I don't know what broad light is cast on the 82 million, but we know that the 82 million (at the very least) view the 75 million as deplorable and irredeemable.
For the record: 82 million > 75 million, right?
Does this mean you're acknowledging that Trump lost by 7 million votes?
But then of course 100% of you democrats were told by your party leaders and media pundits and believed that there was no way in hell that we would have a successful vaccine by the end of 2020.
I would just say that it was a true statement at the time, based upon my observations. Ok, maybe 99% ...

By using you as a proxy, folks can get a pretty good idea what they think of the 82 million people (since we're rounding up) who ousted their messiah...

Dismiss / ignore the thoughts of 75 million people at your own peril.
More insurrections?

What surprises me is that the republican old guard is so incompetent at the politics of fending off MAGA. They are allowing themselves to be picked off one by one rather than getting together with enough clout to do something and not get cancelled.
The GOP establishment is worried about Trump's base, not the Orange Gourd himself, imo. Primaries, etc.

Dr. Frankenstein never recognized the monster in his creation until it was too late.
My problem with Cheney, besides her policy positions I mean, is she waited all this time to speak up? She knew full well who Trump was from the git-go. So did McConnell, McCarthy, Graham (gah!), Cruz (double gah!), and the whole stinkin' bunch. They all, including Rep. Cheney, emboldened and legitimized a man who has zero morals, ethics, or human decency. Where were they when he called Ted's wife ugly? When he said Cruz's father was involved in the Kennedy assassination? When he said 'Grab 'em by the p****'? When he told easily- disproved lies (not 'falsehoods' or 'misrepresentations' or whatever window-dressing), tens of thousands of times?
I have zero sympathy, and only grudging respect, for Liz Cheney's plight. She helped create the monster, and the monster turned on her - who could have imagined that might happen? McConnell and the others would do well to remember her fate, because they are next. c.

Although I think if you're looking at family trees and find a tenth cousin twice removed, you're probably a closer relative to an actual tree than you are to that person.
Guess it depends on how we define blood relative. But immediate family would be good enough for me, no husbands/wifes/kids/grandkids. I'm against cousins too while we are at it... if you make the obligatory list for a wedding invitation. We already get enough nepotism/favoritism in the staffing ranks. Let's not extend it to dynasties. New people bring new ideas.
So by this rule, would FDR have been excluded? We'd likely not be the country we are today without him (and his wife).

Did we learn nothing from our break with the monarchy? If you have a bloodline connection to any previous administration, you don't have my vote. Sure, I might be eliminating one or two qualified people, but would have knocked out W, Hillary, and Jeb. You can't tell me that with 300 odd million people out here we can't find a qualified non-relative for the job.
Now there's a stretch. I guess they'll be dusting off the guillotine in Wyoming to get rid of Liz...

Point taken, but she did vote to impeach. I guess the capital riot was the last straw.
