And the MAGA’s in the soup line will do so with a smirk and an indignant attitude still claiming patriotic superiority.

Isn't the thread War on Democracy? Didn't Democrats put up a non-elected candidate to replace a lawfully elected candidate because they knew the lawfully elected candidate couldn't win. All this after the primaries? Oh yea.. they still couldn't hand pick a winner.
Keep posting loser.. you and your bed buddy can go cry your safe space together.

That right there is why 4.5 million registered Democrats are now registered Republicans. It's people like you and little e who don't know what alleged means. You are at the bottom of the gene pool when it comes to intelligence..

A New York Times investigation published today revealed an unprecedented federal assault on press freedom. The United States now ranks 64th out of 180 countries on press freedom, the worst score since records began.
FBI agents serving subpoenas at reporters' homes, the Pentagon firing the editors of the military's own newspaper, and Trump's FCC moving to strip eight ABC stations of their licenses one day after he demanded Jimmy Kimmel be fired over a joke.
In 2002 we were 17th. We now sit between Botswana and Panama.
Start with ABC. Those licenses ran through 2028. No FCC chairman had ordered an early review like it in decades. Stations cannot broadcast without one, and chairman Brendan Carr picked up the single tool that can put a network off the air and aimed it at a punchline, then said the timing was coincidental.
Former FCC chairs from both parties, Republicans included, called it an assault on free speech wearing a regulatory costume.
It worked before any judge ruled on anything. ABC told a court it aired a Trump speech it never would have carried and quietly avoided certain guests and clips on "The View." That isn't a network losing a case. That's a network flinching.
Then there's Erik Slavin.
He edited Stars and Stripes, the paper that has printed for American soldiers since the Civil War, its independence protected by federal law. He went on CBS and said censoring the news that reaches service members would be a red line. Reporter Lara Korte said she works for Stars and Stripes, not the Pentagon and not any administration.
Both were fired for insubordination.
Their publisher, Max Lederer, was ordered to do the firing. He wrote back asking why their words weren't protected by the First Amendment. He never got an answer, was told to fire them anyway, offered to resign instead, and was terminated too.
Three journalists gone for defending soldiers' right to read something the Pentagon didn't write.
And when the FBI took a Washington Post reporter's devices, a federal judge blocked officials from reviewing them, saying otherwise the government's fox would be running the Post's henhouse.
Trump, of course, is delighted. At a White House event in April he spotted Carr in the crowd, told the room his man was keeping the crooked networks honest, and called his own FCC chairman the most powerful man in the world.
Think about what that man actually controls. Not armies. Not budgets. Only the question of who stays on the air.
Trump wasn't exaggerating. He was saying thank you.
