"Using the mantra that the election was stolen from him, millions of Trump's wide-eyed followers believe it and have contributed millions of dollars to Trump's coffers."
The Russian dictator, Vladimir Putin, wanted Donald Trump to be our President. In July 2018 Trump rejected American intelligence, and, instead, accepted the statements of the Russian dictator.
For nine months Trump has been attacking America's free elections, claiming the 2020 election was pervaded in fraud.
The sad part, many leading Republicans in our government plus millions of Americans are aiding Trump in his effort to sabotage our elections. Republicans seeking office want Trump's endorsement because without it, it's over for them.
Republicans who support the lie have absolutely no basis for their belief. All Trump and his gullible followers can do is repeat the Big Lie over and over again. 60 court cases, the Supreme Court, countless state audits (three in Georgia alone) have examined the election and found no significant fraud.
The fifty states manage America's elections. The idea of election fraud so large in scope as to change the results of the Presidential election is preposterous.
CNN reports, "Ex-President Donald Trump's
big lie came full circle on Saturday as he traveled
to Arizona to dangerously seize on the false fruits of a sham election "audit" precipitated by his own discredited claims the 2020 election was stolen.
"On a late afternoon of delusion and incitement, Trump offered a preview of how he could exploit grievances of millions of supporters who buy his lies about voter fraud to power
a possible new presidential run in the future.
"The now self-sustaining myth that Trump was improperly ejected from power is at the center of a belief system that the ex-President is imposing on his party and is making a litmus test for 2022 GOP candidates seeking his endorsement, including in the Arizona Senate race, which is one of the GOP's top targets as they try to take back the Senate."
"There is no way they win elections without cheating," Trump said of Democrats.
But, then, Trump thought that the crowd that ransacked our capitol on Jan 6 was a "loving crowd."
