Oklahoma wants to teach the Big Lie in schools – I predicted red states would do this

See my post below where I predicted this in 2022

Oklahoma taxpayers will now be paying at least $33 million to teach high-schoolers to deny election results.Superintendent of Public Instruction Ryan Walters “used deceptive tactics in order to pass new last-minute changes” to the high school curriculum. open.substack.com/pub/populari…

Another loss for Oklahoma's MAGA mini-me Ryan Walters.OK's supreme court blocked new social studies standards that included conspiracy theories about covid and about Trump's loss in 2020. And they blocked the law putting bibles in public schools.

It’s finally Election Day 2024

I am confident now that Harris will win. She seems to have all of the momentum and Trump is just focusing on his grievances. I look forward to the results with both optimism and apprehension.

However, just like last time, we won’t know the final results for several days. Trump will declare victory tonight, regardless. If he is losing, he’s already said it’s because of (non-existent) fraud.

His cult has been told he will win. If he doesn’t, I expect dozens of lawsuits (some already filed), and involvement from state legislatures and courts. I don’t count on the Supreme Court to do the right thing if cases get to them.

There could be violence. At least, with a Democratic president, the Capitol will be protected this time. Also, the hundreds of convictions for January 6 may discourage some Trump cult members from staging a repeat.

I am not optimistic about long-term unity and common goals for our country. Thanks to Trump, Fox News, and social media, we now have two sets of facts – the real ones and what MAGA believes. I don’t think the Republican Party will ever go back to being a traditional conservative party like it was. Once Trump is gone, MAGA will find another cult leader. I wouldn’t be shocked if it was Donald Trump, Jr. since this is a cult of personality, not ideas.

I lived through the turbulent times of the 1960s and this is a lot different and worse. Back then, there was disagreement on what to do but only one set of facts.

Just like in 2020, the Trump cult won’t believe it if Harris wins. That’s a bad start.

Most of the GOP still denies the results of the 2020 election

The majority of Republicans will never accept that Biden won a fair election

It;’s been over three yars since the election. This isn’t going to change.

I hope I’m wrong but I don’t think Trump will get convicted

I think Trump is guilty and should be convicted of most or all of the 91 counts in the several trials. However, I don’t think it will happen.

Do you really think that a group of 12 jurors won’t include someone who believes Trump is innocent? I’m sure they would like and say they would be objective during the jury selection process. 

I expect the results to be hung juries of maybe 10-2 or 11-1 against Trump. Maybe he gets convicted of some minor stuff.

If Trump is not convicted, I think this will help him in the election., He’ll rant and say the charges were fake. I am shocked that so far the indictments haven’t hurt him in election polling. Since this is the case, I don’t think hung juries with majorities against him will hurt him either.

Remember the second impeachment? 57 Senators voted against him. Anybody who got 57% in an election would say it was a landslide, Unfortunately, it wasn’t enough to show Trump was guilty. The bar for impeachment and jury trials is high. I think that just like with the impeachments, Trump will get away not being held accountable.

I have a tweet with over 500 likes

The Trump cult comments show that I am right about them. I’m fed up with their personal insults. They don’t know me. I never make comments about them. It’s discouraging. Their attitude and inability to accept facts make it improbable that we will ever be able to undo the damage Trump has done.

I made a typo when I used a semi-colon instead of a comma.
