If you have to "go figure" how, after saying no male, white, Christian heterosexual should hold office, Democrats went ahead and elected one . . . maybe that is not what they said.

Well, perhaps youтАЩve missed the multiple articles and opinion pieces stating, as this HuffPost piece put it: тАЬWhite Men Must Be Stopped:The Very Future of Mankind Depends On ItтАЭ, or the NYTimes piece: тАЬThe Next President Should Not Be A ManтАЭ, and тАЬShould a White Male Be the Face of the Democrat PartyтАЭ, or perhaps you didnтАЩt see the Stacey Abrams supporters shouting down Stacy Evans supporters at an Evans rally with t-shirts saying тАЬElect Black WomenтАЭ, or the Vox piece entitled тАЬCongress is more diverse, but itтАЩs still pretty whiteтАЭ...maybe you missed the claims made by NPR that unless Biden picked a black woman for a running mate, he would lose to Trump.
But just because you havenтАЩt seen them, doesnтАЩt mean they donтАЩt exist.
Should I look at what your fellow Trump supporters did and attribute that to the entire Republican Party? To the contrary, they no more represent the sentiments of all Republicans than what a few knuckleheads have written about white men says about of all Democrats.
What IS representative of a Democratic perspective is that which a majority of them did: They elected a male, white, Christian heterosexual.
Have you been paying attention to what the Democrats in Congress are saying? They already ARE attributing what happened at the Capitol to the entire Republican Party, despite loud and vocal condemnation of the violence by conservatives and Republicans.
Do you see Republican members of Congress donating to fund bail for the DC rioters? If you do, please let me know so I can excoriate them publicly.
Biden was picked to ride in on ObamaтАЩs coattails. And...even Biden himself has called it the тАЬHarris administrationтАЭ and referred to Kamala as the тАЬPresident electтАЭ. Not hard to see where this is going.
But you believe what you wish...your partyтАЩs leaders have no desire for unity, only elimination of dissent. As Robert H. Jackson said:
тАЬThose who begin coercive elimination of dissent soon find themselves exterminating dissenters. Compulsory unification of opinion achieves only the unanimity of the graveyard.тАЭ
I should add that I don't believe that Democrats are blaming all Republicans in Congress: just those who persisted in challenging the election EVEN AFTER the overall effort had resulted in the first assault on our national seat of government in more than 200 years.
They absolutely had to do that. If they allowed them to end the political process of challenging the election...thatтАЩs giving into terrorism and encouraging others to take similar action whenever they want to call a halt to anything.
But...it wasnтАЩt the first assault at the Capitol. Lolita Lebrun and her fellow Puerto Rican activists shot five Congressmen at the Capitol in 1954 over an immigration bill. She was sentenced to 50 years, Jimmy Carter commuted her sentence after 25 years, and she went back to Puerto Rico to continue her тАЬactivismтАЭ. Her portrait is in the Smithsonian, honored as a тАЬfreedom fighterтАЭ.
Then there was Susan Rosenbaum in 1983, member of a terrorist group associated with the Weather Underground that bombed the Capitol Building in an unsuccessful attempt to kill Senate Republicans...Clinton commuted her sentence and sheтАЩs now fundraising for BLM.
No, I'm not saying all Democrats are bad people. I know many that I am very fond of, and they are genuinely caring and good people.
But there is, whether you see it or not, a vast amount of prejudice, bigotry and hate towards white Christian males coming from the Left, and their "identity politics" is causing more hate and division than this country can stand.
Put the term "white Christian males" in your search engine...read some of the articles that pop up.
During the Kavanaugh hearings, there were complaints...loud and vocal complaints...that there were so many "old, white men" on the Committee.

A lot of what you wrote is not what they've said.
Likewise, a lot of what people say Trump said...is not what he said.
Until we can all discuss from the same facts...we simply won't get anywhere.

The term "stuck on stupid" comes to mind.
@Neil....Merleliz has you beat in this debate.
Dems challenged the 2016 election, but that doesn't count, right?
Not unless it immediately followed an insurrection that was sparked by the substance of those objections.
They absolutely had to do that. If they allowed them to end the political process of challenging the election...thatтАЩs giving into terrorism and encouraging others to take similar action whenever they want to call a halt to anything.

OK, I get it. Democrats are bad people. My only point was that Democrats have nothing against male, white, Christian heterosexuals.
@Neil.......Merleliz really really has you тАЬspankedтАЭ.
