How ridiculous that a major political party is wreaking damage to the sanctity of the institution of voting—the principal defining feature distinguishing our form of government from those of tinpot dictators and totalitarian regimes the world over—in order to . . .What, exactly? Protect the feelings of our pathetic little pile of hurt feelings disguised as a “leader?” How absurd! How monumentally misguided!
The news media’s coverage of the largely manufactured drama surrounding charges of a stolen election and the Republicans’ messaging purportedly designed to give the president “time to process his defeat” should instead be focused on the national security risks inherent in such actions, as well as the messaging it sends to leaders of other countries concerning what a dysfunctional excuse of a government we have acquiesced to, and how, in the midst of an unchecked pandemic, one branch of our government is considering the removal of health insurance coverage for millions of its citizens.
At a time like this, to waste even one iota of precious time coddling a crippled conscience-free con man is unconscionable.
To be frank, who cares about trump’s feelings! It’s no longer about him! It never was! What’s important now is the damage all this BS about stolen votes, the president’s bruised ego, ad nauseum, is doing to the publics’ faith in the electoral process and our governmental institutions.
