What "Tyranny" is the Extreme Right Complaining About?

https://signalpress.blogspot.com/2021/12/what-tyranny-is-extreme-right-talking.html

I would like to see one example of "tyranny" that anyone in the United States has had to endure as a result of Trump's losing the election. And he did lose it. Even his own lackeys, the now infamous "cyber ninjas" who illegally gained access to Maricopa County, Arizona ballots bent on proving that Trump really won. What they found was that there were Trump votes that couldn't be reconciled to the registration records, and that Biden actually won by a few hundred more votes in Maricopa County than were actually certified. If the ballot boxes across the country were stuffed for Trump like that one county, that could add up to a lot of phony Trump votes across the country.

But, let's get back to the original question. Where's the tyranny? What rights have been taken away from you as a result of the Biden Presidency? And I need to see evidence of something that is on the same level as Americans endured under the British monarchy back in the I700's. Talk of the infrastructure bill and the spending programs Biden has proposed do not constitute tyranny, by the way. A majority of Americans are in favor of it, the financing works, we've gotten past the silly Republican arguments about "borrowing from the future," especially since their man in the White House beginning in 20I6 didn't seem to have any problem with it at all.

they yearn for some semblance of purpose. BY GOD I AM FIGHTING FOR FREEDOM! Against what? TYRANNY!. They are heroes! They thought the seat belt mandate would make us communists. Who else throws tantrums like this? Toddlers.

The idea of human equality has never been a conservative virtue. "Conservatives" defended slavery, then created a segregated, economically oppressive system to perpetuate their racist bigotry. It's still there.

They want so desperately to believe that they are some kind of oppressed minority.

I have no idea why they think being an actual oppressed minority is desirable or something to aspire to.

And what kind of oppressed minority goes around blasting everything in sight with easily obtained deadly weaponry?

I can’t even with these assholes…

so why is it so hard for people to see the lies? Tyranny? The use of the word is an insult to anyone who genuinely experienced real tyranny anywhere in the world and especially in this country.

Collin Kaepernick expressed his opposition to real tyranny, that's documented and visible, by taking a knee during the national anthem. These extremists need to go meet up with Tucker Carlson's buddy, "Vlad the Great," and then we'll talk after that.
