That's quite the approval cliff Trump walked off trying to overthrow the election.

Thankfully, the brainwashing is not entirely complete and a lot of people are seeing it for what it was.

    Trump to leave Washington on morning of Biden’s inauguration [apnews.com]

    WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump will leave Washington next Wednesday morning, just before President-elect Joe Biden’s inauguration, to begin his post-presidential life in Florida.

    He will be sent off with a departure ceremony at Joint Base Andrews, according to a person familiar with the planning who spoke on condition of anonymity because Trump’s plans have not been formally announced. Officials are considering an elaborate event that would have the feel of a state visit, with a red carpet, color guard, military band and 21-gun salute all being discussed.

    Trump had already announced that he would not be attending Biden’s inauguration — an historical break with tradition — after spending months making baseless allegations of voter fraud in an attempt to delegitimize Biden’s presidency. Vice President Mike Pence will attend in his place.

    Trump will leave Washington two weeks after he incited a violent insurrection, with his supporters storming the Capitol building in an attempt to halt the peaceful transition of power.

    Trump is expected to remain in Florida with a small group of aides as he mulls his future.

    So would Trump get on the Marine One helicopter?

    Imagine Trump's surprise if, the helicopter did not land at Mar-a-logo, but instead landed at a, um, facility, in New York, with a welcoming orange jump suit? He could be presented with his arrest warrant for tax evasion.

    Then he could consider his future. With no tweeter to play with.

    But, will there be Tanks? Tanks and Antifa-Aircraft Cannon, in case we need to give him a North Korea send-off! Those NoKoComs really enjoy a good Military Parade and summary execution!

    I know most of us around here throw a lot of overblown rhetoric around to needle each other. But please, please listen when I tell you this in all, absolute seriousness.

    The day Trump is arrested is the day the shooting starts. It really will be the straw that breaks the camel's back. It won't be just in D.C., and it won't be just people trying to break Trump out of whatever place he's put. It will be everywhere. It will be on almost every street, with both R and D deciding to go get that guy down the street before the guy can get them.

    Let Trump go. Jail him and he's a martyr. Let him go and he's an old man everyone laughs at and ignores. Let him go.

      "You better not hold us accountable or we will go full-on boogaloo"? My! It really is...ummmm...sobering...to see you guys put it quite so starkly as this.

      Let him go.

      No. He has to be held accountable for his many crimes. You do believe in the rule of law, don't you?

          Look, chucklepants! You don't have to burn down anything to enforce the law! It's not actually a requirement per se. If you guys do decide to do that, it will be entirely on you!

            If you are serious about enforcing the law, equally, the whole place will go up in smoke. Trump's only mistake is that he's sloppy, but he did nothing out of the ordinary, except provide a glimpse of life in DC, a true hive of villainy.

                Never said he wasn't. And I never said he should get off the hook. Those who say I did are just plain old liars, would have to be democrats

      How about before you start shooting, let's see how guilty Trump is first.

      Let him go.

      If we're ever going to drain the swamp, someone gets to be first out that ditch.

      Hell, I might go to Florida. That's where all the Jews in New York City and New Jersey keep their vacation homes, so they're not locking down or futzing with mask bullshit like the other states and suavely deflect all bullshit criticism of their staying open. Masks and vaccinations and being herded around are for Shiksa Goyim cattle anyway.

      In fact, it was signed into law that, in Florida, you're able to defend yourself from violent mobs using your vehicle -- meaning that you can run over Antifa to escape their violence and not a damn thing will happen to you. But word on the street is that New York is going to re-open from the COVID hoax anyway, so hopefully other governors will follow that example. Biden got elected, there's no longer any point for the lockdown charade to continue.

        Actually, I'm also predicting that lockdowns will be lifted not long after Biden's inauguration, but it won't be because of any "charade". By that time most of the damage from the Trump administration's inept handling of the crisis will have been done. There is little point in holding the barn door shut when the horse has already galloped out and across the field!

        Sadly for you and your kind, you first have to find the "Antifa"...but that is going to be tough, since they are a figment of your imagination (or perhaps collective imagination).
