Have some pride in your country.
Love it, or leave it.
He's no Grover Cleveland.
Many of us love our country and manage to respect the rule of law and desire those who don't try to undermine the democratic process for which we also work hard to maintain and trust. Following someone who wishes to wipe away all other reasons why he can't be president because he found himself in the oh-so-unique position of having less votes than the winner and also lost the electoral college is madness.
Then having those same groupies who are scared of an ever-changing world, ever frightened by possibilities of actual freedoms, to then tell us
ad infinitum that "we don't love our country" is the sort of asinine playground banter we'd all long outgrown around the age of 10. The same chants he prescribed for his political enemies eight years ago now applies to him, and no amount of wiggling out with excuses changes the course of history.
They're both old coots who should be running their Presidental races entirely under safety cars, if you will. The difference is that I have a ton more faith that Biden will be surrounded by those who can handle the difficult duties and tasks somewhat more responsibly, as befitting the figurehead of the executive office. We've seen Trump have enormous egotistical difficulty (to put it very kindly) in passing off executive responsibilities to qualified cabinet individuals and handlers, and had shown repeated verbal distaste for the stature of Presidency with its decorum. It was similar to a know-it-all teenager trying run the country, and then falling back on the Inexperience Excuse because it was same reasoning for electing him in the first place.
America is already a great country. The horrible excuses for leadership amongst our body of elected officials are the ever-deeper cesspit of withered, reprehensible, childish, ignorant morals and lies are the problem. It is not the so-called culture-war ******** these electronic fumblenauts* use as reasons why America has problems, but much of it is due to the spineless jellyfish at the helm. If we keep making a case for electing terrible individuals, you're taking away your own personal rights and freedoms just as much as the side you claim to hate. And honestly, the ones advocating an ignorant, unscientific, greedy, dangerous, one-sided Christian-based theocracy is really unsettling at best, and horrifically ironic at worst.
* this is a made-up word for people who spend their daily lives on social media telling others how to live
