Lets suppose Biden is inaugurated (not a given, even at this late date). Biden will have four tough years, years in which the great right wing echo machine will promote more seditionist ideas. Hell be thwarted to the fullest extent of Republicans abilities, which will remain substantial. Attacks on him and all Democrats will escalate.
In four years theyll be back with a vengeance, with a better candidate, more money, and more desire for vengeanceagainst you and me.
Now is the time to make it clear that our side wont stand for it. We have to show ourselves that we will stand and fight. Our congresspeople need to show leadership. One or two of them standing up and showing real outrage as the outrage unfolds isnt too much to ask.
Ask yourself, if you were there, would just sit with your hands folded and take it? I wouldnt.
