Why Democrats’ Massive Effort To Suppress Election Concerns Is Dangerous

“This man was elected president of the United States of America,” Joe Biden declared of Al Gore during a 2013 campaign event when introducing George W. Bush’s Democrat opponent.
 
“There’s no doubt that the Russians did interfere in the election, and I think the interference, although not yet quantified, if fully investigated would show that Trump didn’t actually win the election in 2016,” former President Jimmy Carter proclaimed during a 2019 panel discussion sponsored by his nonprofit organization.
 
“He knows he’s an illegitimate president,” Hillary Clinton seethed when asked about Donald Trump during a CBS interview nearly two years ago, later telling the audience the election was stolen from her.
 
“Rush thought we won, and so do I,” Trump said in an interview with Fox News following radio personality Rush Limbaugh’s death in February 2021, later calling the contest “the fraudulent presidential election of 2020.”
 
Three different presidential elections and four different presidential candidates all claimed the man inaugurated commander-in-chief stole the election. Yet while tolerating claims that Clinton and Gore actually won the White House, the corrupt media immediately co-opted the Nazi comparison Joe Biden deployed in response to Trump’s claims of fraud, branding his charges “The Big Lie.”
 
A Highly Useful Smear Since November
 
Democrats and their paramours in the press didn’t limit the catchphrase to Trump’s claims of widespread fraud during the 2020 election. Rather, when confronted with evidence of illegal voting, disregard of election laws, or states’ violations of the Elector’s Clause of the Constitution, the left casts the complaints as all part of “The Big Lie.” Following the January 6, 2021, assault on our capitol, Democrats need only brandish “The Big Lie” slogan to silence those fearing to be accused of being responsible for, complicit in, or apologists for, the riots.
 
The Left knows this and has sharpened sickles for Sens. Ted Cruz and Josh Hawley, who raised constitutional objections to counting Arizona and Pennsylvania’s electors. They also wielded this weapon to sow further division in the Republican caucus when the GOP decided to remove Rep. Liz Cheney from her leadership position. The press and politicians also brandish “The Big Lie” talking point to discredit investigations into voting irregularities, such as in Arizona.
 
The most effective use of “The Big Lie” storyline, however, has been weaponizing that narrative to mute the growing evidence of widespread illegal voting and other election irregularities and to combat efforts by state legislatures to enact voter-integrity laws.
 



 
When The Federalist broke news recently that evidence indicates more than 10,300 Georgia voters cast illegal ballots in the 2020 presidential election, corporate media kept mum, while FactCheck framed the reporting under the header of “More Trump Election Distortions.” Then, after a local Atlanta investigative journalist went door-to-door confirming that yes, voters on the list of more than 10,300 names had moved counties, as reported, the chief operating officer for the Georgia Secretary of State’s Office excused illegal voting in the wrong county as “ordinary Georgians” just exercising their right to vote.
 
Republican Capitulation Doesn’t Spare Them
 
That a top official with the Georgia Secretary of State’s Office would defend apparent violations of state election law calls into question the seriousness of the office’s supposedly ongoing investigation into whether those 10,300-plus Georgians voted illegally, especially given that Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger has also adopted “The Big Lie” narrative.
 
Predictably, co-opting “The Big Lie” slur from anti-Trump partisans hasn’t saved Raffensperger from attacks from the left: Earlier this month the Biden administration’s Department of Justice filed a highly politicized and frivolous lawsuit against Raffensperger and the state of Georgia, charging the state’s newly adopted voting-integrity statute violates the Voting Rights Amendment.
 
In challenging Georgia’s Election Integrity Act of 2021, Biden’s attorney general, Merrick B. Garland, focused heavily on “the accusations of fraud around the absentee voting process and the tabulation of votes,” that “circulated widely” following the 2020 election, “despite a dearth of evidence.” The DOJ then argued in its complaint that “the lack of evidence of voter fraud in the 2020 election cycle, and numerous statements from the Secretary of State’s office debunking voter fraud claims, tend to undermine the justifications proffered by proponents of” the law.
 
‘The Big Lie’ Claim Is a Dodge
 
Before these filings, Biden had attacked Georgia’s voting-integrity law as “Jim Crow in the 21st century.” While Democrats’ current focus is Georgia, the talking-point of the party (and the pressis that voting rights are “under attack by GOP-controlled states ‘after Republicans seized on former President Donald Trump’s false claim of massive voter fraud in the 2020 election as a pretext for passing new legislation curtailing ballot access.’”
 
Biden later repeated the Jim Crow canard in pushing H.R. 1, the so-called “For the People Act,” which could gut many mainstream state statutes designed to ensure voting integrity, such as voter ID laws. In a speech in Philadelphia earlier this month, after branding state election-integrity laws a “21st-century Jim Crow assault,” the president sought to connect Trump’s attacks on the validity of the 2020 election—calling it both “the Big Lie” and “the most significant test of our democracy since the Civil War”—the January 6, 2021 storming of the capitol, and the supposed imperative for passage of H.R. 1.
 
There is a dangerous confluence of factors at play here that has permeated the press’ coverage of election-related matters. By coloring all criticism of the 2020 election as part of The Big Lie, the left allows itself to ignore evidence of actual fraud, widespread illegal voting, violations of the Elector’s Clause, and, frankly, just plain incompetence.
 
Politically, this approach may currently serve Democrats’ interests because their guy won, but our country is too divided to survive in the long-term if half the populace believes the election was rigged. And while the left blames Trump for “Republicans’ lack of faith in our current election infrastructure,” the evidence tells a different story.
 
Lack of Trust in Election Integrity Is Bipartisan
 
Trump didn’t cause Biden to declare Gore the rightful president. Nor did Trump cause Carter and Clinton to claim the latter won the 2016 election, unless you hold him responsible for Trump Derangement Syndrome.
 
Trump also bears no blame for the fact that 37 percent of Americans surveyed in 2016 believed Russia definitely or probably “tampered with vote tallies in order to get Donald Trump elected President,” with 52 percent of Democrats polled believing such hacking of voting systems took place. By 2018 the percentage of all Americans who believed a foreign country had definitely or probably altered vote totals in Trump’s favor jumped to 42 percent of all Americans and a whopping 67 percent of Democrats.

The 2020 Presidential election was rigged. Anyone saying otherwise is a coward, weak of character, and a Fascist.

As our friends from Latino and Eastern Europe have said over and over again: once the statues come down, once the useful terrorists emerge and are supported by the coup-committing minority, and once the election is rigged…

…it’s over.

Our Republic ended on January 6th. Democrats know.

What makes the Biden/Trump election fraud so different is that is wasn’t, primarily, VOTER fraud.
It was systematic fraud by the people in charge of the elections, the ballots, the counting and the reporting.
The fraud came in the form of fake ballots, printed in China and out-of-state, (like sent from NY to other states) fake emergencies to get rid of those charged with overseeing vote counts, (like the fake water main break) fake mail-in ballots with no folds from being mailed, added boxes of ballots hidden under tables, running Biden-heavy ballots thru the vote counting machines multiple times, photo-copied ballots (all identical) being counted, using non-approved thin paper then handing Sharpies to Republican voters so their ballots would be disqualified as double-voted by the ink’s bleed-thru, voting machinery that adds votes to Biden while subtracting votes from Trump, ballots from imaginary addresses, etc.
Notice this doesn’t hardly involve the individual voter?
Idiots like Greg can almost say, with a straight face, that there was very little voter fraud.

Fraud is fraud and there was a LOT of it to drag that idiot Biden and his wiped butt over the finish line. It’s why their “Hey… Trust Me” election law is such a priority for them. they HAVE to cheat, or they lose.

Again, it is significant that any time a Democrat wants to compare election integrity laws so something bad, they use past Democrat behavior as a comparison. The Civil War and Jim Crow, not to mention the Klan and institutionalized racism are all Democrat creations.

There can be only one explanation for why so many cannot detect the Democrat demagoguery and desperation for the continuance of election fraud: stupidity. There are those who know exactly what they are promoting and supporting, but most are simply too stupid to notice.

Very good news: Fake Pres takes the dive.

WASHINGTON, D.C.—After seeing Olympic gymnast Simone Biles’s inspiring decision to quit the Olympics right before the finals, President Biden has announced that he too will be resigning from the presidency to focus on his own mental health.

“That pretty little gymnast girl quit the Olympics, and that’s just inspiring folks,” said Biden. “I wanted to be President for myself, but after a while, I started to realize I was still doing this for other people. I need to take this time away to focus on my own personal issues instead of always trying to please others. Self-care, folks! Gotta do it!”

Pundits in the media are praising the President for his “courageous” decision to step away to take some time to focus on himself. “Make no mistake–President Biden is a hero for the cause of mental health,” said Brian Stelter, tears welling up in his eyes. “I hope this will inspire more people to take a stand and quit their work. As a matter of fact, I quit!” Stelter then walked off the set, never to be seen again.

Biden’s resignation has prompted a new movement, with everyone across the world walking off their jobs to take more time for themselves.

Biden aides have confirmed the President will be checking himself into a senior living facility later this week.

According to sources, Kamala Harris will be taking over the presidency starting next Monday.

(UPDATE: Kamala Harris has also decided to quit for the sake of her own mental health.”)

Lack of Trust in Election Integrity Is Bipartisan.”

It isn’t, but propaganda could make it so—and that’s someone’s calculated intention.

Oh, really? Speaking of propaganda, you seem to ignore and forget the Democrats, media and criminal Hillary that all disputed the 2016 election, said Trump stole it (with NOTHING like the solid evidence we have on the 2020 election fraud) and claimed the Russians helped Trump, even though the evidence showed they actively assisted Hillary. You also conveniently forget 4 years of calling, without one shred of evidence, Trump a traitor and Russian asset.

Democrats are a threat to our nation. They actively aid and abet our enemies.

They recognized what Trump was from the get go. His character was public knowledge. He’s a con artist, a braggart, a liar, a cheat, and a thief. They knew this even before his campaign’s secret meetings with Putin operatives became public knowledge. Of that, the evidence is abundant. It’s in the Mueller Report. His campaign manager’s paid work for Putin’s Ukrainian puppet was established fact. The covert Russian social media operation to help get Trump elected is established fact.

At this point, after he attempted to overturn the election that ejected his sorry ass from the White House—an attempt that culminated in the violent siege of the Capitol by a mob of his supporters—it’s pretty damn clear who the enemies of the nation are.

This won’t be over until there’s been accountability. That’s not vindictiveness. It’s a defense of constitutional democracy.

They didn’t “recognize him” until he ran from President. Only then did he become a racist, Russian asset, con man and divider. In other words, it was all a complete fabrication of left wing propaganda because he was successful and they had nothing to match him. He was pro-America and Democrats are anti-America, divisive, hateful, racist and violent.

How do you like idiot Biden letting tens of thousands of COVID-infected illegal immigrants into the country, they scattering them all over the country with no tracing whatsoever? Trump had the border secured and that goddamned idiot Biden, allowing all his puppeteers to control his movements and speech, opened it wide open to crime, disease, drugs and terrorism.

THAT’S why Trump really won; the vast majority of Americans rejected that level of stupidity overwhemlingly. Only fraud changed the results.

Filling people’s heads with lies, false news, conspiracy theory, disinformation, and other assorted rubbish isn’t accidental, either. It’s INTENTIONAL. It’s a means of destroying the primacy of TRUTH, so it becomes easier to sell people LIES.

The picture at the top of this thread is a LIE. It’s anti-democracy propaganda, in support of measures that are actually intended to selectively suppress access to the ballot box.

Russian collusion was a lie. Racism was a lie. Quid pro quo was a lie. Insurrection was a lie. BLM/ANTIFA violence not existing was a lie. You are DRAWN to lies and, obviously, cannot recognize the truth.

President Trump won Arizona, Georgia, Pennsylvania, Michigan, Wisconsin and Nevada. Those states should recall their electors and decertify those results. President Trump won the 2020 election hands down.
