When any media report on the "Stop the Steal" rally these days,

wouldn’t it be more accurate for them to label it the “Stop the Nonexistent Steal” rally (or something to that effect)?

By continuing to call it silmply “Stop the Steal” it seems to me to amplify the Big Lie . . .

They're likely just quoting the name given it by the Trumpers, but I think the OP has a point.

No government of the pukes by the pukes for the pukes. I like of, for, and by for the people.
