A question from Mr and Mrs Peacetrain??

We are sitting here.. wondering.. why all these people who supported Trump and said they had proof the election was stolen, have not come forward with it?? Do they have monks in a monastery scribbling it out with parchment and quills???


The Republicans have investigated elections to the point of questioning the make up of the paper.. Looking for bamboo???


I mean seriously media types why are we not just inundated with this proof.. or having it pointed how day after day that these individuals made this crap up with names and pictures plastered all over the TV??..


Hold them accountable!!..

Extraordinary evidence.

We’re supposed to take their worthless word for it.

Authoritarian thinking. Also, meshes quite nicely with religious indoctrination.

Besides the maths and sciency stuff are boring and generally conflict with their high opinions of their uniqueness and infallibility.

Looking too closely might reveal they’re like everyone else. Only separated by being a lucky sperm.

To top it off is intellectual laziness on a profound scale.

They are not real big on logic and facts. They don’t really believe in elections either

they have a primitive remnant of conscience that makes them feel ashamed of themselves. In other words, most of them are not TOP SHELF LIARS like the Orange King of Fabrication.

But as I wrote, it's a theory, and not yet a working one at that.

and Democrats eating babies. They are not normal and require no proof of their beliefs. The people pushing the silly stories know this and have never been pressed to provide a scintilla of proof. The stories just continue on their own. Even with a MSM that was competent (or cared) the followers will just watch Faux or Alex Jones or whatever. They are lost. Criminal convictions and prison time for the broken laws is really our only hope at this point. The brazen purveyors of this crap need to be put away.

justice. When justice is seen only as being for the "little people" fascism is not far behind.

long time ago. Power and wealth were not Jesus' thing. Nor were idolizing adulterers, stealing, lying, cheating, bullying, laughing at the poor and disabled, etc. etc. etc.
