There are still people fighting to have Trump be president---for life?
They make ridiculous claims about "He got more votes than anyone every has" while ignoring the almost 7 million more votes that Biden got. Easy to explain, Trump said that himself repeatedly, also ignoring the more votes that Biden got. Reality is, Hillary Clinton got 3 million more votes than Trump got. Trump never said that either. He firmly believed in the electoral College when it worked to his advantage.
He tried to nullify it, when it didn't go his way.
He filed more than 50 election lawsuits---which he lost. Then called around trying to get state Governors and Attorney generals to send his electoral representatives instead of the ones that represented the people in the state.
When that didn't work, he tried to get senators and representatives and the Vice President to make him president anyway.

These are people that have sworn an oath to follow the constitution, but instead remained loyal to a personality. That personality has never even tried to be president for anyone except those that are loyal to him. His agenda has been aimed at white supremacy, xenophobia, and violence.
Over 4 years, he has pardoned war criminals, those that were in prison for committing crimes aimed at getting him elected, caged children after pulling them out of their parents/families arms(that one has created at least 400 orphans, as no one can now figure out who to send them to). His loyal followers willingly sent money to Steve Bannon, who was then charged with a crime for using that money sent to finish the wall, for personal expenses.
And last, but far from least. He and his family arranged a violent coup to occur at the time of the finalizing of the electoral college vote.
Five people died.
His cult members brought assault weapons, zip ties, built a gallows, carried both confederate, nazi, and trump flags, and had an agenda--to keep Trump President while removing all who stood in the way. While these lunatics went about their business, the Trump family watched it all on closed circuit tv while drinking and partying. The family watched 5 deaths and countless people terrorized while drinking and laughing and having a great time.
The result of this?
Trump is still president, but only for another week or so.
The house is going to Impeach him, again.
The FBI has arrested as many of those insurrectionists as they can find.
Quite a few white house staffers and cabinet members are getting out of Dodge.
Facebook, Twitter, Instagram have barred Trump from their social media sites--so they have all gone to Parler. Apple has stopped providing the Parler App.
And, there is big talk about the real insurrection at the inauguration by the Trump fan club.
It has been a very long 4 years. The fact that so many of the citizens of this country were ok with a rich, white, reality tv star that partied with a known child sex trafficker and didn't pay his taxes, that snorted things up his nose to up his game to the point of needing diapers, that had 5 kids by three women, with two of those wives met while still married, that his great business sense resulted in at least 6 bankruptcies--all known before he was voted into the white house, is very disappointing. The Russian election interference, the attempted Ukrainian interference, was scary. His worship of hereditary dictators and fascists dictators was horrifying.
And right now, today, after 4 years of crazy, a coup attempt, and endless hate-speech, his followers are still all in for trump.
Stay awake. We need those with a conscience, those with critical thinking skills and those that recognize that the country is not at its best to keep watching and raising their voices when our ideals are not the goal.
Happy new year--let's make it a world of justice for all.
