Why Wouldn't They Cheat?
Townhall.com ^ | November 18, 2020 | Larry O'Connor

Why wouldn't Democrats use any possible means at their disposal to remove Donald Trump from the White House? It makes perfect, logical sense, doesn't it?

This column is not a listing of all the evidence supporting the Trump campaign's legal arguments that anonymous election officials worked behind closed doors to game their state's balloting systems so that mail-in votes would put their preferred candidate, Joe Biden, into the White House. Making that argument is not my job, and the Trump campaign has a whole host of attorneys putting together legal arguments to handle that task.

Instead, my intention is to respond to the incredulous, astounded, and sanctimonious voices in the legacy media, Democratic leadership, and, sadly, the ranks of go-along-to-get-along Republican figures who would call you crazy for believing that any kind of election fraud could be at play in this extraordinary and historic post-election day ballot verification and counting process we are witnessing right now.

For the past five years, President Donald Trump has been casually referred to as corrupt, racist, incompetent, mentally unstable, treasonous, and illegitimate by the dominant voices in those three influential groups cited above: Legacy media, Democratic leadership, and go-along-to-get-along Republicans. Add to that list the dominant voices in mainstream culture, social media, big tech, and professional sports.

The zeitgeist of 2020 has been framed within the context of Donald Trump as our generation's Adolph Hitler. It's so casually said in academia and in the green rooms of cable news networks that it's almost controversial to object to the obscene characterization.

As a candidate, Joe Biden and his party stood for one major issue: To get rid of Donald Trump. It's all his party stood for from the moment Trump won the election four years ago.

From Russian collusion to the 25th Amendment to the Ukrainian phone call and on and on, their main objective has been not to resist Trump's policies but to remove Trump altogether.

In the campaign, Biden casually referred to his opponent, the president of the United States, as a racist, as an authoritarian, as incompetent, and as being responsible for the murder of hundreds of thousands of Americans.

Are we to believe that this party and this candidate wouldn't stoop to the age-old practice of ballot-box stuffing to get rid of this guy?

Hitler was evil and threw the world into war, resulting in the deaths of millions of people and the attempted genocide of an entire race. If you could have assassinated Hitler in 1932, would it have been a sin or the purest act of saving the world? It's a common theological and philosophical dilemma many grapple with in dorms over their first glass of chardonnay.

I always answer this way: Killing Hitler before his acts of evil would be a sin because you don't have the knowledge of what he would do in the future, but going back in time and killing Hitler (with the full knowledge of the evil he perpetrated) would be fabulous and a worthy endeavor (I always wondered why Marty McFly didn't take that one detour and take care of the 20th century for all of us, but that's a dilemma for another column).

Killing Hitler in1932. How about taking custody of Bin Laden when offered on a silver platter? Would not have had to kill him.

There is no honor among thieves.

Biden had better watch his back too.
I know that Limbaugh was talking about this today, but I mentioned it weeks ago.

The willingness to cheat is inherent to the “resist” ethic.

“Biden had better watch his back too.”

Why? I think even retard Joe knows he’s just there for the party, then he’ll be swept off the stage.

The Ho will be in charge.

In the Democrat worldview, their morality is based on what they believe is right. There is no shame for cheating as long as it accomplishes what they believe is right. There are no moral absolutes (cheating or lying is always wrong). They are like the Communists in Whittaker Chambers book Witness.

Twitter and Facebook removes people posting about likely fraud in voting, yet newspaper columnists and politicians urging people to visit Georgia and register and no ban or call out by Twitter or Facebook.

The problem with all this clearly exposed cheating now, is that it calls into question every single political success in the past and also any that can be expected going forward.

Everything Liberals said or did in the past... and everything they say and do from now on is suspect. Their word isn’t worth a plug nickel.

For most of us here, it never was. When your ‘word’ is worthless, so are YOU

Its not that they would cheat its that they knew they had to cheat and were quite explicit in detailing how they would do it in the Transition Integrity Project documents.

They used the COVID scare to suppress in-person voting but it only significantly affected their Democrat voters. They knew that about 3% of absentee ballots are disqualified and their experience with the mail-in primary in New York and New Jersey indicated it could be as much as 20% which meant they had to count any mail-in ballot whether it was signed, sealed, or from a real live person or not. They also couldn’t let Republican poll watchers “meaningfully observe” their counting because they would catch them cheating.

The disqualification rate in GA was only 0.1% which is statistically a smoking gun that proves they cheated.

If it were a choice between killing Hitler, Stalin or Mao, Hitler would be a distant third on the list.

Especially if the alternative is jail.

It isn’t like there have ever been any significant consequences for election fraud.

Joe will have 5 minutes to pardon his son (and brother) for all their legal issues just before he resigns and allows Heels-Up her rightful place in the White House.

They’ve never been held accountable for a single thing they’ve ever done in their entire lives...never.
They know that no one will ever hold a “D” accountable for anything, so go for the gusto and cheat, lie, steal, murder, slander, whatever...to the max.

The democrats are postmodernists. This philosophy, perhaps better described as religion, tells them two things:

There’s no such thing as truth ( so you can lie).

There’s no objective right or wrong (so anything goes, just don’t get caught.)

But nothing of significance has happened to any of them who get caught.

Dems cheat in the primaries when they are running against each other. Of course they will cheat in the generals.
