What made America great

John Adams, America’s second president, established the precedent of peacefully surrendering power after losing an election. Ever since then, every defeated president, good or bad, has accepted the verdict of the voters and stepped down. It’s called the peaceful transfer of power, and it’s a crucial part of what made America great

Not many were surprized when Trump went belly-up in 2020. Is he so singularly important that he can defy the tradition of centuries? Should he have been given a free shot at overturning the election result by lies (assuming he knew what he was doing) and not be held to account? One in three or four citizens say yes.

That’s what the Republic has come to. Thanks for nothing, Mr EX President.

Well you are forgetting the fact that Trump did step down which is why we've had Biden for the past three years.
 
Let me share you some quotes from the founding fathers

It's been nearly 22 months since Donald Trump lost the 2020 election to Joe Biden. But the former president's insistence that he won has reached a new and perplexing peak.

"Declare the rightful winner or — and this would be the minimal solution — declare the 2020 Election irreparably compromised and have a new Election, immediately!"

Exile boy didnt forget he's just ignoring that fact so he could start yet ANOTHER thread about trump. I think JPP leftists are required by their handlers to start a specific number of threads about trump every day. If they don't meet their daily quota they get less rice.

Trump had to leave office - but he didn't "step down," or concede.

And that has done more damage to the country than any Presidential action in history.

Trump supporters are like mafia lawyers. Sure he killed two people, but think about all the people he chose NOT to kill. That makes him a good person.
 
Our republic was flawed from the moment our inartfully written constitution was ratified.

I have no idea what idyllic past some people are trying to restore.
I don't recall or have knowledge of one having ever existed in this nation.

And the founders knew it was flawed



Which is why we have the amendment system
