Republicans Have Good Reason Not To Trust The Election Results

To read reports in the mainstream press about the throngs of President Trump’s supporters who rallied in Washington, D.C., over the weekend, you’d think the crowd was made up of a bunch of conspiracy theory-addled rubes and delusional far-right extremists all of them hoodwinked into thinking the election was stolen. To read David Frum’s Twitter take, you’d think they were all Nazis.

The march came on the heels of a poll last week that found a staggering 70 percent of Republicans now say they don’t believe the presidential election was free and fair. That news, like news of the self-described Million MAGA March, was met with a mix of contempt, hysteria, and condescension from Democrats and the media.

Their rough consensus is that GOP voters who still support the president are either treasonous or stupid, reinforced constantly by a brittle insistence that there was “no fraud” in the presidential election. A totemic front-page declaration by the New York Times, “ELECTION OFFICIALS NATIONWIDE FIND NO FRAUD,” has been repeated everywhere, mantra-like. Any claims of voter fraud or ballot-counting irregularities, whether from President Trump or the tens of thousands who marched over the weekend, are “baseless,” “unfounded,” and have “no evidence” behind them.

There’s a palpable nervousness about the media’s insistence that the election was as pure as the driven snow. Maybe they seem so nervous because they know what everyone in America knows: there was nothing pure or secure or even ordinary about the election...

If you look at all of the extraordinary ways they’ve tried to take Trump down so far, why is it so hard to believe that they would use any corrupt method they could get away with to change the outcome of the election?

Thank you very much for that. I have that one and a couple more at the top of my FR homepage (link in my tagline).

I think these live video examples are the most powerful evidence we have in our own hands.

Yet not once have I seen these clips on a single televised news segment, not even on OAN, Newsmax, etc. I don’t know if Trump himself has linked them either.

THEY KNOW this is indisputable. We need to get them out there, somehow.

Something’s weird. It took me to Wiki Main Page but I didn’t see anything about the Consent Decree. Am I missing something? (This is your golden opportunity to say “HELL YEAH YOU ARE!” Heh heh

That link worked fine. Some pretty good info there about the hows, the whys, and the wherefores of how the decrees come to be.

What happened in the city of Philadelphia is one good reason to be questioning. Also what happened in Wisconsin, Michigan, and Georgia is another example. There are other states which are questionable, like Arizona for example. In Philadelphia, the democrats excluded Republican observers from watching 800,000 votes being counted after the envelopes were discarded. How is that not questionable? Democrats cheated!!!
