Not sure there was a right answer in this one. We legitimately bitched about Trump not supporting a peaceful transfer of power. Now he's legitimately won the election, and Biden is trying to support a peaceful transfer of power the way we have for every election other than the one Trump lost.
I agree with you. The photo itself doesn’t upset me as much as the years of giving in to hateful border policies and now transphobia. The smiling photo just symbolizes that ongoing surrender to evil to me.
This whole thing is so soul crushing. I've always stayed informed to the point that I consider it a part of who I am. Now Trump and the Republicans control all branches of government, he's putting in literally the worst possible choices for cabinet positions, they're actively planning on some of the most abhorrently racist actions, and Trump is spinning up his grift machine. All of the checks and balances have been removed and replaced with loyalty assessments, and so we're sitting here with no reasonable way to avoid the disasters. My chest is constantly tight and I just don't think I can keep tuned into live coverage of the national disaster.
The least Biden could do is give him the cold shoulder after Biden lost our fucking democracy to a nitwit. Nowhere does a peaceful transfer of power say you have to be friendly to the incoming administration.
To anyone who is tempted to respond with "BIDEN WASN'T RUNNING" Biden's team had internal polling showing a fucking massacre and still waited til the last minute to drop out, fuck off.
