106 House Republicans And 18 Republican Attorneys General And 1 President Are Urging The Supreme Court To Overturn The Election Because The Dear Leader Lost…
They’ve all now signed on to support Texas’ try to get all the votes in Pennsylvania, Georgia, Michigan, and Wisconsin thrown out.
No one is charging fraud. No one. I mean, the President is, out loud, but even he isn’t in this case. Instead, Trump’s sycophants — who now include more than 1/2 the Republicans in the House of Representatives — are asserting if Trump is not allowed to win, it puts in peril the bedrock concept of this country, based as it is on the “consent of the governed”. Huh? Trump lost. The “governed” elected Joe Biden by a margin of 7,059,782 more votes.
So in order to believe their argument, you pretty much also have to believe that voting for a Democrat is not a legitimate thing for a U.S. citizen to do, and areas of a state with lots of Democrats (or more generally, non-White people), should certainly not be allowed to count. Because in what other context does trying to conjure up an alternate reality Trump win make any sense? Because 81,281,890 people have given their consent to President-elect Joe Biden, which is more than the 74,222,108 Trump got.
