The Darkness Where Democracy Dies
American Thinker.com ^ | November 10, 2020 | Dan Wells

For many on the eve of what would be Joe Biden’s dubious ascendancy, it seems the Washington Post slogan, “Democracy Dies in Darkness,” truly describes the times.

We are being asked to trust the Democratic officials in four heavily Democratic cities where the vote count turned sharply in Biden’s direction in the dead of night, behind closed doors.

There is a sad history of elections being stolen in those rooms in the past, but never this easily (with the availability of mail-in ballots). And never this brazenly, with legally guaranteed and court-ordered access denied GOP officials. The mainstream press monolithically asserts that charges of vote fraud are baseless. Where is your evidence? they ask smugly. You have hidden it is the only answer. But if it looks like a duck and quacks like a duck…

At the beginning of the presidency of Donald Trump, The Washington Post adopted their new slogan, “Democracy Dies in Darkness,” which became a rallying cry of the #resistance. It is a slogan meant to sound a warning that the president is a threat to the free press.

President Trump definitely has been critical of the press -- he is famous for monikers like “Fake News CNN” and “The Failing New York Times.” To be sure, his accusations have not been meaningfully refuted, but they have been endlessly decried. By promoting their new slogan, the Post purports to protect itself, along with every other duplicate mainstream entity, from the attacks of the president. Apparently, the Fourth Estate sees itself as untouchable, even as it relentlessly assails the president of the United States in unison, on every spurious ground it can devise.

It's hard to see when your head is so deeply buried in the sand.

We only need to prove ONE case of fraud in each contested state proving the system lacked integrity and open to fraud.
One case and all votes are disenfranchised and their vote is no longer one person one vote - election has to be thrown out as not complying with the constitution.

So here’s the question? How is this remedied?

Obviously there can’t be a new election in the states with the issues, that would affect way too many voters and would be nearly impossible to get done before ratification of election on December 12th.

The states that used the software in question, should be required to recanvas the ballots against different software in order to validate the results.

If there are specific precincts, counties or states identified as having allowed illegal (received after 8pm, signatures not validated, ballots from deceased voters, duplicate ballots, etc.) ballots to enter the system in such away that they cannot be removed, would not their ballot tablulations have to be invalidated as “spoiled” and removed from the general tabulations?

I can’t see any other way to prevent those illegal ballots from “disenfranchising” those voters, precincts, counties and states that did things properly.

The USA is done—Their hate for Trump caused them to kill the system that spawned him. If this is permitted to stand (and it will be) There will no longer be any free elections. Only approved people will be elected—Democrats of the right kind or RINOs who will talk like Republicans but vote the way they are told. Really a sad day. But, we must go forward with the new reality (not really New).
1. Realize We been had (as we were under Obama too).
2. Realize we are not Free and will never be from now on.
3. China set this up with the pandemic—it was deliberate to get Trump out and end the tariffs.
4. The big tech dudes have embraced the lies of the left.
5. China is no longer Communist—the working men get screwed there as they will screw our working class.
6. They have bought our loyalty with this cheating election-—They will dress it up like a “fair Election” and demand we accept it “for the Good of the Nation” (what nation? China?).
7. Wise up we are being played for Chumps. The Fix was in—the election was as fixed as any WWE match. The FBI/CIA? Big Media? Big Tech —all in on it.
8. The next question is what do we do?
A) Don’t buy any newspapers. Let them fold up. They will not Government will prop them up as useful tool to control us—as they will CNN and others-BUT we don’t have to watch them.
B) Toss away your American Flag (its going to change anyway and be “Out of Date” soon).
C) Who to blame? US—we did it by being asleep at the switch. We lost in 2018 when Congress went to Democrats.
D) Not support for Biden-Harris, they don’t deserve it. Boos should be their only welcome.
E) Realize that we have been snookered and realize we have few tools left to us. Resist in many ways. We are an occupied nation now.

Please Coservatives , make a habit of correcting people when they use the word Democracy as connected to our USA. We are not a Democracy. We are a Republic and don’t forget it. I grind my teeth when I see the word Democracy

All the government workers are loving it...Everyday is like a party.
If you sit out in the lobby ..you can hear them laughing and having a good time.
..even the small local offices..Do all the government offices now have ID entrances...why would they need a ID entrance in some small town local government office?
Are they preparing for something?

If the election truly was stolen, then how do we reform the system from this point on?
