True, we haven't perfected time travel. But then 2020 came along.
I believe many on the left feel the same way about Trump. Lacking a time machine, the 2020-equivalent question was "would you steal the election by whatever means, to remove Trump from office? Because, ya know, he's Hitler."
We are seeing their "yes" right now.
I bet most Bidet supporters sure as heck see lots of problems and believe that the election was fraudulent, and it is very likely that Trump won by a mile. But, because Orange Man Bad, these Guardians of Civilization grip onto whatever half-baked rationale for the "legitimacy" of the results, to keep the inquiry into irregularities stopped. Then, they crank up the volume to 11 on these Jan 6 "hearings", because they feel morally justified.
2020 was a de facto going back in time to kill Hitler. The corollary, is that the left needs to keep it up, because unlike in their theoretical head where Hitler is dead, Trump is still a fighting force AND Puddin' Head isn't strong.
Clarence Thomas got it right, when he wrote about the protests (threats?) from the Roe leak: "We are becoming addicted to wanting particular outcomes, not living with the outcomes we don't like."
This new dogma - "anything goes if we are morally justified" is an extension of this article:
.... What (liberals) really want is liberal Sharia law, a secular theocracy. The minimum wage, gender equality, nationalized health care, and global warming—whatever their practical virtues—are not just expedient policy prescriptions. They are essential aspects of the liberal fatwa. Feminism, deconstruction, and gender theory are not just academic abstractions up for discussion among liberal academics: They are articles of their religious creed. Question them and you are not just wrong—you are a heretic.
...for them, politics is the means to secular salvation...political failure is not just a setback on the road
The percentage of Democrats who believe it is morally acceptable to steal an election is fairly high and growing. It is just farther out on the curve with Trump.
