The Babylon Bee is unfunny right wing trash, but the Democrats walked right into this one. You can't tell us Trump is a threat to democracy and then peacefully transfer power to him.

Refusing to peacefully transfer power would be the end of democracy.
I think we might be past that already
Tell me, what happened the last time Trump was told to peacefully transfer power?
If you believe trump intends to end democracy, then democracy is already over regardless of if you peacefully transfer power or not.
The truth is liberals have always been the path to fascism. After the death of the US no liberal nor fascist should ever be allowed near power again.
Instead, we're in the Coda of Democracy.
The US is a capitalist dictatorship, not a democracy.
I hate Babylon Bee, but a broken clock & all that.
Either this situation isn’t as bad as they said it would be during the campaign (which is what Babylon Bee is implying) or it IS as bad as they said it is, and they’re letting it happen anyways.
Either way, they’re spineless fucking liars.
Theres two main reasons not to stop it from happening:
-
It would make the DNC as bad as the GOP
-
The people don't really deserve more help, tbh.
For point 2: What about people who voted for Harris and who will definitely be persecuted under republican domestic policy? What about people in other countries who will suffer and die from republican foreign policy? What about everyone on the planet who will suffer even more from climate change due to republican environmental policy?
THE PEOPLE. All of them. THE MAJORITY OF EVERYONE. They chose as a country, as one whole. Imagine if that was you up there and they chose that old piece of dogshit over you, would you be in a generous mood to lay down your life for them?
Of the 261 million adults in the US, about 73.5 million of them voted for Trump. That's about 28%. When factoring in non-adults, that number goes to just under 22%. That's not anywhere close to a majority.
Not voting when you are able to was as bad as voting for Trump. The sample size of 73.5 Million, not even including abstainers, is enough to draw conclusions about the mentality of the larger population of the USA.
Not everyone voted for Orange Mussolini yk
Libs before the election: Trump is a fascist! He must be stopped! He'll destroy our democracy!
Libs after the election: Congrats to Trump! We'll be meeting soon to discuss the peaceful exchange of powers and our broadly overlapping interests.
From the article:
"It's my responsibility to make sure this tyrannical despot assumes power," Harris told the crowd of supporters after officially conceding the race. "Though he will end freedom itself in this country, imprison anyone who disagrees with him, systematically murder all women, and go door to door kicking everyone's dogs, I promise to make sure there is a peaceful transition of power."
The media hailed Harris's brilliance and the leadership she displayed while conceding to a man who is literally Hitler.
Good old right wing "humor" (punching down on everyone else because they consider everyone else beneath them). We're all going to be seeing a lot of this type of "humor" (lynchings, book burning, singing about how wonderful being dictated to is) in the next 10 years or so.
The BabylonBee is terrible but it's not a lynching FFS.
"Hang Mike Pence"
Did you forget?
It's called leading through example, because the MAGA cult is so good at following the examples given to them.
A millennia old Arabic saying goes something like: "If you honor the generous, you will own him... but if you honor the ignoble, he will rebel." We all know leading through example is wasted on people like Trump.
It's this that's she's emphasizing:
He needs to put forth an ethics plan to start the transition process. Part of that ethics plan requires him to say he will transfer power peacefully.
It was required to be created before the election. So it's pretty obvious they don't care.
I'm fact I'll go as far as to say its intentional. They will scream that Biden is resisting the transition, trying to stage a coup, etc etc. The antics won't stop just because he got elected.
I assume everything Trump does at this point forward will be to benefit Russia and to start a civil war within the US.
I think the last few years have pretty much proven he doesn't 'need' to do anything.
Sure, because he is a foreign asset meant to transfer wealth to Russia from the US and destroy the US from within. It only benefits him to harm our country.
But yes a competent leader would want things like info from those agencies and intelligence briefings etc so they are prepared on Jan 20.
Make sure Joe pardons the fuck out everybody on your way out. Also he should resign if only to fuck with their merch.
