Let me get this straight.

Your President goes out of his way to alienate as many people as possible. He relentlessly mocks and belittles his opponents. He blathers incoherently in speeches and contradicts himself.

So he is wildly unpopular for three years.

Then there’s a historic pandemic. Trump denies there’s any problem, and continues to do so for months, while half a million Americans die, and the US economy is in freefall.

Then when he loses the election, because of the massive pile of bodies and then tens of million of lost jobs, you and he just won’t accept it.

Trump brings over 60 lawsuits. All of them are thrown out — mostly by judges that Trump appointed. The lawsuits are ludicrous and contain no information. Even Trump-appointed judges mock them.

Instead of conceding, Trump calls repeatedly for a takeover of the capital. We all saw him do this, so don’t pretend otherwise — official documentation here.

He literally refuses to accept any result for months.

Then he calls for his supporters to defend him, and they overrun the Capitol, smearing shit all over the walls, and killing five.

You’re not a patriot. You’re a traitor. You’re a foul traitor to everything America is about. You’re against Democracy. You hate the Constitution.

Supporting a violent overthrow of the US government by a small, delusional minority of Americans is sedition. It’s also morally foul.

Your President lost because he’s incompetent, because he’s wildly unpopular (and that’s because he’s gone out of his way to alienate absolutely as many people as possible!), because half a million Americans died horribly and unnecessarily, and because tens of millions of jobs were lost.

And instead of admitting, “OK, we completely fucked up in every single possible way here,” you double down and believe a pack of lies so bad even fucking McConnell doesn’t believe them.

You’re a traitor to America, and you are against everything that America stands for. You should go to some country like Russia or China and not foul America for one more second, traitor.
