Has the Big Lie run out of gas?

Rachel was discussing on her show the reception that Mo Brooks received when he told the audience at Trump's rally in Alabama that they needed to look forward, to 2022 and 2024, and not backward to the election of 2020. He was met with a resounding disapproval. "Fix it now!", the audience screamed.

It appears that it has become "put up or shut up" time for the propagators of the Big Lie. They want to see the evidence from the Arizona audit. They want to see the proof that Trump won the election and they want to see Trump back in the White House. Now, not 2022 or 2024.

For a fleeting moment it looked like the Big Liars had created a monster that turned on them. (After all the mileage that Herr Trump got out of persuading people not to get the vaccine, for some odd reason, he thought he could persuade them to now get the shot? They booed him and he backtracked immediately, to tell them that they had their "freedoms".)

It will be interesting to see what the next rally brings?

It now feeds on itself..they come for the hate and when it’s not served up, they respond in kind

Dr. Frankenstein created a monster, that is now loose and out of control

Were pretty excited yesterday, and I couldn't figure out why until it hit me - the audit was supposed to give its final report today (how'd THAT work out), and that was supposed to somehow reinstate Trump automatically.
