Imagine if after the (first) American Revolution everyone just threw in the towel when the Articles of Confederation didn't work out. Or after the Stamp Act pre-Revolution everyone just said "oh gee guys, we're done". Or if after the Boston Tea Party everyone said "oh no, now the King & British Newspapers will defame us". Seriously, Trump gave it his all. He's in his 70s, and he worked 20 hour days for 5 straight years, throwing out his reputation, all of his friends, half his family. He did this for YOU. You want him to do EVERYTHING for you? He got this movement started. It's not fucking over, he gave us the playbook, now it's OUR turn to lead this movement, together. Yesterday showed the power we can exert when even a fraction of us get together in one location. We keep this going, forever, until the Left caves in or go extinct because they only fuck 7 year old boys in the ass and can't reproduce.

I've been thinking about this.
The Founders were young, energetic, and in positions of respect, wealth, and sometimes power.
They also were NUMEROUS. And despite their many differences, they shared the same goal and dedicated themselves to it.
Trump is basically ONE MAN. And the borg monster of government aka deep state has grown ten million times in size since the Founding.
It's just not realistic to think that one man - even the near perfect fighter that Trump is - can do it.
The whole world was against him, and he still accomplished more in four years than any president in my lifetime (I'm 51).
We're too stuck on superheroes in this culture. Trump is the closest human to a superhero we'll ever have.
God bless him.
But he always had us. We would've supported any bold move he made. If he fired people the moment they went squirrely on him, we would've supported it. If would've fired Sessions the day he recused himself, we would've supported it. If he would've ordered federal marshals to voting centers the night of the election, we would've supported it. If he would've sent in NG to quell the BLM rioters, we would've supported it. If he would've ordered governors to not engage in any lockdowns or unconstitutional mandates, we would've been there.
He was paralyzed by bad advisors, optics, poll numbers and media. But he always had us right there with him all the time but he never seemed to appreciate that power. He seemed too focused on the other side's views.
He needed them to like him. That's how he was getting the landslide. It worked. The problem is Pence. He shouldn't have accepted the electors. We expected everyone else to screw us.
