Nobody should give the democrat or republican establishment the benefit of the doubt here. They have no soul. They did everything they could to take Trump down in the past four years and ended up with egg on their face each time.
Millions have been bamboozled into believing Trump is literally Hitler. Another few million believe he's a bad person. This is the power of the press.
The people who rigged this election have no souls, no morals, and frankly believe might is right. There is a tough battle ahead. Don't give any of them the benefit of the doubt.
