7 issues splitting American votes. Interesting graphic showing how people who felt certain ways voted.

Maybe? Who can tell what would have happened?

Same crazy right winger on FB I mentioned elsewhere claiming this would be a week to remember posted "Red 1" an hour ago. Whatever the fuck that means.

The MSM, the elitism by our elected "leaders", a clinically insane president, and social media are responsible for this mess.

Time to invoke the 25th amendment?
The head of the National Association of Manufacturers, a group representing 14,000 companies in the U.S., on Wednesday said clashes in Washington that interrupted a Congressional gathering to certify Electoral College results of the 2020 presidential election were “not the vision of America that manufacturers believe in” and called on Vice President Pence to “seriously consider” invoking the 25th Amendment of the Constitution to remove President Donald Trump from office.

The statement came as the Business Roundtable and leaders such as Citi CEO Michael Corbat and Salesforce CEO Marc Benioff condemned the acts.

Jay Timmons, the group’s president and CEO and a former executive director of the National Republican Senatorial Committee, pointed to the millions of people in manufacturing jobs who are working to fight the coronavirus pandemic, which brought on an economic recession.

Last year the group gave an award to President Donald Trump’s daughter Ivanka Trump for “extraordinary support” of manufacturing in America.

Speaking politically, invoking the 25th would be a huge face save for the Rs.

Speaking as a citizen, I would have no objection to them doing it. I think it's quite clear Trump hasn't been doing his job since at least Nov 7th, and has actually done more to harm the nation than not.

Speaking as someone who just enjoys chaos sometimes, how boring will the next four years be compared to these four? :D

I told the wife tonight that if a single good thing could come out of this "not a coup" it would be that members of Congress would realize there are a lot of pissed off crazies willing to commit violence. Maybe that would keep them a little honest... :D

Is it wrong that I have a little more respect for the people who stage a coup than for people that need safe spaces to think about their feelings?

Not if you justify it by saying, "The coup people are thinking about 'we' and the safe space people are thinking about 'me'."
