A solid majority of Americans know that the 2020 election was fraudulent. That’s a big problem for a country with a representative government, one in which the leaders are supposed to represent the will of the people. We’re a nation of laws ostensibly flowing from a Constitution that sets out explicit limitations on the federal government’s powers and protects a variety of citizens’ rights upon which said government cannot infringe. To the degree that a significant majority of citizens feel that the leader of this government was not constitutionally elected, that’s a problem.
For all its importance, our Constitution is nothing more than a piece of paper. It doesn’t make laws. It doesn’t have an army. It’s not the police. It’s just words on paper. It functions because Americans have confidence in its words as the foundation for the laws of our country and the guideposts governing the actions of those who actually control the army and the police and write the laws.
When that confidence is shaken, society’s foundation is shaken. While the fraudulent election of 2020 is not the first example of that shaken confidence in government, it’s easily the most important. From the economic upheavals wrought by the Industrial Revolution to widespread hopelessness during the Depression to the perceived fecklessness during the Vietnam War and economic malaise of the 60s and 70s, confidence in government has been shaken before but never before has the government’s legitimacy been in widespread doubt.
That changed with the 2020 election. Americans watched as the fraud played out in real-time, right in front of them. With violent riots in the streets that went unrestrained in the months leading up to the election, with courts inexplicably ignoring countless unconstitutional changes to voting laws, and with the media and social media censoring true stories that harmed Democrat chances, it started to seem as if the scales were tipped to one side. On election night and during the following weeks it became clear that this was indeed the case.
When almost 60% of the American people feel as if the man who is both the leader of the country and the head of the federal government is illegitimate, what are they supposed to do?
There’s nothing to be done we’re told… Not true. The election can be overturned. Not that I imagine there’s sufficient internal fortitude among Republicans to do so but, ideally, they should make the attempt. But how?
The Constitution doesn’t address anything remotely close to reversing a fraudulently achieved election. That’s true, but then it also says nothing about the right to abortion, the government providing welfare payments to citizens (or non-citizens), government control of healthcare, the imposition of CAFÉ standards, or collective bargaining rules. Indeed, there is much that goes on in government that is not in the Constitution. In 1803, Thomas Jefferson worried that the Constitution did not give him the power to make the Louisiana Purchase, but today all or part of 15 states exist because of it.
Like John Marshall’s judicial review doctrine, which you won’t find anywhere in the Constitution, things don’t exist until they do. In this case, in states where fraud is proven or where voting laws were enacted unconstitutionally, the legislatures should withdraw their Electoral College votes and recast them based on accurate and lawful counting of the votes.
It’s true there’s no existing Constitutional mechanism to facilitate that remedy, and the likelihood of a Democrat-controlled Congress doing anything to further it is less likely than a healthy college student dying of COVID, but that doesn’t mean it shouldn’t be done. It should, and it should be driven by those states where fraud so clearly occurred and tipped the election; essentially ground zero for the coup: Georgia, Arizona, Wisconsin, Michigan, and Pennsylvania, all five of which have nominally GOP legislatures.

our Bill of Rights has been shot through with shrapnel, too
we are living in a dictatorship run from behind the scenes by the Commie/Nazi puppetmeisters who seized control of the DNC
so long as they print fake currency and pass out free welfare payments including “covid” cheques,
the animals are happy to be ruled by the pigs
It’s been a relic in a glass case since Usurpation Day.
They swore in a British subject/Kenyan/Indonesian NON-natural born citizen as President in direct violation of that Constitution.
Let’s face it, 2020 is over now. We need to totally capture the house and senate this year or America as we know it is Kaputt!
Country is lost …will take a revolution to right it…street corner hangings…
Pretty sure the regime understands that and will take whatever measures are required to keep themselves from the gallows.
It will be an interesting year.
<>Let’s face it, 2020 is over now.<>
John Locke wrote that a rebuttal is required lest victory be “adjudged not to him who had the truth on his side, but by he who had the last word.”
Even if the five swing states reversed and gave their electoral votes to President Trump, Brandon would still remain el presidente’. But this would cripple the corrupt Biden regime.
The rats know that we know they stole 2020. We must never let it go.
We have no party to stop the corruption.... they took out the one man who could,
I want nothing less than a military removal of the one they put in the seat of power and he knows not what he is or where he is.
He is starting a war and if I were to guess, he has money in the Ukraine.... he will guard their border with our troops and leave the border open.
I have lived a long years... been in war and out of war.. been through many Presidents.. and NEVER.... NEVER have lived like this. They shred the constitution and the media approves... the republican party is AWOL...
Rule of law... gone
Love of this nation... gone
Guard the constitution and live by it... Gone
Protect out borders and this country... gone
Respect... gone
No receiving monies from countries when in service of the nation... gone
Give the people truth.. gone
What the dems have done in the last few years... there is nothing to compare ... it has not ever been like this!
The rats know that we know they stole 2020. We must never let it go.
I agree. We must weaken them as much as we can.
And then volunteer like crazy and watch the polls like hawks every minute in future elections.
But are the Republicans to timid to face the onslaught of new Democratic cheating and really expose it this time or are they stil in bed with the Dems to keep the Trump machine from running again? ... or clever enough to mimic the Democrats dirty tricks and outdo their cheating tactics?
Any game in life, if one is determined not to follow the rules while other side is, the side that does not follow wins, always
So for any election to be meaningful, gop and democrats have to play by same rules, either voter Id or no voter id.
My bet is on democrats, not because they cheat but because gop and conservatives are so stubborn in changing their way of voting and mimic democrats.
If you believe this, then certainly you must console yourself with the idea that while we may now be a banana republic, we are the finest of them...
And when they've been weakened sufficiently, we must crush their destructive ideology along with anyone or anything that stands in the way of that restoration of Liberty.
If there is truly no recourse for Trump if it can be demonstrated that Biden is in office unlawfully, then what, pray tell, would be the point of ever demanding a recount?

History. Future generations must know of pervasive rat criminality.
