Election Denialism Is A Form Of Corruption. And This Applies To Most Republican Candidates In The 2022 Mid-Terms.

[RIP U.S. Democracy]

Very astute comment about the current Republican Party by this New York University historian. --

“Election denialism is a form of corruption,” said Ruth Ben-Ghiat, the author of “Strongmen: Mussolini to the Present” and a historian at New York University. “The party has now institutionalized this form of lying, this form of rejection of results. So it’s institutionalized illegal activity. These politicians are essentially conspiring to make party dogma the idea that it’s possible to reject certified results.”

It won't be "politics as usual" if the Republicans gain control of one or both chambers of Congress next month. It represents a fundamental threat to the future of democracy in this country.

“It’s quite possible in 2022 we’re going to have a serious set of challenges before the new Congress is seated, and then this will escalate as we move toward 2024 and another presidential election, in which the candidates, again, almost required by the Trumpians, will be challenging election outcomes,” said Larry Jacobs, a politics professor at the University of Minnesota whose areas of study include legislative politics.

In the longer term, Jacobs said, the country’s democratic foundations are at risk.

“It is a disease that is spreading through our political process, and its implications are very profound,” Jacobs said. “This is no longer about Donald Trump. This is about the entire electoral system and what constitutes legitimate elections. All of that is now up in the air.”

“Election denialism is a form of corruption,” you say?

Let me know when a democratic candidate promises to not certify an election in their state if they don’t like the outcome.

What a bunch of liberal bunk, totally ignorant comment promoting socialism and being a progressive that denies personal responsibility and the policies that made this country great. this is the dumbing down of American and revisionist history. The illegal activity that the left wants to ignore is taking money from the taxpayers and spending it the way the gov't sees fit ignoring the real purpose of our democracy, neighbor helping neighbor. No liberal can point to Conservative denial as the true denial is the liberal view as to the role of the federal gov't

that and denialism, ignorism and possibly dementia.

Election denialism is just an offering to the alter of CheetoVonTweeto.

The real issue the voter faces is direction of the nation under the duopolistic modern Democratic and Republican Parties, and I contend neither Biden (and "Woke" Progressive Democrats) nor Trump (and White Nationalist Republicans) have any interest in the betterment of the nation.

Why don't you tell us your vision for the US gov't and what policies Conservatives promote that violate that vision?

“Election denialism is a form of corruption,” you say?

Maybe you should acquire some reading comprehension skills.

Democrats did not challenge the 2016 election results in court, like Trump did over 60 times after the 2020 election. Democrats are not instituting election denialism as their party dogma, like the Republicans are now doing.

Oh yeah...and Democrats did not have a violent insurrection to attempt overturn the 2020 election, like your traitorous Trumpster Party did on Jan 6.

Don't attempt to muddy the waters with your pathetic false equivalency.

Just wrong. You dismiss the threat to our democracy at your own peril.

You might want to go back and listed to some of the post-2000 election hysteria or the attempts to get electors to change their votes in 2017.

For some reason 2000 or so nuts attacking the Capitol represents the entire Conservative or GOP party and that is nothing more than a diversion from reality to divert from the failure of your ideology. Here we are almost 2 years later and no focus on the present only focus on the past. Nothing to see here on our border problem, inflation, recession, Biden corruption, Harris incompetence but let's focus on 2000 or so idiots who were stupid enough to protest the election results violently

“Election denialism is a form of corruption,” you say?

That's correct. It is. Do you agree? Yes or no will do.

What the hell does this have to do with socialism??

Oh that's right....NOTHING.

I stopped reading after that. Just typical Repug Trumpster horse shit.

 

[Conservative]

Just wrong. You dismiss the threat to our democracy at your own peril.

So you think our democracy is so fragile that 2000 or so nuts can threaten it? Nothing more than progressive diversion from reality. Do you people get paid to keep Trump and January 6 in the headlines so as to not have to address the current economic and social failures in this country?

You said “election denialism.” Was that video not full of senior-level Democrats denying election results?

Recommend you keep the goalposts where you first placed them.

Why don't you tell us what your Lord Trump did that bought your loyalty, other than election denialism... we already know you subscribe to that conspiracy theory.

Because your party candidates are STILL denying the 2020 election results. And 147 Republicans in Congress voted to overturn Biden's victory on Jan 6, AFTER the violent insurrection.

There's your "reason".

 

[OrphanSlug]

No, I dismiss that Democrats are really interested people outside of what the far left arm of the party wants.

Everything, Liberals like you divert from reality to promote the liberal agenda while ignoring the liberal results. Keeping January 6 in the headlines diverts from the reality of what your party has become, a big gov't nanny state, socialist utopia that doesn't exist anywhere else in the world. You going to explain why 2000 or so idiots are relevant today in a country of over 330,000,000

I did. Again, you can't read. -- Republicans have made election denialism party of their party dogma.

 

[NatMorton]

Yes, when people lie to advance a political agenda it is a form of corruption.

There's your "reason".

So what? what policies are they promoting that warrant your focus on January 6? There is no question that the election was stolen as over 67 million mail in ballots many of which were no excuse ballots violated the chain of custody. your party weaponized Covid, created an election where you cannot prove voter fraud and elected an incompetent in the WH that we are all now paying for. January 6 is long gone but still keeping it in the headlines diverts from the real issues facing this country today, Biden/Harris incompetence

You still don't understand everything else that happened regarding Jan 6, that's why talking to you is pointless.

You Trumpsters won't even touch Trump's fake elector scheme with a 10 foot pole. You have no interest in all of the different layers of Trump's coup attempt.

 

[Galactic Spin]

Yes, when people lie to advance a political agenda it is a form of corruption.

And do you feel there are degrees to that? Like, lying about our democracy is worse than, say, lying about a past abortion, for example.

I do. I think widespread lying about our foundational democracy is worse.
