Republicans only think elections are legitimate if they win

I’ve written about this before. It’s not just presidential elections. Look how Republican legislatures have treated Democratic governors elected in North Carolina, Wisconsin and Michigan. Now they won’t seat a state senator who won a close race in Pennsylvania.

The latest bad Trump cult idea – secession

Actually, I would be fine splitting the country up. The blue states have 70% of the GDP and will do better without subsidizing poor red states. I admire Biden for thinking it’s possible but unity is a pipe dream. We have a large share of the country that doesn’t believe in facts. I don’t know how we can reach a consensus on anything if we can’t agree on facts.

I would never had said it before but maybe splitting up the country would be best at this point.

Trump keeps getting worse

Trump cult voting machine conspiracy theories

One way Trump is trying to overturn the election is to claim there were voting machine problems, There was even talk of seizing the machines. The Trump cult talk about a company called Smartmatic was so off that the right-wing media had to retract it. Trump lost. They will never admit it.

Nonsense about Trump winning more counties

The Trump cult can’t accept that voters picked Biden. They are trying to get courts to overturn the election. They are trying to get states to have legislatures pick electors. Now they are spewing nonsense about how Trump won a lot more counties. He did but the population between counties varies considerably. This is nonsense. It’s clear they will never accept that Trup lost andwill keepo finding to spin crackpot fraud ideas.

There’s no point in trying to show facts to the Trump cult

A minority (but a large one) will always believe the 2020 election was stolen. Do you really think they would believe articles from the New York Times or the Washington Post that prove it wasn’t? They’ve been brainwashed to think these are fake news factories. Sad!
