@ForecasterEnten The GOP lost the popular vote in 7 or of the last 8 presidential elections which means it’s not a Trump issue, but Trump at least won the WH; McCain/Romney did not. Bush/Obama left their parties with less seats in the House/Senate than did Trump.
.@ForecasterEnten Trump is indeed the first incumbent since GOP Hoover to lose WH/House/Senate in one term, but you ignore that GOP Eisenhower lost the House/Senate in 2 years; GOPs Nixon, Reagan, Bush Sr. never had the House, and W left his party with less seats than Trump.
GOP Senate seats after Nov elections:

52 Trump 2020

53 Trump 2016

45 Romney 2012

41 McCain

55 Bush 2004

50 Bush 2000

55 Dole 1996

43 Bush 1992

45 Bush 1988

53 Reagan 1984

53 Regan 1980

Trump’s numbers meets/beats most of the recent GOP numbers.

H/T @NumbersMuncher
GOP House Seats after Nov Elections

OMG!

Is this sedition or incitement?

Maybe @Liz_Cheney knows.

Source:
The righteous cons who piled onto Trump for wanting to ascertain the integrity of the election did not lose their mimd to this “attack-on-democracy and incitement” by Hillary weeks before the 2020 election to the cheers of @jmpalmieri (former Obama WH Comms Director).
Some people in the conservative movement put hate of Trump over country which is why when Hillary Clinton openly called for Biden to undermine the election results, Cons did not flip out because the victim of such an “attack on democracy and sedition” would be Trump had he won.

The more popular your current political/policy issue is, the bigger the chance that history will see it as wrong. Hence the need to wait for history which sees things diff than what was accepted at the time.

If 80% media noise PR your view, U R likely on wrong side of history.
The term “history will judge so and so” is reserved for people whose current voice is drowned out in the noise of the majorry so they can only wait for history to judge it with a clear eye.

But if the Big Noise is on your side then you are probably on the wrong side of history.
As you can see, history remembers positively the person who refuses to go along with what everyone is doing at the time. If you see yourself on the same side of broad media narratives regarding rights/freedoms then you are probably going to be on the wrong side of history, moron.

Thanks @RepKenBuck @RepThomasMassie @chiproytx. Pelosi’s effort are incitement to some and seeks to overturn the 2016 election. The terms ends next week so let it run its course.
Only 40% polled by Ipsos trust Pelosi to safeguard America’s democracy. Any @HouseGOP’er that goes along with a new impeachment effort is watching too much CNN/MSNBC.
If you are newer to politics you now have a live lesson as to why Nixon resigned and why Clinton survived. Republicans tend to pull to its party Stockholm Syndrome sufferers and push overs; generation to generation.

The censorship started years ago. The issue was when Righteous Cons excused it away as private business taking out Trump Crazies like Alex Jones, and Trump was too selfish to care. Now things are just accelerating.
It was never about Trump or “dangerous radicals.” It was/is about taking out political opponents by giving excuses that make it sound as legit.

That’s how fascists have done it for centuries. Packge the opponent as “dangerous” and 3/4 country agrees with your action.
When freedom-crushing dictators and regimes get to tweet and tweet threats while commentators and officials in the US R banned, you should know that it is not about rules/peace/safety. It’s about crushing political opponents but you Righteous Cons are too dumb to notice. Morons!

Many people in the republican party in Georgia did not go out and vote Tuesday and many conservatives nationally argued that it is time for the Republicans to take it in the chin politically speaking.

It seems that Washington Republicans are trying to prove those voices right.
Many Republicans/Cons released statements the last 24 hours only to accommodate a media narrative. But Democrats are never happy and have now moved the goal posts to demand that Trump should be thrown out of office with two weeks to ago.

Watcha gonna do now, Righteous Cons?
In other words, your political opponent is dictating what is “the right thing to do.” But because they are your opponents and you are their useful idiots they will keep on pushing until you behave like a Dem at which point Democrats may as well win elections. Hence, GA outcome.

Many Cons spent the day comparing a punched out window at the capitol to cities burning from lefty riots.
Two years ago, Libs blocked lawmakers from going in/out of elevators (remember the @JeffFlake moment?), and roamed in restricted areas.

It was during the Kavanaugh hearings. The Hill was essentially stormed but PD did not drop tear gas and shoot and it was cheered on by MSM.
Photos of Capitol buildings in the US being overrun and under siege by lefty Dems over the last decade.

Those things were covered as great activism, and Cons did not attack it as anti-democratic since media didn’t cover it as such. Cons whine about media but parrot media. ImageImageImageImage
