31. Republicans haven't won a legitimate Presidential Election since 1956. Cheating is in their blood.

In 1968 Dick Nixon illegally interfered with a peace deal with Vietnam that LBJ got done right
after he dropped out. He had Kissinger go to the North Vietnamese and a woman called Anna
Chennault go to the South Vietnamese and told them to not sign any peace but to wait until
after he got elected and they would get a better deal. Nixon signed off on the exact same deal
in January of ‘73 but the war went on for another 4 1/2 years killing @ least 7 million more
people.

1988 w/ HW was dirty too.

Overall the policies and programs of the Democratic Party are more in line with the needs and
thoughts of the American People so they have to cheat and pack the courts to maintain power
and in that effort billions of dollars have been spent, Although, I have come to believe that between
25 to 35% of Americans are so racist, sexist, anti intellectual, and Christo Fascist that the Republicans
will always have a base and in some areas of the country they are the majority.

Trump is a useful tool to the super rich, the fossil fuel industries, the tech bros, the crypto crowd,
and the Christian Evangelicals.
