Let’s be totally frank: if on election night 2020 a total of just over 40,000 votes across Georgia, Wisconsin, and Arizona had gone for President Donald Trump instead of Biden it would have eventuated in a complete disaster for both Trump and the GOP with the latter likely out of the presidency for a dozen years or more.
Trump’s 269/269 Electoral College tie “win” i.e., being put into office by a majority of state delegations in the House of Representatives even though he had lost the popular vote by an unprecedented seven million votes, 4.3% behind the “loser,” would have made the 2016 protests against his, also minority popular vote win, seem a Sunday picnic.
The media, already hateful, would have turned venomous, and the atmosphere leading up to the House meeting and determining him re-elected would have been filled with commentary calling on the House delegates to switch their votes, further inflaming the environment.
But should the constitutional process have worked its way through on strictly partisan basis, including Vice-President Mike Pence casting the deciding vote for himself, a sullen quiet would have descended on the country.
Again, being frank, the current inflationary economy commenced its stark rise, caused in the main by the massive creation of money, just after Biden’s inauguration along with the supply chain bottlenecks. Trump would have owned all of it.

Completely ignore the election fraud why don’t you?
The theft. And we’d still have our own energy production, for starters.
IF a frog had wings..............
Lemonade from lemons; finally, even for the slow learners, the democrat corruption is on display in plain view.
Still not worth it.

The President has only so much power—Trump in my opinion slowed things in the right direction on COVID and Inflationary spending, so it would likely have been worse had he not been in (though perversely sometimes theoretical liberals become much more practical when they realize that they will be the sole owner of the consequences), but the inflation train wreck has been in the cards for a while.
GOD knows what He is doing.
This guy thinks that all these “events” were predetermined and that the commie pigs running the white hospice aren’t responsible for it.
Like Trump would have been powerless to stop the oil debacle, hyper-inflation, the war in Ukraine, the border, and the supply chain issues.
His policies were in place to deal with all of those.
China would have been begging for mercy by now, instead of sabre rattling.
Talk-Radio is talking “Communist” instead of Democrat. Probably a good thing.
We also need to rid us of the “Red States” moniker.
This country is an abominable farce led by a bunch of mildly retarded children in all three branches of govt. Trump, at least, kept a lid on the wetback invasion and, most important, the economy in order.
Article makes interesting points. But it is all based on the assumption that the same bad things all would have happened under T. Also it glosses over the part where the election was stolen. Last, while there is merit to the logic that suffering will influence future votes, the article does not mention vaccine mandates. What kind of suffering will come from that? Like most government induced suffering, 1/2 will blame T for rushing the vax and the other 1/2 will blame B for mandating it. It’s called divide and conquer.
Biden is destroying the country from open borders to inflation to the destruction of the fossil fuel industry. And the election was stolen setting the stage for more of it. No, there is no pony in this pile of shit.
The truth is, had the fraud been revealed and the proper votes restored, President Trump would have kept the pipeline, we would have continued with energy independence, our economy would continued to grow strong and Russia would not have dared to invade Ukraine - among many other positive things. We would have had our true leader and our country would have kept its hope.
Stupid Republicans!
That’s a good thing. I like the term “commie” making a comeback.
The Red State moniker isn’t going anywhere. We need to make it a reclaimed term and wear it proudly. The commies did it to bother us. Red is a color on the US flag. We need to call them Yellow states.
Call them yellow diaper babies. Yellow is a commie color too and has an even better connotation to Americans.
Nice strawman the author concocted.
Inflation coincided with Biden because of his own actions. To state it was inevitable is illogical and flat out wrong.
"three branches of govt."
The writer of the piece is an idiot.
WTHeck is Sheppard talking about? They turned venomous when Trump came down the escalator.
I agree. We’re so lucky to have lost. So lucky that President Trump isn’t around to manage a comeback from the economic disaster and lockdown of society. We should be happy that immigration was not kept under control, that Russia wasn’t given license to invade, that the Keystone was canceled, that gas costs nearly twice as much, that our savings and retirement plans are leaking value. Yeah.
Maybe the GOP should throw away the looming advantage for the coming mid-terms so we can even be luckier that we cannot put a stop to Brandon’s dictatorship of the lunatic. Yeah, that’s the ticket.
Here’s a reasonable assumption: Even if Trump won in an Electoral College landslide (and he very likely did), the press would never have been kind to him or to us. The tech giants would never (and may never) rehabilitate their oppressive behaviors.
When the lunatics on our side are writing that losing is lucky, you know the prospects to ever escape the damage of the last year or so are dimming fast. Think of it: four years of effort against all odds to reverse energy dependence to total independence; invasion at the border reduced to a trickle; no new wars involving the US. Undone in a matter of months. We’re lucky? Has American Thinker ever been so thoughtless? Lucky?
No! I refuse to accept such a stupid idea. We must become an Army of John Galts. If we celebrate a loss after the election irregularities of 2020 we will get more such elections.
