You would be against justice if a crime can be proven? Is he above the law?

This.

So angry

Should he be? Sure. But letting it go so we can move on and heal as a country is way more important. Stop the divide.

I think the big win move is to let him be prosecuted and convicted and then Biden/Harris pardons him.

Well you’ve gotta wait until January 21st for anything to happen, he can’t do anything until his inauguration

Just walked out the door and saw my neighbor, we made eye contacts, walk down the stairs, he got out of his car and we hugged and cry for this beautiful victory.

His wife had to ruin it said "stop acting all g**"

Two guys can't hug and cry in the streets of San Francisco? She hating.

There's also the looming $340m in personally guaranteed outstanding loans from Deutsche Bank due soon.

There’s been no proof of voter fraud. And when they go to court, Trump has to prove there was voter fraud, not the other way around.

Beto for Vice President!!!!!

Really hope that the country can try to hit the reset button after this election. Time to try to get through this pandemic together. It will be a time of reflection by both parties as they both gained and lost votes among certain demographics. Both parties have razor thin margins in their respective houses in congress (not buying that the Dems have a chance at the senate in Georgia) so maybe we will get some chance at cooperation. However I am still very concerned about Mitch as he has had a stranglehold on the Senate for over a decade no matter if he is in the majority or the minority. At times over the past decade it seems like he has more power than the President. Now if anyone has a chance at working with him from the Democrats it would be Biden but I still don't trust Mitch whatsoever. I would really like to see the Republicans toss out Mitch and the Democrats to toss out Pelosi and Schumer and get different people to lead them. It will be interesting to see who the parties put out there in 2024. Hope that whoever the nominees are that they are not extreme and that either side can trust that they will lead the country, even if one doesn't necessarily agree with all of their policies.

Most rational, unselfish people in this country were tired of Trumps sh*t, now we have to clean up the mess he made.

Let's be honest, anybody and everybody, including myself, is an idiot for voting for people that should have retired 15-20 years ago.

It’s crazy to think Al Gore who hasn’t been relevant politically in 2 decades is younger than both of these guys

You are probably right.

This may be one of those times when the right thing feels crappy.

If Trump just rode off into the sunset, I'm good with that.

Really, I don't think Trump supporters have any leg to stand on here when one of their main rallying cries during both elections was "Lock [INSERT NAME OF TRUMP ENEMY HERE] Up!"

All I'll have to say is that those same people feared Clinton even more. Just something to think about.

Alaska
Hawaii

The popular vote is meaningless.

Why does it matter all those states have smaller populations? Land doesn’t vote, people do.

Well in my opinion I think most of the Trump supporters here have been pretty decent given the results. I can only speak for myself and say I'm disappointed, but not suicidal disappointed lol.
I'm kind of getting the feeling some here from the other side of the aisle are also disappointed, as in disappointed that those of us aren't more upset than we are.
Granted, emotions are extremely difficult to tell from written words rather than spoken words.
Life goes on brother, life goes on.
