President-elect Joe Biden is moving ahead with the transition, checking in with Democratic leaders in Congress.Leaders, no matter the position, have followers, fans and supporters. The connection between leaders is primarily based on a perceived set of shared values and usually a gut-level connection that bonds them together. Reason is not always the most important driver of this connection.
Today, we have too many"leaders" who not only aren't trying to move supporters from biases, but they are enflaming those biases in order to curry favor and additional support. And in this moment, those irresponsible leaders are contributing to a breakdown in our democracy.'s supporters believed he would win by a landslide.
Sociologists have studied why people believe conspiracy theories -- whether it be an election outcome, assassination or even the moon landing. The main reason sociologists say these folks believe in conspiracy theories is that the reality conflicts so much with an existing bias that it is easier to find comfort in a convoluted conspiracy than believe a simple explanation. Yes, Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone, and there was no one on the grassy knoll. James Earl Ray acted alone and out of racism.
As a key staffer to President George W. Bush in the 2000 election, I had a front-row seat for what might have happened if we questioned the legitimacy of an election. Instead, we had two major party candidates who sought to heal in the aftermath of 2000, when Bush who lost the popular vote and won the Electoral College with an assist from a partisan and divided U.S. Supreme Court.
🖕🏻
Trump is just an arrogant, serial lying sociopath who lives in the world of make believe. Why is this country being held hostage by him? He lost the election ‘bigly’ and now he is Captain Chaos while innocent Americans are dying every minute! What happened to the 25th Amendment?
Every one knows that Trump lost the election.He acts like a baby.
In other news, water is wet.
No he didn't.
Of course he did!! He’s beyond mentally ill , sad really but all true. A spoiled rotten man/child with a bad mentality of “ me” “ me “ “ me” and I wanna be Pwesident,,,, whaaaa whaaaaa whaaaaa, get him out of there NOW!!
This isn't about President Trump. This is about election tampering that has become so sophisticated it is virtually unmistakable!! The people didn't speak this year. The people that created the tampering AND PAID FOR IT ... elected the next President. Think about that!! 🤔🤔
trump likes to be in the ideal world but not the real world
Messy, very messy
“The main reason sociologists say these folks believe in conspiracy theories is that the reality conflicts so much with an existing bias that it is easier to find comfort in a convoluted conspiracy than believe a simple explanation.” USA Public education, sad state of affairs.
Today is nothing like the Russian collusion fiasco bought and paid for by Hillary Clinton and the DNC.
Worthless
Like all the false info and you have allowed from your network to be broadcasted about President Trump while praising Joe Biden has some saint when Joe Biden is no saint Joe Biden wishes to wage war against citizens across many nations with his world ending tactics
by blaming him for stuff that you could have also fixed....
Unfortunately you and all other news media outlets have inflamed things in regards to the election because of not having reported about who Joe Biden really is.... Also people hate Trump just because of who he is so unfortunately you're also participating in discrimination
Funny how they are saying “stop the steal” when Trump himself is trying to steal and bribe election officials
Fake news are encouraging massive fraud or just complicit
at the end he will disappear and rememberd the worst President off the US
It’s what he’s good at. Causing a scene. It’s like a kid in a grocery store kicking and screaming because they were told no.
Both sides set up the narrative. It was going to happen regardless. It is just too bad that is our reality. Where are the professional, honest adults?
That’s because of media like you
That’s what he wanted to do! He is a bully and an instigator of hate
He’s hardly spoke in public. You the media are single-handedly enflaming the election.
JOE BIDEN IS A WANTED MAN IN UKRAINE
That's his playbook
Blatant fraud by Democrats are the culprit
Coulda Wouda Shouda
That's how unpatriotic he is.
Replace President. Trump, with media.
Order for your engine in all kinds of engine you need for your car and many more
When blatant misconduct is present, no one should stay silent.
Fuck your opinion.
Isn’t that what he always does
He doesn’t care. He wants division and unrest. He lives to make confusion and discord. He is a terrible president!
Thanks Marco Rubio and Rick Scott and Guv mini 45, you have set back Civics 101 years and degraded democracy right in front of our children.
Opinion: press could have eased election tensions-instead they enflamed them.
He could have been a decent human being but he chose not to a long time ago so this is no surprise.
isnt that his M.O.?!... tantrums of spoiled privledged brats usually cause uproars when they dont get their way!
He loves the attention and is laughing at all us suckers and losers again! This out of control maniac is gonna end up in jail or a sanitarium. He is a VERY sick and dangerous manipulator.
DO YOU KNOW WHAT YOU ARE SAYING
He doesn’t do de-escalation. His narcissism doesn’t allow it.
The worry for American democracy is how easy (and with little or no restraint from his peers) a vacuous, self-serving second-hand car salesman can mobilise large forces of so many malleable and unquestioning minds!
Cheaters
Which 5,000,000+ majority does he not believe in?
In fact sometimes I think about all of the ways trump is dysfunctional and the volumes that will be written about his psychosis and general unfittness for office. History will speak of Trump in the same way we speak of King Henry VIII
Of course he did. He is only going to do things that cause disruption. He is textbook incorrigible.
Except that we think the Election was stolen from him...
Can u blame him really? Democrats challenged his win throughout his 4 yr term, launched 2 yr investigations and Trump just want to make sure there’s no fraud on massive mail voting in this time of pandemic. He’s only doing it until December compared to what Dems did to him 4 yrs!
I find this to be very shocking and out of character for him!
OMG you guys don't get it, it's not about Trump anymore, we want our country back, we are going to protect our self from the government, MSM enflamed this country with all the fake news for years now
His MO is to enflame.
To clear the fraud and prevent future fraud is the biggest ease of tensions.
Matthew: Thanks for labeling your piece as an opinion instead of 'the news.' I would venture to say that Trump supporters understand that Biden received more votes. The issue is if those were in fact legal votes. All your wordsmithing does nothing to quell the concern.
Trump warned everyone about mail in voting because we already saw what happy at the local level and the primaries months before. Problems with mail in voting were heavily censored because democrats were pushing for the masses to mail in their ballots. We now know why.
trump is a narcissistic sociopathic demagogue and pathological liar..don't expect him to. change..he can't...talking about him is a waste of time..talk about the Senate GOP that enables this sick mind
Yes he did. Had he been to church yet?
No shit
ABC and other media outlets could of easily expose fraud in the election, but their pockets are filled with demorat money.
BS
these people need masks
Yeah, because he would be that guy ... News stop and reevaluate your options because journalism ain’t it
Creating chaos is a facade for the underlying lack of intelligence.
Now do Obama. He could've been my son. He acted stupidly.
To everyone that expects the president to lie to them and cuddle to make it better you should stop expecting that behavior unless you want terrible presidents from now on.
He enflames everything.
Says the media organization that raised election tensions...
Let Americans Rejoice & Arise to Corruption instead of your stupid headline. Ya'll are the ones creating the problem by not reporting the truth.
FACT: ABC is fake news
That’s because he’s trying to start a civil war & take over as much as he can... 😷
an insane man is occupying the WH now
What else we expect from this man😔😔😔😔
Of course he knows fully well that Biden defeated him the impression he wants to create to the world that his mandate was stolen by Democrats so he does not have to leave office shamefully and keeps holding on to false claims that has no evidence of election malpractices
The Left could have eased election tensions by... Not cheating!!!
I thought the Democrats are still fanning the anti-Trump hate since 2016 😂😂😂
So Trump, the victim of the mainstream media/mafia’s oppression/censorship and the victim of the biggest election fraud in history, should be submissive and keep his month shut? I thought the left sides with oppressed victims of all kinds.
Pres. Trump could have been a good President - instead he ... well, you get the idea
That’s been his MO for almost 4 years, it just the result of this election. It’s what a fear & hate monger does.
Many Trump supporters are turning away and moving on. It's like a jaws-of-life traffic accident; you really don't want to see how that ends.
Media inflamed it from the beginning with an I hate Trump sect agenda why have you not showed your viewers the things he has achieved not one of your viewers woukd know as you have never told them seektruth
So basically Trump did the same thing that the Democrats did in 2016 with the fake Russian collusion accusations, he refused to accept the outcome. So now the shoe is on the other foot, and Biden will have to deal with the fact that half the country thinks he’s illegitimate.
Dumb
Trump could've done numerous things to improve our country like: -Remove corrupt money grubbing parasites from our politics -Ease tensions with other nations (Iran) -Did a better job at his covid-19 response -Not entertaining and participating in conspiracy theories 1/2
What good is power to Donald Trump without exerting revenge?
fakenews
Yeah and cows fly. Honestly Trump is very predictable. He only plays smash mouth PON.
For the right reasons GA for you. Cancel all electoral votes for VP Biden side (got nothing against him but campaign fraud is unacceptable)..You will have no confidence in the integrity of the election again. PressSec WhiteHouse JaySekulow RudyGiuliani
Yo, not fake news. You faked and flipped it and reversed it and it was still bullshit.
Stop stealing from Americans Trump . You're cooked. Bye bye Don. 🌊🌊
OPINION: Trump's A LOSER!
Did anyone expect him to act any different?
you mean JoeBiden could have by not cheating at such a massive scale that it broke the system
The media should send Trump a thank you card. Tension is your bread and butter.
LOL
When has Trump even eased anything? You need to stop expecting him to act like a normal human being.
He’s literally an inflammation🤷🏻♂️☕️
Trump NEVER cared about America...he only cared about Trump.
BIDEN 2020
Of course he did. If he can’t win or have it, as a sore loser, he will burn it all down.
