    Hillary Clinton and the entire Democratic Party and media establishment spent four straight years claiming the 2016 election was stolen. Are we just supposed to pretend that didn’t happen?

    So in 2016, everyone who hated trump, at the time, doubted the election results. So does that mean they were Dom- t- ists? These, at the time, where called to action by their representatives in 2016, news saying misinformation while covering up real journalism. Despicable I have to worry about my words cause of thought police

    Mitch McConnel shoved 234 judges into institutions that are showing their loyalty to a political party instead of the constitution every day.

    Look around youtube for the the 2017 electoral vote count in Congress. You can see and hear:
    Jim McGovern D Mass object to counting the electoral votes of Alabama
    Jamie Raskin D Maryland object to counting the electoral votes of Florida
    Pramila Jayapal D Washington object to counting the electoral votes of Georgia
    Barbara Lee D California object to counting the electoral votes of Michigan
    Sheila Jackson Lee D Texas object to counting the electoral votes of New York
    Raul Grijalva D Arizona object to counting the electoral votes of North Carolina
    Jackson Lee rose to object two more times
    Maxine Waters D California asking for a senator to cosign her objection to counting votes for Trump.

    I could (way too easily) foresee, in the very near future (say the next presidential election Trump’s running in), some of those 118 that got elected successfully using their authority to discard the legitimate votes in their state and instead install special electors (or whatever they’re called) -same as Trump was hoping to do in 2020. And all it would take is ONE such state flipping illegitimately for Trump, and it being in a key swing state, and the election largely or completely hinging on it…..

    Then suddenly we’re in this position where the Democrats have to either HAND the election over to Trump illegitimately or otherwise claim the federal level of government is rejecting the involvement of a state in its elections, and that opens up a WHOOOOLE big disturbing can of worms -you just know that would likely incite a lot of insurrection in southern states, even if it was totally justified to protect the voting institutions and prevent Trump from winning by cheating.

    I REALLY hope we don’t see that happen, cuz that would absolutely be Trump’s rallying military call to all his supporters “oh look, he was right along, the government is evil and rejecting us!” *SIGH*

    Stalin was an expert at bureaucracy. He was very good at finding loopholes and questionable boundaries and pushed them…sound familiar?

    To be fair, we have millions of election deniers in 2016. The corporate media was in collusion with the election deniers of 2016. How many times did we hear that Russia stole the election? Reap what you sow.

    Basically every presidential election has people that wildly contest it. The summary of case law on it is astounding. The right did it a ton in 2020. The left did it a ton in 2016. And the chaos resulting from those elections combined pales in comparison to that of 1876. Look it up. 😉

    Who let Julia out of SoHo? Nothing she says makes sense to anyone outside of a ten city block radius in Manhattan.

    Funny, almost every democrat said Russia stole the 2016 presidential election with no evidence whatsoever and that was ok.

    The election deniers are lying. They actually know that Joe Biden won. They’re lying to create an illusion.

    Are we supposed to forget that Democrats disputed Trump’s legitimacy for 4 straight years, and pursued conspiracy-theories like the Russiagate hoax endlessly?

    But “oh my, this is unprecedented!” says the liberal, conveniently forgetting their own actions 30 seconds earlier.
