Too many people were following the advice to "sit back and grab popcorn" instead of being ballot counters and watchers or running for local and state offices. Or even simple things like mailing and calling their congressmen to demand vote ID and election reform in their states. Now is the time to put the fantasy aside and realize there is no cavalry coming around the corner to save the day; it's up to the people to create change, little by little, day after day, until victory has been claimed.
I hope our brothers can come out of this mental hole. This cult like fantasy generating and belief is hindering everything. Do your part, don't let them spread their larping without calling it out. We need them back in the fight.
Yeah, gently warning them to temper their expectations right now is important so that there isn't a huge buildup of emotions in a week. I think the other key is to let this play out, and be there for them as shoulders to cry on and rally their morale, when they realize there was no behind the scenes savior to bring justice to evil-doers. We should be seeing this as a great moment in history where the curtains have been unveiled and the actors are clearly visible, so that we know what needs to be done for the future and work together.

It went a bit further than that. Anyone who expressed any concern that we'd been soundly beaten at the Supreme Court's decision not to hear the case was shouted down as a "doomer" and even calls to regroup and come up with our next steps were shamed. This is why I don't upvote "doomer" posts even in jest. The namecalling among ourselves is unacceptable.
Yes, the fraud was real, but nobody's coming to save us.
However, the energy I saw last month from pedes contacting state legislatures was immense, and the sheer number of people objecting, even after the antifa-instigated crap, was heartwarming and amazing. We need to put that same energy into the state legislatures again. Get local elections cleaned up. Educate yourselves on the Convention of States. We can term limit these congress critters and get rid of them for good.

Thank you.

Thank you for trying to help them.

I feel exactly this way.
