Trump’s Big Lie | Republican Complicity

Without facts or evidence Trump, Republicans and the right wing media continue their non-stop assault on the foundations of democracy by perpetrating the biggest fraud in history upon the United States and all Americans. The Big Lie about a laundry list of “illegal voting” crimes and “massive voter fraud” in swing states like Pennsylvania; allegedly committed by poll workers, state and local election officials, and voting organizations, is absolutely ridiculous and nothing but fiction. So much so that when Trump’s attorneys appeared in Pennsylvania courts (and courts in other swing states), they were advised that unless they had evidence of “massive voter fraud” to stop wasting the courts’ time.

Yet the Big Lie about Election 2020’s conspiracy to cheat Trump out of a second term continues to be promoted by Trump, his allies and the Republican party.

“A majority of Republican nominees on the ballot this November for the House, Senate and key statewide offices — 291 in all — have denied or questioned the outcome of the last presidential election, according to a Washington Post analysis.” — Amy Gardner, Washington Post 10/12/2022

As they have for over six years now, Republicans ignore their obligations to constituents and abandon their sworn oaths to the United States and the US Constitution. A pledge of allegiance to a self-serving corrupt, con-man is now a requirement in the GOP (Greed Over People) along with pandering to a delusional minority, Trump’s MAGA cult. While privately admitting they know it’s all bullshit, Republicans from party leaders to candidates in the 2022 mid-term elections continue to promote, or refuse to publicly condemn, the Big Lie. Many in fact embrace it as part of the strategy to obtain and remain in power at all costs.

Republicans turned their backs on the United States and all Americans when Trump was elected in 2016. Through their words and actions, they displayed nothing but contempt for our democratic republic. As Trump’s abuse of power and illegal conduct came to light, Republicans chose not to uphold the checks and balances of the Legislative branch. Instead, they recited Trump’s persecution script and went along with whatever he claimed. Always the victim of a witch hunt, the deep state, main-stream media, the Clintons, Obama, evil Democrats in Congress, the left and liberals, the FBI, and anyone and anything else he decided to blame.

Right-wing American Oligarchs through alliances with “conservative” organizations and media, Evangelical Christians, Conservative Catholics, Orthodox Jews, and the Republican party perpetuate the divisive lies and deceit — echoed 24/7 by Rupert Murdoch’s Professional Liars-For-Profit on Fox-Fake-News. Republicans have received record amounts of money from their donors/owners to sustain their fabricated culture wars and legislative obstruction. They will not stop until the destruction turns the United States into a corporate, fascist, fake democracy ruled by elitist, white, ‘Christian’ men.

Vote like your life depends on it because, guess what? It actually does!
