#election denial

[itsmythang]

According to MAGA, nothing in our democracy is trustworthy — not the machines, not the voters, not the election officials, not the press, not the courts, not even Trump’s own attorney general. not even the supreme court

Yet we’re supposed to believe Donald Trump is the lone source of truth. That’s not logic. That’s a loyalty test.

Short and brutal:

If everyone is lying except Donald Trump, the problem isn’t the system — it’s the cult.

Trump intelligence pick Jay Clayton refuses to say Biden won 2020 election

Clayton, if confirmed, would replace Bill Pulte, and is facing senators for confirmation as the US’s top spy

Bill Pulte is a horror, but he doesn't look much better to me. Both are likely to interfere with the elections.

Trump's demented rantings and bizarre policy swings are hurting Republicans – and he doesn't seem to care. But it's their own fault because they failed to curb him in the past. Now they are helpless as he drags them under water.

Republicans are forced to defend unpopular stuff like...

Trump's undeclared and bungled forever war with Iran.

Higher prices due to the war and Trump's trade policies.

Trump's ICE agents shooting people dead in their vehicles.

An epidemic of explosive diarrhea due to RFK Jr.'s reduced food safety inspections.

Trump kissing up to foreign dictators while insulting longtime allies.

The weakening of US national security through rapidly depleting stockpiles of weapons and the firing of qualified military staff.

Massive corruption involving Trump's self-enrichment, conflict of interest, and nepotism.

Trump's use of taxpayer money to promote silly grandiose projects to glorify himself – almost always with no-bid contracts.

The Trump gutting of healthcare for the poor and middle class while giving huge tax breaks to billionaires and trillionaires who then show their gratitude with large campaign contributions.

Trump's permitting fossil fuel and other mining companies to devastate environmentally protected areas.

The Trump appointment of hopelessly incompetent cronies and lickspittles to positions of power in the administration.

The cover-up of the Trump-Epstein scandal and treatment with kid gloves of sex offender Ghislaine Maxwell.

Trump's ongoing attempts to undermine renewable energy to please Big Oil companies who give him Big Contributions.

And I could go on and on with this. But you get the general idea.

While Trump obsesses over his bogus claims that he won the 2020 election, Republicans panic over the disaster which awaits them in the 2026 midterms because of their public alignment with Trump.

Was Election Denial Just a Passing Threat?

Or is it here to stay?
