THE SAD TRUTH

If you listen to the MSM, including some people on FOX, the big lie is that the 2020 election was rigged. But, while there has yet to be enough solid evidence regarding the extent of the fraud to overturn the election, the really big lie is that there was no reason to question the results. The real problem here is that under the current system this country put a pathetic incompetent person in the White House, as President of the United States, and there is no option available to fix things if it turns out the election was fraudulent. The really, really, really big lie is that this is not a fundamental problem.

Currently an incredibly high percentage of Americans question the integrity of the 2020 election. They are not all hysterical and delusional Trump supporters. They are just people who question an election conducted with massive mail-in ballots that both parties agreed, before the election, was a recipe for fraud. Recently Vladimir Putin ridiculed Joe Biden when he said America is a democracy. While Putin is not exactly a great guy, he has a point. If we cannot conduct elections, such that people can have confidence in the results, are we really a democracy? What could be more divisive than conducting a national election in a manner that is impossible to trust?

What should have happened is that both parties should have demanded a prompt and quick investigation of the 2020 election, long before January 6th. The real problem on January 6, 2021, was not the rhetoric of Donald Trump, but rather the fact that congress was ready, willing, and able to just approve the results of the election with zero attempt to verify the results and with little regard to the consequences. I am reminded that those who criticize Trump and others for questioning the results of the election are missing something important. Putting someone like Joe Biden in the White House is an irreversible error and if evidence is produced that shows the 2020 election was indeed fraudulent, we have no current means of fixing this. When you combine this with the pathetic results both nationally and internationally and watch Joe Biden deteriorate mentally every time he appears in public, it is becoming a perfect storm. A storm made even worse by the fact that according to the constitution, if something happens to Joe, which seems inevitable, Kamala Harris becomes President. Whether fair or not, she has almost zero support from the American people and extraordinarily little support even from the Democratic Party.

I must admit that, so far, the attempts to audit the election seem to be missing the mark. It seems like the real problem is that this election was run so poorly with such ineffective controls that we may never know the full extent of the fraud. In addition, the MSM, including FOX, is refusing to investigate this at all. It is often said that absence of evidence is not evidence of absence. Anyone who watched the results slide in during November 2020, saw things happen that create a lot of room for doubt. On election night Trump was leading by a comfortable amount, yet by the next day “miraculous new votes” were found, all for Joe Biden. That was not an illusion invented by Donald Trump. We saw this with our own eyes. And it happened in places absolutely famous for election fraud. One would have to be hopelessly naïve or a reporter for CNN to miss this.

Now combine this with an inept administration, increasing threats internationally, and soaring inflation. Add in an insane campaign to forcibly vaccinate every American, with the vaccines developed solely because of Donald Trump. Then lock them down, again, and require masks, again, in a failed effort to eradicate COVID 19. Even if it were irradicated, it would quickly be replaced by something else. Federal, State and Local Governments have the bit in their mouth and they will never willingly give up this level of control.

American is becoming united on one thought. This sucks! Many people desperately want to prevent Donald Trump from becoming President again, but few want President Joe Biden.

Just today California reintroduced a statewide indoor mask mandate because of surging COVID. The surge is 14 new cases per 100,000 people. How terrifying! While insane, it is clear that mask mandates are likely to be with us for a long time. Even the doctor announcing the mask mandate admitted he was sick of them. So far, here in Sacramento County, a lot of people willing wear masks. But just five miles away, in El Dorado County, few people wear masks. I think we are potentially on the verge of a mask revolt.

It is important to remember that when people revolt over anything they are likely to revolt over almost everything. Hopefully, this will be through the election process, but if people lose faith in the honesty of our election, we will be headed toward a very scary future.
