Let's take our forks and dig down through the MAGA word-salad and get to the bottom

of all their dissatisfaction with Trump's certified "not even close" loss of the November election.

Let's pull aside all of the totally unsupported MERE ALLEGATIONS.

Let's toss out all of the debunked and silly bumper sticker slogans.

Let's burrow beneath the simplistic and transparently ridiculous "legal" verbiage in over 60 judicially rejected "election fraud actions".

At long last, there it is at the bottom of all this: a shrivelled kernel of "Trump said it was rigged!"

Can we now toss all this onto the compost heap of history?

them the kind of polite but honest feedback to their increasing radicalization that they should always have been receiving.

Fear of losing the good opinion of others is often the strongest motivation many of us have for not doing wrong. Unfortunately, not expressing disagreement and possibly inciting more aggressive behaviors has long been seen as the proper response to this among mannered people. The Crawleys and their sort aren't the only ones who change the subject to gardens.

And here we are.

Does that tell us anything? He KNEW it was rigged in 2016 when he won.

Every Apprentice show was rigged, also every Miss Universe Pageant that he was involved with, was rigged. His college SATs were rigged. He doesn't know how to do anything that ISN'T rigged.
