Discussion on the Big Lie
Reader A: (Given how Biden stole the presidency) How on Earth can we ever trust the election process again?Reader B: We have to fix it. WE. You and I and others. We the people for whom this country was created. We let it happen and now we have to fix it.
Me: I can see that you are both earnest in your beliefs that the election was stolen, an idea known to the world in general as the “Big Lie.”
But what you’re talking about here, i.e., “fixing it,” is going to be quite an undertaking, won’t it? Keep in mind that more than 60 units of the judiciary branch, including the U.S. Supreme Court, have reviewed the claims of voter fraud and have found nothing of any significance.
In the legislative branch, Republicans (not Democrats) are under an extremely broad and aggressive investigation for inciting the insurrection–one that’s gaining steam with the revelations of each passing day.
On top of that, the Department of Justice within the executive branch has brought charges against the first (of many to come) who are in contempt of Congress.
All this is happening at the federal level. Don’t forget about the State of Georgia and the Southern District of New York.
The sad part of all this is that, although you have been duped by the most successful conman in human history, you will be hard-pressed to admit it, now or ever, regardless of what further evidence emerges and how Team Trump is handled by the justice system.
That’s not a happy place to be, and I feel genuinely sorry for you both.
Yes, indeed, I also feel sorry for them. Thank you for writing this so eloquently and succinctly.
