Yesterday, Trump made an insanely stupid comment about the 2020 election. I was going to write about refuting it, but then figured – why??
We know at this point that Trump is a pathological liar, and a fascist, and divisive, and a con man and probably nuts, and will pull anything out of whatever open orifice he can most-easily reach in his body. So – why try to refute anything? He’ll just make up some other insane lie the next time anyone cares to listen. So, you can end up playing whack-a-mole the rest of your life as he tries to divide the country and tries to convince himself that he won the 2020 election, all the while opening the Fascist Handbook to the chapter on trying to make the country lose faith in fair elections, facts, reality and democracy. Instead, you can participate in this by instead just making up the most idiotic lie you can think of and substitute that for what Trump said. And then dismiss it for all the rational reasons you want. Whatever you come with probably won’t be as crazy as what Trump said, but in fairness he’s a professional at this and not only has decades of experience lying without impunity, but has never shown any personal or moral qualms about it. So, you’re likely hindered by having a conscience – and a sense of reality. But even without being in office, I still get to trot out the old chestnut – this isn’t about Trump, we know who he is. This is about the Republican Party, which enables him, has turned total fascist and won’t refute a single insane thing he says, but instead pay fealty to him.
