  - it is the former. - Bark Multiverse Jan 7, 20:54 2
    - If I were Antifa (and I am), I'd be trying a lot harder with my wackjob militia cosplay. None of these even get me into the top 5 at AntifaCon Costume Contest. -- nm* - Mop Jan 7, 20:57 1

  - Same -- nm - ty97 Jan 7, 19:12
- *looks around* "Nobody saw that failed attempt, right? Okay good" *tries again* -- nm - ty97 Jan 7, 19:11 1

So all it took for Trump to accept the election results, concede the election, speak out against violence, and speak clearly... - Mop Jan 7, 18:44 1
