It all goes back to one of the Lefts old standbys.....and it is no more evident then them wanting President Trump’s tax returns.

What do you have to hide?

If the Left were truly confident in a legitimate win, they would be just as enthusiastic about audits, etc as we, on the Right, are. And, if after a lefgit audit/investigation, they’re right, we’d have a hard time in the future challenging them. As we all know.

But that ain’t the case.

Accept me and my results or die you conservative scum. That’s it in a nutshell.

Because they know they are complicit.

Verbose (first few paragraphs seem sufficient) but well put.
It’s the intolerance of disagreement (from a side which prides itself on “diversity, understanding, tolerance”) which the biggest problem.

Silencing dissent leads to civil war.

Modern propaganda is about humiliation.
It says things are blatantly untrue, then forces us to agree with them publicly or else.

And STILL we can't look at the mail-in ballots for Fulton County or Maricopa County.

TOTALLY clean "election", though...

Immigration policy and practice over the last half-century effectively has been to import ringers to help Democrats win, and Republicans lose, as many elections as possible.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The GOP has been complicit with this as well as complicit with the Kenyanesian Usurpation and the Big Steal.

It is all designed to steal the country from the citizens.
Our sovereignty stands in the way of their New World Order.

“Being in a minority, even in a minority of one, did not make you mad. There was truth and there was untruth, and if you clung to the truth even against the whole world, you were not mad.”
― George Orwell, 1984

“Freedom is the freedom to say that two plus two make four. If that is granted, all else follows.”
― George Orwell, 1984

“In a way, the world−view of the Party imposed itself most successfully on people incapable of understanding it. They could be made to accept the most flagrant violations of reality, because they never fully grasped the enormity of what was demanded of them, and were not sufficiently interested in public events to notice what was happening. By lack of understanding they remained sane. They simply swallowed everything, and what they swallowed did them no harm, because it left no residue behind, just as a grain of corn will pass undigested through the body of a bird.”
― George Orwell, 1984

“...I was surprised by his evident yearning to hear me say so, too.”

This has to do with what Ayn Rand called “the sanction of the victim”. Very important to the left’s attempts at self-justification.

That’s also why they’re so upset that President Trump would not formally concede.

Doublethink.
Crimethink.
Ungood.
Unperson.
Memory hole.
Two minute hate.

1984 was off by 40 years.

Communism is not just about lies. It's about completely absurd lies that no rational person would ever believe.

President Trump was right when he said America will never be a socialist nation. We skipped right over the Socialist stepping stone and went straight to Communism.

I compare the election loss to the attack on Pearl Harbor, or the attack on Poland on September 1, 1939. The good guys lost, but it wasn’t the end of the war.

We are currently in the phoney war. i.e. the swearing in of Biden was not the end. It was the beginning.

BTW, the phoney war...Yeah, it’s real, and we’re in another one: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phoney_War

This only partially speaks to my tag line.
