Given Donald Trumpās hostility toward democracy, itās worth pausing when he asks supporters, "Why are we having an election?ā
By all appearances, Donald TrumpĀ really doesnāt like itĀ when Democrats describe him asĀ a threat to democracy, and yet, the Republican keeps saying things that reflect a degree of animosity toward the American system of government.
Take the former presidentās rally in Pennsylvania on Saturday, for example. The New York TimesĀ reported:
Trump said polls suggested he was at ā93 percentā although it was not clear what that number was referring to. The former president said he responded by saying: āSo why are we having an election? They didnāt have an election. Why are we having an election?ā
Theyāre intentionally saying this to cast doubt and challenge the election results, no matter how badly they lose.
If we canāt get some of them to turn their conspiracy theory around and establish faith in our fair election process, then weāre going to be dealing with this forever and ever.
Bush v. Gore was the end of democracy for us it turns out. That set a precedent weāre not able to recover from today.
No less than three of Bushās lawyers are on SCOTUS now, BTW.
Their reward for being good puppets of the heritage foundation :(
Yep. They are preparing the ground for another putsch. Trumpās not legally eligible to hold the office, so maybe he has a pointā¦
