2024 election – Page 17

Here are tweets from Paul Farhi from the Washington Post and an email I sent him. (It’s similar to an email I sent to Ben White at Politico which I posted on the blog but was rejected by their email system.)

The media still gives Trump lots of coverage but ratings may be down because people have lost interest. Here’s a link to an article I linked to in the email.

Trump’s blog has staggeringly small audience – The Washington Post

–NYTimes: 78.8 million (-8.2/month, -37.3/year).
–WashPost: 75.0 million (-3.6/month, -25.0/year).

If the Democrats win the 2024 presidential election, I have serious doubts that Republicans will accept the results. They will never accept the results of the 2020 election. They are trying to pass laws to let legislatures bypass election results and pick electors. This has the potential to be a disaster.

Imagine that Biden wins the 2024 election by a clear margin. Republican state legislatures immediately pass laws seeking to invalidate his victory in their states, and a Republican-controlled House votes to give the presidency to Trump.

Who does the military back?

Stop saying Republicans are "cowards" who "fear Trump." This lets them off the hook in a very fundamental way. They *want* a future in which they treat hated election outcomes as subject to invalidation. They are building this future right now. New piece:https://t.co/qcal2NceYU

This is the undercovered aspect of the new GOP-passed voting laws: allowing states legislatures to overrule election officials. https://t.co/NO2PikZlbC

GOP hostility to democracy threatens to "create a series of unprecedented roadblocks to majority rule. Not just by suppressing the vote or drawing unfair districts, but by refusing to accept the vote itself."

Here's Greg's excellent column on Republicans moving toward never accepting electoral losses. Mine above is an exploration of the religious and psychological reasons for their conduct https://t.co/pKxmaVldMN
