      This has the right idea, but they still would be better even if they didn’t. Maybe even more better.

        It’s not the right idea. Decorum is just another token of the privileged to distinguish those that make the decisions from those that feel the consequences. Why get incensed at the dismantling of people’s freedoms when you can afford to insulate yourself from any hardship?

        Yeah, they could conduct a peaceful transfer of power without the congratulations. They would be ruthlessly mocked for being sore losers, but they would be internally consistent at least.

          Who cares at this point, they’re already ruthlessly mocked, and it’s not like they lost a bet, they’re handing the keys to the nation over to a massive fire that plans on destroying the country for monetary gain. Fuck em.
