Remove “specifically”. Apologies for not fully cleaning it up. I was originally going to say “..., specifically in Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin to announce...”I've read this post 5 times now trying to make sense of it... it's not coming to me. I must be a dupe.I’m still waiting for the flood of Trump voters, specifically to announce they were intending to vote for Hillary until duped by Facebook ads.Actually, *ahem* it's more like 1-in-5.Like 2% of Americans are even on Twitter.
But the biggest social media outlet that was exploited in the Russia campaign was Facebook, where around 70% of Americans have accounts.

Fine I’ll rephrase it. Only one party consistently bemoans election results and refuses to accept them. 2018, 2016, 2000,I didn’t know the RNC slogans and official position was Obama wasn’t a citizen."Yes, only one party questions the legitimacy of the sitting president. "
- person in a coma between 2009 and 2017take the L on that one nobody. You can admit that Sarah Abrams and those who still repeat her belief that she lost an illegitimate election are smoking crack and also understand that the Head of the Republican party, the man sitting in the Oval Office, basically got his second political life by continuously moaning that Obama was a Kenyan Muslim."Yes, only one party questions the legitimacy of the sitting president. "

I often wonder if Obama hadn't berated him so badly at the Correspondence dinner if we'd have a Trump presidency at all.

I would think calling the person elected or the election results illegitimate constantly would apply to refusing to accept the results.Define "refuses to accept them"...

So there were mass protests for weeks, months and the years following the elections of Obama by tens or hundreds of thousands of people that were angry about the results?Everything you are saying applies to the GOP under Obama. I don't understand how this is escaping you.I would think calling the person elected or the election results illegitimate constantly would apply to refusing to accept the results.Define "refuses to accept them"...

Trump has constantly called into question the results of the 2016 election. Remember the millions of votes that went to Hillary and how he actually won the popular vote? And that was in an election that he actually won.I would think calling the person elected or the election results illegitimate constantly would apply to refusing to accept the results.Define "refuses to accept them"...
No one here or any real person believes that the election results are illegitimate, let alone says so constantly. The results are what they are. Now, did Russia help Trump? Sure! Of course. If you say no, you're just a moron. Did it win him the election? Debatable. But at the end of the day, the results are what they are.

You might find 1 in 100,000 people that actually even give that a seconds worth of thought if you ask anyone besides journos and twitter.
Same with the impeachment. I can't think of single instance I've heard someone in real life even mention anything about Trump outside of this thread and social media.

One of our engineers just sent an e-mail to the whole company about Trump coming to Hershey and how to get free tickets... fun times.

I would say yes-and-no on his efficiency. While he did accomplish the tax cuts and has made some great judicial nominations (FedSoc represent!), he failed to deliver on the border wall and hasn't moved the needle much on immigration, largely due to his executive orders being enjoined by the courts. Still, as I've long maintained, the policies of the Trump administration are—for the most part—fairly standard Republican policy positions. IMO, the majority of the opposition to Trump is personal hatred of Trump himself.I kind of don't want to get into a profound discussion of Trump, but IMO his first presidential term so far has been extremely efficient.
People who voted for him to get conservative judge(s) on the Supreme Court - delivered.
People who voted for him to cut taxes - delivered
People who voted for him to increase deregulation - delivered
People who voted for him to increase US protectionism - delivered
People who voted for him to increase US isolationism - delivered
All while the by far No. 1 determinant of re-election in all major statistical models covering all possible periods - stock market performance - massively increased.
IMO if a "standard Republican" President was able to deliver all of the above, he/she would be very popular and the re-election chances would be in high 70's-80s....

Combine this with him trying to stuff his (and his family's) pockets with money while consistently trying to point out how corrupt the system is, I'd say it's pretty spot on.

I would have loved to see that article. Because up until now all the stats I've heard was basically that Trump did in three months what Obama did in over a year, and that families weren't separated.

I think though that the sentiment being expressed here encapsulates the impeachment drama. When the justification boils down for the acceptance of the breakdown in the separation of powers to keeping the opposition party down, then you're leaning in to fascism. At least that's how I see it, I haven't seen anyone bring up fascism regarding it.That it doesn't matter if its quotes from Rich Lowry or the neckbeards over at Vox. It doesnt make being on the edge of facism any more true.
