The Hill Moves Onto the Bargaining Stage of Grief, Warns Voters They'll Regret Electing Trump

ImgFlip

We all know the five stages of grief: denial, anger, bargaining, depression and acceptance.

The Left are all going through that process in the days following the election, and that process isn't exactly linear. You can go back and forth between stages. Here's Joy Reid with a massive amount of denial, Jon Stewart is angry, Barbra Streisand is definitely depressed, and here's The Hill, with bargaining:

More than 70 million Americans voted for him, but do go on.

They write:

Our democratic institutions are not ready for what comes next. Neither are the American people.  

The Trump who will walk into the White House on Jan. 20 is a man steeped in unsettled vendettas, who came within a hair’s breadth of a string of federal felony convictions that he is now empowered to wipe away with a self-pardon — as if those offenses and so many others had never even happened. Trump will see his priorities as he has always seen them: party over country and self over all. 

A man with 34 felony convictions can’t win the presidency in a nation where trust in institutions is high. It’s only in a culture where the justice system has long since lost its legitimacy that a man with such a thick criminal record as Trump glides by relatively unremarked. That one man can so effortlessly game American institutions to his own benefit says as much about the decrepit state of America’s institutions as it does about the moral decrepitude of the crook.  

Once again, this argument might work if Donald Trump had never been president. But he was, so it doesn't work. And voters showed they don't believe it.

No, keep talking. It worked out so well for them on Tuesday.

No, we won't.

The Democrats ignored and dumped on the American people for so long (and so did a lot of Republicans, frankly). Trump came along and a lot of voters finally felt heard.

It's what they do best.

They've learned nothing.

The Biden years weren't exactly great.

Are we surprised?

No. No, we are not.

Getting rid of that crew is one of the best things voters ever did.

YUP.

It's hysterical, isn't it?

They know it's dead and are merely trying to reanimate its bloated corpse at this point.

Yes, please. Let's talk about that.
