The under laying message of the "big lie" that there was massive election fraud and trump won...

the election, was all about vote suppression and the votes the republicans wanted thrown out are in majority African American counties and districts in places like Detroit, Philadelphia, Atlanta, Milwaukee—get the picture?

It was all about white supremacy and not allowing Black peoples' votes to stand, an unspoken but clear call for megats to re-assert their dominance in the face of changing and browning demographics.

trump ascended to power claiming the first black president was not legitimate. He wasn't rebuffed. He was allowed to continue, spout this racist ridiculous nonsense on mainstream media. Not just Fox. Republicans were complicit in fighting against the nation's first black president. Not because of his policies, that was their ruse. Because they were threatened by a black man having so much power. Fast forward to 2020 when black people rose up and helped boot trump out of office, again its not legitimate.

the first black president, but ironically, supporters of the first black president's votes ended his disastrous, twice impeached, one-term presidency.

Too bad, so sad. Funny how that works.
