Elections Have Consequences; Stolen Elections Have Catastrophes
American Thinker ^ | 16 Mar, 2023 | J.B. Shurk

Posted on 03/16/2023 6:34:01 AM PDT by MtnClimber

Trust is a tricky thing to restore...and the American people don't trust their country's elections.

"Put the adults back in charge," they whined. "Donald Trump will break the world," they lied. Well, they manipulated election rules to certify suspicious vote totals that preposterously portrayed senile Joe Biden as the most popularly elected president in history; censored and locked up anyone who complained; and covered up their crimes with J6 show trials drenched in untruths meant to hide from history the Uniparty's underhanded machinations in outright stealing a presidential election. The whole mess was so banana-republic-yucky that Biden was inaugurated behind barbed wire and a show of military force befitting the small junta who attended the successful coup's celebration. And as a result of the Uniparty's installation of Dementia Joe as White House marionette, the American people have been plagued with crime, inflation, political persecution, COVID tyranny, deadly battlefield retreat, open borders, staggering drug deaths, proxy wars, bankruptcies, bank runs, endless new regulations, a plummeting standard of living, economic panic, and social volatility. Elections have consequences, but stolen elections have catastrophes.

SNIP

Here's an idea: when more than half the country believes that "cheating likely affected the outcome of the 2020 presidential election" and that future election outcomes cannot be trusted, then that crisis in confidence reflects catastrophic government failure. In functioning republics with reliable voting systems, allegations of electoral malfeasance are a "big deal." When nothing less than the people's faith in the democratic process is at stake, then representative government will not survive unless the people perceive that process to be fair, transparent, and above reproach. When they instead judge elections as corrupt, manipulated, and unverifiable, the blame for such disastrous public perception lies entirely with government officials.

Team corruption is currently winning and the society/economy shows it.

This is why we are doomed. An illegitimate criminal who perpetrated a coup is still treated like he won. The criminals are in charge of every agency in America and until something is done about it, we will continue to be doomed.

If not corrected, where this ends up is use of force. That's how it always ends.

What happens after is generally not good historically, the American Revolution being one shining exception out of a few.

I wish your comment could be dismissed as simply "Gloom & Doom", but unfortunately, you're spot on. We are in heap big trouble.

People who think we can vote our way out of this mess are in denial, but we have to keep trying -- get out and vote in 2024, and maybe with divine intervention, America can reverse course.

...the most popularly elected president in history;

It was so obvious Ray Charles could have seen that.

Voting elects new scoundrels. It can’t fix the cultural rot, political polarization, endemic corruption, and ethical/moral decline. Our system is suffering from many hard-to-cure ills.

We are in much deeper trouble that most realize. Once a house has been infested with termites it cannot be easily repaired. Just saying.

I tend to agree, but my husband says every time I complain about something in politics, “what are you going to do about it, vote?”

Yup. These past too RAT erections, 2020 and 2022, have done more damage to the planet and humanity than would be done by getting slammed with a 5 mile wide asteroid.

From the article:

“Well, they manipulated election rules to certify suspicious vote totals that preposterously portrayed senile Joe Biden as the most popularly elected president in history”

Nobody votes for an old coot like Biden. They vote against his opponent. Trump gave us 3 good Supreme Court justices and for that I will always be grateful. But in other ways his presidency did not live up to the hype. He did not fix the deficit, he did not build the wall or get Mexico to pay for it, and he did not lock up Hillary Clinton. Worse, he never fired Fauci and actually promoted the clot shot. All while doing nothing to convince people not already in his camp to vote for him.

“censored and locked up anyone who complained”

Did they lock up anyone who complained about the election results or anyone who trespassed in the Capitol building on January 6? There’s a difference. If the former, how are Newsmax and OANN still operational?

Yes. And Trump won because people voted against Hillary.

They voted for Trump because they were voting against everybody else. And that will be the case again.

Yes - Team Corruption is winning. After examining all the evidence - the counting stopping in the 5 swing states to assess what was needed; the drop boxes and D’Souza expose on the ballot stuffing; the sudden new rules on signature verification, essentially by-passing all the rules. This was a massive take-over of our nation. The Marxist regime that has been installed will not be unseated by voting.

All I know is that Trump had big leads in the key swing states when they stopped the counting. Strangely, two hours later when the counting resumed, Biden was winning in all of these states.

Absolute YEP!

Too many choose to ignore hard evidence (especially the dynamic/real-time facts from the 2020 election) of fraudulent voting that ALWAYS favors demonrats.

The California commiecrat party further demonstrated complete reliance on fraud by proposing drivers licenses for illegals combined with "motor voter" where voter registration is issued with the DL.

What’s more no republican has a chance of winning in 2024. Not with the federal government weaponized to bring out the democrat vote. Plus federally subsidized non profits empowered to interface with the voting system to bring out the democrat vote—especially illegals.

Voting planners in the democrat party are likely working with immigration to make sure that illegals go to contested counties around the USA to pad the vote for democrats.

I think that the Xao Bi-Dung regime and the CCP are making sure that they have adequate "election insurance".

Here’s a poser that occurred to me the other night.

It is obvious to any person without a closed/corrupted mind that 2020 was a steal.

So, if DJTrump gets in for 2024, dare he do an investigation to prove it was corrupt? Emotionally, I say yes. Follow it up with lots of public guillotines . But, that could mean the BeiingBiden was installed and DJT legitimately elected. So, would DJT’s election in 2024 mean he was elected a 3rd time?
It would seem, YES.
Oops.
