Election Day [Week][Month[s]] [Year] 2020 follow-along thread

I have more than “a little” fear of them. Dumber than dogshit, angry as hell, and likely as not armed and dangerous.

Haha! I just started doing that, too! :+1:t4:

I love you guys.

I agree with Trump’s portrait going up too. I’d love to have him erased from history but that’s not the way we do things. Let’s try to set an example–as hard as that may be.

Yup. We have a ton of Trump signs in my neighborhood along with, “Don’t Tread on Me” and confederate flags and vehicles with stickers all over about how eager they are to shoot people with their stash of guns. I stay as far away from them as possible and try not to provoke them.

Some portraits are people who are good examples, some are people who are terrible lessons.

Putting up the 2 presidential portraits you have that side by side.

SWEET! :kissing_heart:

Can we draw little horns on his head with a Sharpie?

Lol.

I’m not getting into an Andrew Jackson debate, but of all American Presidents he most resembles Trump in his arrogant racism, his disregard and destruction of the institutions of his day, his shameless white nationalism, his presidency allowed via a popularity and success in fields which are not grooming grounds for the Presidency (and more than a bit of luck), and his ignorance of major policy issues beyond those which furthered his ends.

But this isn’t the thread

It is so wonderful to see all the congratulatory messages being sent by so many world leaders. My heart is healing.

I haven’t felt much emotion other than relief, but I gotta admit when I saw a video of the party going down in West Philly, with all the passing cars honking in celebration, I teared up.

Just saw the clip of Van Jones and did the same

The entire world was able to take a breath again. Most of the leaders know and trust Biden. This will make it a bit easier for them to trust what is coming out of the u.s…

Fair, and agreed. Almost reported my own post as a hijack, even.

Welcome home, Mr. President. How was your golf game?

I wonder if Melania has moved out yet?

I don’t want Trump erased from history. That’d be impossible. But while I was half-joking about his official portrait, I’d certainly appreciate a long wait before his portrait is hung, not because I opposed him, but because there will be people passing by that portrait every day to whom the fear and pain wrought by his presidency are still very fresh and very real.

Barring that, perhaps a tradition of turning one’s head or murmuring, “A grave mistake was he,” when passing Trump’s portrait could be established to temper the blow.

Shamelessly stolen from somebody else:

We can all start wearing our MAGA hats now.

ASSHOLE

AWAY

Trump: Look! They’re gesturing I’m number one! And listen! They’re saying, “You! You! You! You’re some kind of rich!”
