Because you know, as we've been told repeatedly over the past year, the president doesn't seem to do anything really...
It's someone else's fault for COVID.
It's someone else's fault for government shutdowns.
It's someone else's fault for the riots.
It's Obama's fault for... everything.
And what is the value of the thing supposedly being stolen? It's not exactly the Hope Diamond being swiped here: An office propped up by Putinists, white nationalists, and the people outraged, not by school shootings, but by the students outraged that school shootings are happening. And an office very few people, including the current president himself, have very little to no respect for.
So to sum it up; there was a massive conspiracy involving George Soros, Dominion Voting Systems, millions of Democratic voters, the media, judges who litigated against Trump, the deep state, the governments of Venezuela and China, antifa (Because why not), the electors of the electoral college, and probably countless others I am forgetting about to steal the one political office that according to supporters of the current president is the most toothless and powerless office in the land, the one office that has consistently passed the buck to someone else over the pressing issues of the day.
Is it "stealing"? Or are we just taking the unfair burden from Trump and his supporters?
Trump and his supporters were wailing over the past year about taking no responsibility at all.
To them, I think we should say:
Come, we will lift your heavy office off of your heads. You need to worry about this powerless office that has someone else REALLY be responsible for the things Trump does or does not do any longer. We are relieving you of this toothless monstrosity.

(17,467 posts)They live on the planet Htrae, described in the Superman comic books as Bizarro World. Everything is backwards, so that stop the steal actually means start the steal. A world where Liberals won't listen to facts and Nazis are patriots. It is a world where truth is lie, and good is evil. A place where rumor is more important than fact.
When I was a kid, I thought that it was a fictional world.....
