Why are we and the media panicking over him? He's laughing at how much fear is he causing us! We need to quit freaking out over what he will or won't do!! He's loving every minute of it. He's saying crazy shit which is causing the media to freak out and then twitter verse and DU freaks out. It's unbelievable how gullible some are. He's doing this to depress the vote. It's as plain as day. I already see posts talking about how Trump's going to steal and there's nothing we can do!
Yes, we should be concerned and prepare, but not public freak out I'm seeing all over the place.

(509 posts)There's tons of posts about how he will tell the state legislatures to install him as president and there's nothing that can be done, which is not true at all. MSNBC and CNN have been talking all day about him talking about he's not going to honor the results. This is just a ruse to depress liberal voters. That's all. Everyone needs to take a chill pill.

(7,447 posts)being aware and prepared is not panic. Understanding what he's up to and how he might want to accomplish it is not panic.
Understanding that we have a poorly designed process for picking a President he might try to scheme is not panic.
I'm not seeing panic. I'm seeing legit concern, and ideas for response. No one is saying voting doesn't matter anymore, no one has given up, everyone has identified the clear way to stop this scheme, which is to have a blue tsunami of voting.

(509 posts)Let Biden's team prepare for any legal maneuvers. He's not going to do shit but run his mouth. If he loses, the GOP will turn on him cause they already got the Supreme Court and they don't like him anyway. He's just saying crazy stuff to depress the votes and it may just work if our side keeps talking about it all day every day.

(7,447 posts)so there must be something more to it than bluster or Biden is wasting time and money.
Wanderlust988
(509 posts)We need to talk about the issues. Biden needs to keep talking about the issues. We need to stop going down the rabbit hole giving Trump credence for his outlandish statements.

(7,447 posts)1. Zero point zero people are giving in.
2. You say we need to talk, but every mention of this issue gets met with accusations that it's nothing but a conspiracy theory, it's not possible, can't ever happen.
3. Then people say, well yes actually it could, we hear, stop giving in to this fodder.
Here's the reality:
1. It can happen.
2. It will require a lot of things to work, a close election, republican officials at the state and federal level willing to go along with it, and ultimately a Supreme Court willing to let it happen. Any of those is a fault point.
3. We can block it in multiple ways by winning big, or just winning the Senate since Congress certifies the EC.
So what we can do at our level is work EVEN HARDER to vote, GOTV and make this a blowout.
That's literally what everyone who talks about this is saying.
And your response is: You guys are freaking out!?
Wanderlust988
(509 posts)We're giving him way too much power.
qazplm135
(7,447 posts)it won't happen is just plain ignorance on multiple levels
and EVEN if you are right, the response to it is "let's all vote!"
And your response is, stop it, it won't happen?

(9,500 posts)Best to be prepared. If Trump actually goes full Reichstag, there will be 3 types of Democrats:
1. Those who are prepared and have a plan.
2. Those who will shrug their shoulders as democracy dies.
3. Those who are gonna panic because they don't know what to do or who to follow.

(13,903 posts)That said, the fn nutjob gets off on the "panic" He lies and says provocative things so he gets attention.
If it causes people discomfort, concern etc. He like that even more. He is a sick f**k.

(13,641 posts)Maybe you're sincere since DU itself has been awash in sky-is-falling posts, in which case you should just CHANGE THE CHANNEL! Disconnect yourself from the outrage porn industry. Even step away from DU for a while (and definitely stay away from the hyper-alarmist, click-bait-farm called DailyBeast!) Find something else to do with your time for a day or two.

We just have to stay focused, the media is doing this to sell advertisements.
