There could be an Election Denier right next door. They could deliver your mail, serve you a cocktail at the airport, sit next to you on the subway, or empty your garbage. They might be a grandma, a wife, or a son. They could be anyone. They could even be me.
Yes, I am an Election Denier. I am someone you’ve been told to fear, someone you probably think has been captured by extremist ideology and THE BIG LIE. You might say that also makes me an “insurrectionist” and “domestic extremist.”
I would say you’ve been watching too much MSNBC. The thing is, I grew up as an Election Denier because I grew up as a Democrat, and we never met an election we didn’t deny. That is, unless we won.
I was a Democrat who should have wanted to win in 2020. I supported Joe Biden; I even voted for him. Yet, coming out of that election, I felt nothing but despair. I could see the strings. And I left the Democratic Party because of it.
I could see how much power the Democrats had and how they orchestrated a fool-proof election win that didn’t need a strong candidate or an engaged citizenry. All they needed was an alliance of power that would go along with their plan and lots and lots of money.
Denying elections was never a thought crime for any of us. It was rewarded. It did not inspire fear. That is, until January 6th, when the Democrats got their enduring crisis, a Reichstag Fire, to assume absolute power using fear.
You have to understand what it was like to be a Democrat over the past several decades. We didn’t have any power until Barack Obama’s rise. With Silicon Valley driving wealth leftward, bad trade deals making the rich richer, and hollowing out the middle class, by the end of Obama’s second term, we’d amassed more power than we had at any time except right before the Civil War.
Letting go of that power has taken Democrats to where they are now, desperate authoritarians who no longer know how to win elections in this country because they don’t understand this country anymore.
That is as true on the Right with the establishment and Never Trump Republicans as it is on the Left. Now we’re seeing an epic battle playing out - it’s the establishment vs. the people.
The OG Election Deniers I came of age as an adult in the 1980s, thinking my vote didn’t matter. Elections were rigged, and that was that. Nixon? He ratf*cked both elections and rigged them in his favor. Reagan? He made a secret deal with Iran and sabotaged Jimmy Carter.
But none of that could compare to the 2000 election. After Bill Clinton’s impeachment, Al Gore tried to hold a third term, but his sharp turn on gun control, combined with zero charisma, not to mention an electorate that wasn’t exactly engaged, meant Al Gore didn’t earn enough votes to bring home the win.
We decided that the problem wasn’t Al Gore or the Democrats' policies —no, it was DEMOCRACY itself. Giving people a choice was the problem. Now, we had a new enemy - Ralph Nader, the third-party spoiler.
I guess we didn’t stop to consider that Bill Clinton's victory was due to another third-party spoiler named Ross Perot, who had pulled votes from HW Bush, allowing Bill Clinton to pull in a victory.
The problem was much bigger than Ralph Nader; it’s just that our Election Denialism prevented any of us from addressing it.
We clung to the idea that Gore should have won because he won the popular vote, a scenario that would also play out in 2016.
America is still a young country. The last time we had a disconnect between the popular vote and the Electoral College was around the time of the Civil War, when we were as polarized as we are now.
#electiondenier Believe it or not, the hashtag #electiondenier was started by MAGA, not the Democrats as a tool to shame Hillary Clinton supporters for their refusal to accept the results of the 2016 election.....
Even some democrats can’t stand it anymore.
I remember election deniers. They were running around in January 2017 trying to bully state electors into voting for Clinton instead of Trump.
This will answer any doubt the MSM or DNC or DOJ has been throwing at us. - And then SHARE IT if you're a patriot! - This might even explain why the whole Jan 6 thing had to happen.... EXPOSURE!!

Proud Election Denier since Wednesday, November 4, 2020
BTTT!
Some trumped up blogger thinking because she talks about stuff, it really means something. An airhead nothing-burger twit
Good article
Retract. Didn’t fully read and understand her style.

I am a robbery denier.
If somebody steals something and they don’t go to prison they won.
It is a fact.
It is official.
;-)
I prefer election fraud denier.
Election denier Stacey Abrams can be found where there's food.
A friend of mine signed up to be a poll watcher. You can’t see him in this photo but he’s on the other side of the cardboard. He has spent the last four years turning that anger into action and is heavily involved in election integrity projects in Michigan.
It is to the point that even the election denier deniers are becoming deniers . Everybody knows! The occupant in the Peoples house is a fraud.
In NYS, The GOP Party is run by Ed Cox, they have no formal effort to strengthen the county party or the county election workers. This should be one of their top priorities, not attending galas.
Interesting video. Thanks!
