you mean they overreacted. imagine that.
Maybe it was at stake and the crisis was averted. This certainly could have been a very different morning for sure. But yeah, fear sells products and fear motivates votes.
Kinda like convincing yourself that Desantis is more dangerous than Trump?

Hey, if you don't see it, that's on you. It's certainly not surprising.

I would guess the chances/odds are 35/65 he will NOT serve another 6 years.

…It’s worth noting for context that while many prominent GOP candidates did the right thing, and should be recognized for doing do, some in the party were far less responsible. And with some races yet to be called — Arizona’s Kari Lake, I’m looking in your direction — it’s entirely possible that the public will soon hear another round of dangerous election denialism.

But it’s nevertheless true that prominent Trump-aligned candidates are rejecting the former president’s example and honoring the will of the voters. I wouldn’t be surprised if some online tantrums from Mar-a-Lago soon follow.

These concessions were far from assured. Too many Republicans hedged in recent months when asked whether they’d accept the legitimacy of the official vote tallies. The fact they ended up conceding comes as a relief.

But therein lies the larger concern: This relief shouldn’t be necessary...
Have we fallen into a mesmerized state that makes us accept as inevitable that which is inferior or detrimental, as though having lost the will or the vision to demand that which is good?

If anyone truly cared about her they would advise her to stop tweeting and/or hire someone with a brain to read (and edit) her tweets before she sends them.

Don’t know enough to not speak ill of the intellectual might of our next VP candidate?? She’s among the select few who can supplant Sarah Palin as the most dangerous person ever to be nominated for the office
