Denying the outcome of elections has become alarmingly popular these days.
In one corner, Democrats are claiming that gerrymandering has made our elections illegitimate, that the Senate is anti-Democratic and so is the Supreme Court. The White House Press Secretary has claimed that Trump stole the 2016 election from Hillary Clinton.
In the other corner, a majority or close to a majority of Republicans (depending on what polls you look at) believe that Trump was cheated out of a fair election in 2020. Here’s how the Texas GOP put it last month: “We hold that acting President Joseph R. Biden Jr. was not legitimately elected by the people of the United States.”
Today, a roundtable about how worried we should be about the state—and future—of American democracy. With guests: Jonah Goldberg (founder of The Dispatch and author of Suicide of the West); Jeremy Peters (New York Times reporter and author of Insurgency) and Kristen Soltis Anderson (pollster and author of The Selfie Vote).
Even without listening to this crap, just based on the few comments it drew, I can assure you that it's going to help Trump pick up thousands of new supporters.
Lori, _you're_ not the one who's confused. Good for you.
The supporters of Sanctuary Jurisdictions, breaking Federal Law, are concerned the Texas GOP may take some unknown action contrary to the Federal Executive? As I recall, California considered secession (I offered to assist, BTW). It is all theater.
