Might have known election wasn't going to change Trump
By Sid Schwab / Herald columnist
Some consider my “tinyurl” links annoying, and hardly anyone checks them. Just this once, though, before discussing Trump’s and Republicans’ claims about a fraudulent election, it’d be helpful if readers were to see this: tinyurl.com/sore2lose.
Also helpful is Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., on the subject: “If Republicans don’t challenge and change the U.S. election system, there will never be another Republican president elected again.”
OK, thanks. Now we understand. Because it always has been, this is about minority Republicans maintaining power. And because it never has been, it’s not about what’s best for the country. Not even in this extraordinary time, when there’s so much more at stake; namely, our physical, economic and social health; and the livability of this overheating planet. Foxians accuse Democrats of hypocrisy in urging Republicans to give Biden a chance, when they didn’t for Trump. Well, there’s a difference.
From the moment he entered politics, Trump trafficked in division and untruth. He encouraged violence at his rallies, called his opponents — Democrat and Republican alike — stupid and mean-spirited names. After election, his first act was to lie about crowd size and to claim he’d lost the popular vote because of 3 million illegal ones. Later, he refused constitutionally required congressional oversight, and fired inspectors general and U.S. attorneys who were pursuing his political and personal malfeasance. His reelection campaign sank even lower, as his rallies, lacking anything positive, manifested only anger, grievance and mendacity.
