Is loser election denial dead?

[marvin martian]

Maybe that's true. In 2016 Trump claimed that 3 to 5 million illegals voted.

Was Trump a legitimate president?

The two-year and ongoing exposure and indictment of all the masterminds, coordinators, operatives, and accomplices in the vast, nationwide caper is a testament to the nefarious nature of the election heist of 2020.

Some were duped by all those recounts, audits, investigations, dozens of court challenges, and fifty state certifications, but they're a stealthy lot.

When they even get to Cyber Ninjas, you know they're good.

Secretary of State Raffensperger's cursory search under the seat cushions was just one instance of flagrant electoral chicanery.

"All I want to do is this: I just want to find 11,780 votes,
which is one more than we have...
Fellas, I need 11,000 votes, give me a break!"​

The stupidity and gullibility of Trump voters knows no bounds.

 

[Dragonlady]

Was Trump a legitimate president?

Was Trump legally elected, yes. Was he a legitimate President. No. He always intended to screw over the country and overthrow the government.

The stupidity and gullibility of Trump voters knows no bounds.

I prefer to be charitable, and presume that their cerebral faculties defer to emotional idolatry.

 

[schmidlap]

The constant whining from the right about voter fraud is starting to get pretty sad.

The 2020 election saw eleven more Republicans elected to Congress.

None of them are whining about the legitimacy of the election.

Was Trump a legitimate president?

Did Trump ever prove that 3 to 5 million illegals voted?

 

[Dragonlady]

I prefer to be charitable, and presume that their cerebral faculties defer to emotional idolatry.

While emotion does trump logic (pun intended), the right wing billionaire owned media seems to finally be turning on Trump. And as House Republicans gleefully announce investigations of Hunter Biden and revenge, Stephen Miller sat in the background egging them on. Nothing about fighting inflation or lowering gas prices.

If Republicans continue to fiddle while inflation burns, they'll lose the House completely in two years. Nobody cares about Hunter's laptop.

Evangelical Christians have also turned on Trump. He's a liability.

A guy who loses every election he participates in is of no use to either group.

See, you're an election denier, and a threat to our democracy.

Trump made the accusation, not I. You're really dumb.

 

[marvin martian]

Trump made the accusation, not I. You're really dumb.

So, was Trump a legitimate president?

 

[Cellblock2429]

The refusal to honestly confront reality and respect the certified will of the People was a direct assault upon democracy, even more pernicious than the goon attack on outnumbered police defending our Congress as it discharged its Constitutional duties.

Is democracy's recovery imminent?

Voters in Great Lakes states deliver election deniers a stiff rebuke​

Voters rejected election deniers across the country last week. But they did so with particular verve along the Great Lakes.​

​

In Minnesota, the Democratic secretary of state defeated by a 10-point margin a Republican challenger who baselessly called the 2020 election rigged and pushed for restricting early voting. ​

​

In Wisconsin, voters handed Gov. Tony Evers (D) a second term, declining to reward a candidate backed by Trump who left open the possibility of trying to reverse the last presidential election. In Pennsylvania, Attorney General Josh Shapiro (D) crushed Republican Doug Mastriano, who had highlighted his willingness to decertify voting machines if he won the governorship.​

​

But perhaps the biggest statement on democracy came in Michigan, where voters by large margins rebuffed a slate of Republican election deniers running for governor, attorney general and secretary of state. They also embraced an amendment to the state constitution that expands voting rights and makes it much more difficult for officials to subvert the will of voters. In the process, they flipped the legislature with the help of new legislative maps drawn by a nonpartisan commission, giving Democrats complete control of state government for the first time in 40 years.​

​

All of that led Michigan Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson (D) to make a bold prediction, one that might have seemed far-fetched before the vote: “Democracy ultimately will emerge from this time period stronger than ever before — more robust, healthier, with more people engaged and believing in it than perhaps they did back in 2018 or 2019.”​

​

In other battlegrounds across the country, voters rebuffed election deniers, but in many cases not as resoundingly as they did in the states bordering the Great Lakes. Katie Hobbs (D) beat election denier Kari Lake (R) by a slim margin in the Arizona race for governor and, in Nevada, Sen. Catherine Cortez Masto (D) barely withstood a challenge from election denier Adam Laxalt (R)...​

​

J.D. Vance (R), who falsely claimed the 2020 election was stolen, won his bid for Senate. But three other election deniers running in competitive House districts in Ohio lost.​

​

The relatively smooth election process and the repudiation of election deniers was heartening to many election officials who had watched the systems they run undermined by Trump’s push to overturn the 2020 presidential vote.​
