican was declared the winner. Then there was a hand recount and the Democrats found bags of ballots.  Felons were discovered to have voted as well and all such  votes were allowed.
 

Democrats learned lots of lessons from Gore’s clumsy attempt to steal the 2000 election.

Hmm, I heard only Republicans are election deniers.

Stacey Abrams still can't deny that she won the Ga. gubernatorial election last time!

Stacy Abrams refusing to accept the results of an election is a brave stand by a patriotic civil rights champion to preserve our democracy. 

 

Trump questioning an election is the mad ravings of a xenophobic fascist.

It’s the worst threat to the democracy ever. Worst than:

 

The British aggression on the revolutionary war. 
 

British Invasion of USA in the war of 1812. 
 

British returning  Detroit to the USA. Jury is still out if democracy will survive that.  
 

The American civil war 

 

The assassination of Lincoln 

The attack on Pearl Harbor  by  a fascist foreign power.  
 

The conquest of U.S. territory (Philippines, Guam, and part of Alaska) by a fascist foreign power 

 

The fabricated  “evidence” for invading Iraq by the CIA
