    If you are going to claim "rigged election" and not come off as an asshole you can't lose by 2,000,000 plus votes in an election where only 9,000,000 were cast. Trump has done the country a favor.
    Hopefully, the absurdity of his pre-election claim of fraud will have a fallout effect both on the false rigging claims of his own election and on the use of the claim in future elections. Dopes like Grumpy will never be convinced but the idea isn't to persuade the most committed Trumpers. It's to make the rigging claim untenable to ordinary voters.

    Why do you think it's proof of "socialism"? Is that like the "one drop of blood theory" for communists?

    The below picture is capitalism, but reality is a bit more complicated when talking about governments and economies.

    Right now COVID and reality are the main enemies of Red State Governors. The favorability of both Abbot and DeSantis goes down every time their body count goes up. Not just because of the unnecessary dead, much less the stories of children dying because some antivaxxer fuckwad were holding the ICU beds. Mainly because the survivors are going to blame the people who lied to them and vote accordingly.

    God bless America and those who defend our Constitution.

    Still, that's the trend and I'm surprised Elder didn't cross that line. Good for him.

    So laws in your state that ban murder is the "Nanny State"?

    The more we drill down into your positions, the less articulate they become; that's not a coincidence.
    Nanny state
    Nanny state is a term of British origin that conveys a view that a government or its policies are overprotective or interfering unduly with personal choice. The term likens such a government to the role that a nanny has in child rearing.

    Why do you give a shit if I'm shooting pigs with my AK-47 in North Texas? Why are you supporting laws that would restrict my right to kill very destructive vermin....and BBQing a few?

    Ah, so "Nanny State" is a bit like "Conservatism" in that its definition and parameters change depending on what your argument is at any given time.

    Wouldn't all laws be "Nanny State"?

    Also, what you're saying here is that "Nanny State" is wholly subjective...which is why the goalposts move on it, right?

    After all, it's a good, lazy, catch-all term for anything you deem as overreach because you don't want to deal with it since "dealing with it" would require work and effort.

    Because one day, you're going to forget where you put that AK-47, and it's going to disappear...and when it does, there's a 15% chance that you won't even tell the cops.

    So then that disappearing AK-47 finds its way to a criminal or criminal organization, who use it and end up killing people.

    OR, it gets sold via straw purchase by whoever stole it to a "very fine person" who ends up using it to commit a mass shooting.

    So that's why I give a shit...I don't want to eventually go back to the movies and see the latest Marvel film, only to get gunned down in my seat by a "very fine person"/"Responsible gun owner" who was having a bad day, but was able to get a gun because you weren't responsible.

    Your problem is all you have are conspiracies based on your own ignorance, and no proof of fraud that would change the results. Kind of like your childish claim that trump would take 40 States. Just wishful thinking, and childish dreams.
