You are used to ignoring the lying, outrage-seeking, politically manipulative media. But this time, they are spinning lies directly about you. They are exploiting the awful travesty of some people’s inexcusable violence to delegitimize and shame every responsible citizen who took reasonable and lawful means to raise legitimate questions about election integrity.
Perhaps you hope you can offer some perspective, tell your side of things. But it’s too late. The media spin is overwhelmingly effective. Nobody will listen, they have made up their minds. They sincerely believe the lies, the disinformation, the emotional manipulation. They sincerely believe you are a dangerous traitor simply for going to DC and voicing reasonable skepticism.
No, they won’t even acknowledge it is reasonable skepticism. They insist you are a foolish traitor. Your beliefs are unfounded, your questions misplaced. Your skepticism about the election is not only unpatriotic but irrational. It doesn’t even deserve to heard. It isn’t based on rightly-credentialed “evidence.” It doesn’t have properly authorized “sources.”
In a healthy democracy, populist skepticism could lead to bipartisan reform efforts to restore confidence in election procedures. But the powers that be do not even acknowledge the legitimacy of any skepticism.

The 75 or 80 million people who voted for Trump know that the election was stolen. If the Democrats honestly believed that they won without cheating, they would welcome an impartial investigation of the vote counting in the swing states. Likewise they should want an honest accounting of what happened on Jan. 6th and what led up to it—but because it was part of their plot to discredit and defame everyone who voted for Trump that will never happen.
A nation lives or dies based on the morality and wisdom of its citizens. Sadly, we’re losing both.
Wow, you sure post from that “American Mind” blog a lot.

Almost as if you were just here to promote it.
Very well done.
It is exactly the sort of thing very appropriate for freerepublic.
Good article. Thanks for posting.
I really appreciate your posting this. As a very old hand, and very infrequent poster, I can say this is very good thinking/writing.
Blessings!
This is a very good article, but I guess we must write the ending for ourselves. The ending is very bleak.
Wow, you sure conplain about potential blog posts a lot...
Thank you for posting this. It is excellent writing and very well thought out.
I hope it isn’t against the rules to post from a blog that doesn’t ask for money, doesn’t promote hate, or run ads. /s
I get Claremont in my emails too, I would think it would be a source for a number of FReepers.
