#if they’re gonna allow us to commit voter fraud then we might as well

[officialhouseguest]

perhaps i am wrong but my AFP theory is that FB casuals (cam voters) WILL vote 10x for sure but… once. on their real email and then… close the website and not think about it again. like the twitter fanbase is a small but fervent segment of the audience and with everyone all going so hard with voting for basically one of three or four people as far as i’ve seen (americory, cirie, maybe felicia are basically what i’ve seen but i also muted a lot of blue stans so who knows about her lmao) i’m… not that worried about who wins. if any of those people take it i’m happy and unless CBS bothers to figure out that like, cameronsbiggestfan @imstupid.com and fuckjagbains @yahoo.com are not in fact real email accounts that voted ten times for cirie (not impossible but seems unlikely that they would care about truly any part of this show) then i’m confident one of them is taking it

Here’s the thing though

Now the Democrats are going to have to go back to working with these Republicans who had a hand in nearly getting them killed without any justice whatsoever. I mean, it’s bad enough that they have to work with these people and plead with them to just do their jobs and make some attempt to work for the people that they represent but now they’re going to have to do it without even the consolation of the Republicans admitting that they were wrong and that they betrayed this nation. They were wrong to support Donald Trump’s blatant lies and they put themselves, their colleges and the very foundation of our country in danger. Instead, they reiterated that it’s ok for a president to sic his supporters on anyone who doesn’t agree with him and he can’t be held accountable for that. 

It’s honestly ridiculous that these senators that went on tv and spoke to reporters and pushed Trump’s lies about election fraud got to then be the jury for this trial. I mean, one of the Republicans was tweeting about Nancy Pelosi’s location as the senators were being evacuated. Trump was not alone in riling up this angry mob. Why should you get to judge if someone  is guilty of a crime when you have commited that exact crime yourself? Josh Hawley fucking raised his fist in support and solidarity with that mob. So many of these Republicans refused to acknowledge that Joe Biden won the election fair and square and kept repeating these debunked allegations of voter fraud over and over and over.

The nerve of these people is truly astounding. Mitch McConnell had no problem right after voting not guilty to stand up in the middle of the Senate Floor and say Trump was in fact guilty. Go to hell, sir. I suppose it’s not surprising. We have proof that so many of these people begged Trump to help them and to call off the mob and their pleas went unanswered and even after that  so many of them still voted not to certify the election results. This man literally left them to die and they still chose to be loyal to him.

Even after all the horror that happened on January 6th, you people didn’t even have the decency to be respectful while your coworkers talked about the fear they felt on that day. You ignored them. Acted like you had more important things to do. Accused THEM of going against the constitution. Some of you didn’t even show up. Why the hell should you be allowed to vote if you don’t even hear the whole trial? Normal citizens get arrested if they skip out on jury duty but you go to skip out on the trial to impeach a president and not only did you not get in trouble, you still got to cast a vote to convict him or not? What?

Why?

I don’t understand. What do you think you’re going to gain from this? Have you really not learned after all this time, after what happened on January 6th that this man will never, ever, lift a finger or even open his mouth for you if there is not something in it for him? He doesn’t care about you. His supporters, whose votes you are so desperate for, do not care about you. I’m looking at you Ted Cruz. Your open support for Trump didn’t keep those people from ransacking your office too, did it? And in that moment of confusion, when they thought you “were gonna sell them out all along” they sounded like they were ready to kill you too. I’m looking at you “Little Marco.” I’m looking at you Kevin McCarthy, you who asked Trump to help when your life was potentially in danger and even in that moment, Trump’s only response was that you weren’t doing enough to help HIM steal the election. Let’s just make that clear, shall we. He incited this insurrection because he knew he lost the fair and objective election and sicking and angry and delusional mob on you was his last ditch effort at holding on to power. “Maybe they care more about the election than you do?” He might as well have said that you deserved whatever was happening to you because you hadn’t done enough for him. In truth, he wanted you to be rioting right along with those people. He left you to die and you still voted to not certify the election results.

We don’t always get along with the people we work with. That’s just a part of life. But how can you just sit there sullenly while you see those people along with yourselves, come that close to death? How can anyone be this cold? This cruel? You can’t all be sociopathic. Did you really not care or were you just too traumatized to watch those videos? Or maybe you were just too ashamed to admit the truth that it was an attack incited by Trump and you just didn’t want to admit that he’s guilty? 

Maybe you’re just truly that spineless. Still bowing to the will of a man that no longer has any power. That was silenced by the social media platforms he was using to spread his hate and violence because those private companies were brave enough to stand up to him and tell him enough is enough and call him out on his crime.

You have embarrassed yourselves. You have disgraced our country. You have betrayed our democracy.

You people wanna run for President in 2024? Who’s going to vote you? Certainly not any of these Trump supporters if he decides to run again. You made sure he has that option. Why should anyone vote for you? You clearly don’t have respect for democracy when you go spouting lies just because the liar in chief tells you too. You don’t have any respect for your colleagues who you ignored throughout this trial and accused of going against the constitution. You don’t even have respect for yourselves. Otherwise, you wouldn’t have continued to support the man that told an angry mob to go attack you.

Why should anyone vote for you? How can any voter ever expect you to stand up for them when you can’t even stand up for yourselves?
