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.....
Nixon’s son in law!
The Michigan GOP has imploded. It’s the same thing. Not as much corruption as stupidity. The chair was the epitome of Peter Principle and either made stupid decisions or no decisions. She was finally forced out through the written process. Unfortunately sycophants are still fighting her dismissal instead of focusing on the real enemy.
Rush was right. The GOP is more invested on losing with dignity rather than winning with strength.
I no longer live in Michigan. I had to leave when Jenny Granholm destroyed the state. I live in Maryland where the GOP is pretty much non-existent.
Me too. It’s a badge of honor. At the very least, a person who can see through the BS.
It was pretty clear the GOP died in NYS when they endorsed John Kasich.
The Democrat Wayne County Clerk combined all the precincts in Wayne County into one massive vote stealing vote counting center at Cobo (Or TCF center as it was known then, or Huntington Place as it is known today) and refused to let Republican poll watchers get within 15 feet of the poll workers validating signatures on absentee ballots, thus preventing Republicans from challenging signatures.
Once the ballot was separated from the envelope, there was no way to ever challenge that vote later.
Which is why I say if you wish to vote absentee, you forfeit you right to a secret ballot. Your ballot will be coded to you, and if there is a successful challenge to the signature envelope later down the road, the encoded ballot can then be looked up and its votes removed from the final tally.
I was shocked...especially the revealing of the Dominion corruption!
I love the guy, but don't fall for Mike Lindell's red herring that Dominion machines switched votes. It didn't happen.
In most states using Dominion machines, including Michigan, there is a paper ballot that is scanned and counted by Dominion machines. But the paper ballots are still available for a hand recount, and any Dominion machine vote swapping would be caught by manually hand counting the paper ballots, and no such vote swapping was discovered.
The machine reading errors in Arizona was a different matter entirely, as ballots were rejected, and poll workers sent voters to try again at a different precinct, which discoraged an unknown number of voters to just go home.

Well said.
Yeah, I still don’t understand how Bidet got more votes than the Chicago Jesus.
Pithy.
Have election-theft deniers considered for a moment what the proper stance would be if an election were indeed (or our elections routinely were) stolen?
Sasha Stone is a man and he is very involved in the truther movement and getting people to achieve a higher level of consciousness. People like well, you. 😆
They got me pegged! Here is something I wrote back then.
After years of watching Presidential elections, I have come to the conclusion that there is an under the table handshake between the two parties to share the Office of the President.
When one party has a strong candidate the other party then runs a weak candidate. Think of McGovern, Mondale, Dukakis, Kerry and Gore as the weak ones against strong Republican candidates.
Then think of Dole, McCain and Romney as weak candidates against strong Democrat candidates. When Sarah Palin became too popular at campaigning the Republicans held her back.
As for the 2016 election, Hillary was the chosen strong candidate against a man who was not a politician. She was already deemed the President, polls and interviews showed she was going to be the winner no matter what. No need to “cheat”.
The Election was just a formality, the magazines declaring her the winner had already been printed.
One problem. TRUMP overwhelmingly won, throwing everything into a cocked hat. Since that time the elites that secretly decide elections have worked overtime to remove Trump.
In the last election Trump drew thousands to his rallies but Biden drew maybe a bus load and flies. The election showed Trump ahead till thousands of suddenly, under mysterious circumstances, “found” votes gave it to Biden. The “Fix” was in. They could not afford to let Trump win.
Now think back to 1980. The Dems screamed that Ronald Reagan was too old to be President as he was 70 years of age when he took office. There were bets he would not last his first term, and one magazine had an illustration of Reagan laying on an autopsy table.
Yet now the Dems are pushing a 78(now 81) year old brain dead senile old man claiming he is the best for the job. I Bet Kamalla Harris is chomping at the bit to take over. Probably the only way a woman will get the Presidency. Jill better watch Biden’s back close.
And apparently you haven't watched Mike Lindell's video "Absolute Proof"
with testimony from 9 American heroes; experts from the FBI, DOJ, CIA, MIT, etc proving the election was rigged.
And DOMINION had a part in it. Their own people saying the machines are controllable by sources on the internet!
See number 10 and please rethink your ‘cute’ condemnation
Yes, I did.
And apparently you haven't watched Mike Lindell's video "Absolute Proof"
Yes, I have, and I've also watched Rudy Giuliani's testimony before the Michigan House Oversight Committee.
with testimony from 9 American heroes; experts from the FBI, DOJ, CIA, MIT, etc proving the election was rigged.
I didn't say the election wasn't rigged. It was rigged by flooding large Democratically-controlled cities like Detroit Wayne county with bogus mail-in ballots with zero signature verification. What I said was Dominion machines didn't alter votes.
And DOMINION had a part in it. Their own people saying the machines are controllable by sources on the internet!
Did you not read the part where I said that manual hand recounts of paper ballots showed no meaningful differences from the Dominion machine counts? If Dominion machines altered Trump votes to Biden votes, then a hand recount of the paper ballots would have uncovered the discrepancy. But all hand counts in Michigan lined up with the Machine counts. So the steal involved flooding the ballot box with bogus absentee ballots that were also subsequently hand recounted.
Should Dominion machines be on the internet? NO. Should Dominion admin login passwords be the default factory password? NO. Did Dominion machines switch Trump votes to Biden votes? NO.
Mike Lindell is a patriot, a true American, and a staunch Trump supporter. But when it comes to Dominion voting machines switching votes, he was sold a bill of goods.
these are the reasons that I have come to dislike democrats.
1. our nation is a constitutional republic, not a 2 wolves and a sheep democracy.
2.Nixon won because he was right for the time, not the tyranical LBJ, or the bent knee McGovern. Nixon got us out of Vietnam.
3. Clinton soiled the carpet of the Oval Office in a manor that best suited a brothel.
4. Algore thought he was god’s gift to science.. If what he said was true, with Obama parroting, why do they own beachfront homes?
5. Hillary the Communist lawyer, rode and attempted to magnify her husband’s côattails.
