Biden Takes Georgia; Violence on Horizon

[subgenius]

You don't experience the election of Joe Biden as an existential threat. But what if you did? We haven't gotten to the point that the Hutus did. We haven't dehumanized each other to the point that we describe each other as cockroaches. But once dehumanization starts, it's hard to stop.

You guys literally claimed existential threat in November of 2016...and for 48 months you have dehumanized Trump and Trump supporters - all of which is well documented on the discussion board emeritus - and as evidenced on this thread, you guys have found it "hard to stop".

Kind of my point. The dehumanization is rampant on both sides. The only piece of the process that I see as asymmetric is talk radio.

Is it asymmetric when grouped with "talk television "?

Edit: Remember this is brought to you by the folks who were so incompetent they booked the Four Seasons landscaping company instead of the Four Seasons hotel for a presser, and even upon learning of their mistake just said, “[vulgarity] it. Our supporters are too stupid to care anyway.”

Once again ---oOo--- just says something and now it's all better. See how that works? If you just say things then those things exist and unless someone takes to time to counter the thing said it stands as testament to being right, whatever that means in the mind of a ---oOo----.

And how true that turned out to be. Four years later and a quarter million dead Americans, most of which could have been avoided had we an adult in leadership at the time.

Yes. The decades long effort of right-wing talk-radio to instill fear, anger and resentment in a substantial portion of the U.S. population has no equivalent on the left. I don't point that out as part of any "blame game," which I consider a distraction and complete waste of time. I start from the proposition that dehumanization is what makes events like the Rwandan genocide, the holocaust, and the Cambodian killing fields possible. I see dehumanization of other Americans as an increasing trend. And if we can't get real about the actual mechanisms, there is no chance of reversing the trend.

Right now, it's been mostly one side that has been buying guns like hotcakes. To me, that's a barometer of the degree that the right-wing radio propaganda campaign has been successful. But that's changing. I've got friends and family buying guns to protect themselves, not from criminals and thugs, but from their neighbors.

Fox News has started to see the danger in what they've done. They've endlessly amplified baseless claims made by the president and his various spokespeople for four years. Now, they're cutting away from press conferences because the press secretary is making baseless claims about election fraud. The Murdochs understand that there's money to be made from encouraging Americans to hate and fear each other, but only to a point. Blood in the streets is bad for business.

The proven statistical anomalies merit investigation and easily justify dismissing your venmo-seeking-tinfoilhat compilation of anecdotes being propped up as "debunk".
If there is no problem in your opinion then why would you object to a legal inquiry ? Voter fraud is determined by courts not by newspapers and Reddit nerds trying to fund their comic book collection.

I don't see people objecting to legal inquiry. I see people, even Republicans, objecting to the idiotic "News by a thousand rumors" method that has defined this administration as well as its propaganda wing. Just yesterday James Carville said he welcomes a recount in every state because Trump deserves to lose the popular vote three times. I see people complaining that the administration is refusing to help the incoming administration transition in because it doesn't want to piss off the orange moron.

The fact is there is no evidence of widespread fraud beyond what we normally see every election cycle. Calling them "irregularities" or "anomalies" is just a deceptive way of saying you have no evidence of fraud, but you're going to keep howling at the moon about it because that's what your orange leader keeps tweeting.

Actual quotes from the Trump lawsuits:

“I’m declaring that I'm not deciding this case on a technicality or some esoteric legal principle . . . Rather, I’m deciding that the plaintiffs have not come to the court at this point with sufficient legal showing and sufficient evidentiary basis.”--Judge Andrew Gordon, United States District Court for the District of Nevada 11/6/20

"What we have are claims about votes that maybe or have been submitted that are or may not be legitimate. This court finds that while there are assertions made by the plaintiffs that there is no evidence in support of those assertions." Judge Timothy Kenny, Chief Judge of Michigan’s Third Circuit Court 11/6/20

“This “supplemental evidence” [a yellow post-it note] is inadmissible as hearsay. The assertion that Connarn was informed by an unknown individual what “other hired poll workers at her table” had been told is inadmissible hearsay within hearsay.”--Judge Cynthia Stephens, Michigan Court of Appeals, 11/6/20

Judge Diamond: Are your observers in the counting room?
Trump lawyer: "There's a non zero number of people in the room"
Diamond: "I’m asking you as a member of the bar of this court: are people representing the Donald J Trump for president, representing the plaintiffs, in that room?"
Trump campaign lawyer: "Yes."
Diamond: "I'm sorry, then what's your problem?"

--Judge Paul S. Diamond, United States District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania, 11/5/20

There is no damned way the —-oOo—- read anything from the link. Instead we’re treated to some more —-oOo——‘ing that has literally zero to do with anything linked. It’s akin to bringing up Pelosi when doing so has nothing to do with anything. Oh, well. Can’t stop ——oOo—— from ——oOo——‘ing.
