Trump should accept defeat
Reader comment on item: Trump's Need to Concede
in response to reader comment: Civil war
Submitted by Debanjan Banerjee (India), Nov 11, 2020 at 21:25
I agree with dear Dr Pipes that Trump should accept defeat now. However considering that Trump has the support of...deplorables who still hold on to their American exceptionalism canard. They cannot accept the fact that they have lost and Biden have won fair and square. If you do not accept defeat now you will be written off by history and those in this forum who live on US government dole will lose their livelihoods under a hostile Biden administration. Give up now or it will be too late for you. What do you think about my idea?
