"Stop the steal!"

Republicans are right that you can't trust U.S. elections. And if it wasn't for massive election fraud by Republicans, the world could have been so much better off today. They stole every one of their corrupt elections since Eisenhower, arguably the last decent conservative. Tit for tat, Democrats should demand audits in every swing state they "lost" going back five decades!

Putting the shoe on the other foot as a thought experiment, consider: Hubert Humphry beat Richard Nixon in 1968; George McGovern beat Richard Nixon in 1972; Jimmy Carter beat Ronald Reagan in 1980; Walter Mondale beat Ronald Reagan in 1984; Michael Dukakis beat George H. W. Bush in 1988; Al Gore beat George W. Bush in 2000; John Kerry beat George W. Bush in 2004; Hillary Clinton beat Donald Trump in 2016.

Shouldn't publically professing those humiliating losses as "landslide wins" be a litmus test for any Democrat running nowadays, just as Republican candidates are expected to swear fealty to Trump the Liar? Isn't it obvious that the only way Democrats could lose is if Republicans lie, cheat, and steal?

That is, obvious in the same way that Trump "won" -- when winger logic doesn't depend on any evidence whatsoever. In the numerous cases when Democrats supposedly lost, however, there IS evidence aplenty they were targets of Republican false narratives and voter suppression.

So how much do the "Cyber Nimrods" charge for a "fraudit" anyway? Wink wink, nudge nudge.

I can still remember listening to Ronald Reagan, then president, proclaim over the airwaves that "If you are not already (list of psychopathic symptoms), then you'd better start. That is the future of this country." I have since then referred to the GOP as the party of psychopaths - the entire party. It is so incredibly reaffirming to have someone with the voice that Thom has proclaim it as well. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.
