Thank you for speaking to this. That hits the nail on the head. It speaks to the general callousness of the Democrats as they cling to norms.
The way Harris told us to keep fighting, look over there at the stars, and then fucked off on vacation. And the way Biden was all to happy to meet with Trump like he was any other president elect.
Maybe they think this is their way to prove Trump wrong, that our elections are free and fair. It's like they care more about meeting the bar Trump sets for them than they care about the American people. Maybe it's their privilege. I'm guessing they'll be singing a different tune when Trump has them in court.
This is the part that honestly scares me. SCOTUS gave him broad immunity, and with the jackals he keeps in his orbit, I don't doubt for a second he/they could contrive "creative" ways to punish anyone that speaks ill of him, resists his efforts, or otherwise tries to speak truth to power.
What about the scientists and teachers just trying to do their jobs? What about the environmental activists? What about the charities trying to help Haitians or Mexicans or Queer people? What about the legal orgs fighting to keep Christianity out of public schools? They don't have the money to fight the government, and all are potential targets if the right lobbyists convince him it would be more profitable if he were to make them "go away."
