Recently, I appeared as a guest on Andrew Sullivan’s podcast. Sullivan is vociferously anti-Trump, so I expected us to disagree—which, naturally, we did. But I was surprised by the extent to which he insisted I assent to his assertion that the 2020 election was totally on the level. That is to say, I wasn’t surprised that Sullivan thinks it was; I was surprised by his evident yearning to hear me say so, too.
Which I could not do.
Sullivan badgered me on this at length before finally accusing me of being fixated on the topic, to which I responded, truthfully, that I was only talking about it because he asked.

A fair but scary summary of where we find ourselves today.

The left's insistence that I believe that a senile old man who barely campaigned and was rejected by his party twice before got more votes than Barack Obama makes me more skeptical of the election outcome every day.

Many will remember that Anton, using a nom de plume, wrote the “Flight 93 Election” article that ushered in the Trump era...

During the first impeachment trial Alan Dershowitz would invoke what he called the "other shoe" test of an argument. If the vote totals on election night had shown Joe Biden with a sizeable lead that suddenly evaporated after truckloads of unverified mail-in ballots appeared at the counting centers would Biden's team have advised him to just concede and keep his mouth shut? If black Democrat poll watchers had been blocked from viewing the ballot signatures by Bull Connor types in the Southern states would the media have attacked them for jeopardizing the integrity of a fair election process? If they'd taken their suit to court and George Wallace had stood in the door of the courthouse and not allowed any judge to rule on the merits of their evidence would they have just packed up and "moved on"?
The rest of the country must understand that this is a wound that will never heal. The reason the winners need to get the losers to concede is because that wipes away their own doubt in the illegitimacy of their victory. If it takes 100 years the truth of this national crime must be preserved in history.

Their hold on power must be very tenuous. If they really had the power to do as they pleased, would they care what we thought?

Sorry Andrew but the election was stolen, and good luck with convincing decent and intelligent people who have seen all the video and other evidence otherwise. He has always been a prissy little ring kisser to the PTB, but this is over the edge ignorant on his part.

It's very strange but very obvious that all the left are not comfortable with their so called victory that daily they want us and President Trump to concede and acknowledge their victory but we won't.

Thanks for not giving in because if you do they they badger the rest of us to agree with YOU as though the agreement of e.g. senior Republican senators were as authoritative as Einstein on physics, and disagreeing w their fabulous selves made the rest of us even stupider. Do Not give in please.

When THEY know that they cheated, and YOU know that they cheated, they really need you to tell them that they didn't cheat, it makes them feel like they fooled you.
No, we say, "You stole that election, and you know it and I know it, and nothing will change that or make me say otherwise."

Because there must be total agreement that the election was fair and that there was no fraud. Otherwise the Capitol would continue to be surrounded by barbed wire and the Brownshirts occupy the Capitol.
Otherwise there will be an armed uprising and the Marxist government will be overthrown.
We are talking a real and present danger to the Deep State here.
Such a threat calls for the most extreme measures. It will be necessary to imprison and deprogram all who believe there was fraud in the election.
The machines themselves cannot be examined. The ballots cannot be recounted. Nothing can be done. Control flows from the barrel of a gun, and the Marxists have the guns.
Don't worry. They will soon take them away from the rest of us.
They have already closed our churches. They have already taken away our free speech. They own the MSM. Your only position, from now on, is on your knees, before the God of BLM.
Otherwise you will be shot.

You beat me to it, #11. The article is a comprehensive summary of why I also think the election was stolen! Maybe if the Republicans can win back both Houses of Congress in 2022, we can impeach Biden and Harris (or maybe Harris and Pelosi by that time) and reclaim the Executive. ‘Tis a consummation devoutly to be wished.

It's the same as wanting US to cosign to marriage between two men or two women, men can change their sex to women and vice versa. They need US to consent because deep down they know they're living a lie. This kind of insistence leads one straight to hell. They refuse to believe the truth, so God turns them over so that they can only believe the lie, even when they know it's a lie.

Like Herr Goebbels use to say, the more you repeat a lie, the more truthful it becomes. The left knows that they lied, cheated and stole the last election. By forcing people to agree they think that it turns into the truth. Repeating a lie does not make it the truth.
