The bottom line is the victors write the history and define the terms of the settlement. It seems we are seeing the beginning of those terms now with “banning” and “lists of Trump supporters.” That’s life.

Another reality that is lost on the vichy republicans. For all their talk of a "peaceful transfer of power" from the left, this sort of behavior is not what you inflict on an opposing party after an election. It is what you do after a war.

Mainstream republicans are in total denial; They have purposely avoided every opportunity to stop this, even to the point of collaborating with it in order to convince themselves it is no big deal.

They fail to grasp that they will translate from being useful allies, to an annoying but necessary evil, eventually becoming the final enemy to vanquish.

Spot on! Well, this is a war! We just do not have shooting — yet. In a war, you inflict the most damage possible on your opponent if you want a clean victory (WWII, etc). This is exactly what we are seeing.

That is being done to Trump and his supporters now. This is how Stalin and Mao managed to hold power for a couple of generations. We sure seem to be going in that direction now.

You would have to believe in the tooth fairy to believe the crap being spewed by the left-wing media and big tech companies today.
