How MAGA America Is Rigging This Election
I never cease to be amazed at how treacherous and hypocritical MAGA world can be.
After decades of “talking up” distorted caricatures of “liberals,” a term that used to be revered by both parties, MAGA Republicans continue to show us just how fanatically committed they are to being a reactionary and not a conservative party. Obsessed with sex-based issues, it seems they can’t see the other party as anything but evil. The hypocrisy, bindness and treachery is just breath-taking (I Tim 4:1-2).
This video editorial from “the failing New York Times” as the Gasbag-in-Chief always puts it, is self-explanatory. At this time of the 80th anniversary of D-Day, when so many “suckers and losers” gave their lives to save democracy and thus our freedoms, they must be turning over in their graves at the thought of the backstab these faux patriots are deploying.
I’m just posting this video as it is, along with notes below it from the Times they include on YouTube:
Sep 21, 2022
For the past two years, Americans have been overwhelmed by a deluge of headlines suggesting democracy in the United States is under threat: Voter suppression. A shortage of drop boxes. Election deniers seeking key state offices. It can be difficult to gauge what stories suggest a truly terrifying threat to democracy, and which are simply disheartening or even petty. The Opinion Video film above aims to unpack one of the most dire threats to democracy, which includes a sophisticated plot to control not only who can vote, but which votes get counted.
One thing is certain: The 2020 race was not stolen. But Mr. Trump and his Republican enablers have been working to rig future elections to their advantage. (Of course it’s the people shrieking most loudly about fraud that you really need to watch.) The former president has convinced his followers that the electoral system has been so corrupted that the only way to save America is for MAGA patriots to take over the system to ensure that the “right” candidates win going forward. His allies have been busy engineering such a legal takeover, and key pieces of the plan are already in place.
In this short film, we shine a light on those machinations, so that those who care about democracy can act to stop them.
For our Democracy to survive, we need to agree on a shared reality and for the losers — that is those who lose in honest and fair elections — to accept defeat.
