How many Americans realize the seriousness of the fraud involved in forging electoral college documents naming fraudulent electors?
The conservative propaganda media, like Fox News, Newsmax, Breitbart and USA Radio, aren't saying much about it and keeping those inside their bubble in the dark. I'm not sure how much of a reaction it would get from their audience anyway, since it's not the progressives or liberals who were caught doing this. Though they rage against the influence of "relativism" in our society, they believe in it just as much, refusing to hold their own side accountable to anything. And it's gotten worse since Trump came on the scene.
I'm outraged. Actually, it goes way beyond that into feelings that words cannot describe. This was a direct enemy attack against the people of the United States, against every American who believes in what this country stands for. It was an assault on every person who died in defense of this country, and against every single person who ever fought for it or sacrificed for it. It was an assault on the Constitution, on the nation's founders, on our liberty and on everything that makes America great.
Anyone who was involved with that whole plan, and it doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out who that was, whether it was actually his plan, or whether it came from someone in his entourage with his blessing, should be brought to justice. And I define justice, in this case, as the complete loss of the privilege of being a citizen of the United States of America. They should have their citizenship removed and then be arrested for being here illegally.
The Republican party has staunchly defended the Electoral College as its relevance has been called into question in recent years. So for Republicans, some of them state legislators or members of Congress, to make a mockery of it like this and attempt to defraud the process of counting ballots is a form of extreme hypocrisy. And there's no question that every person signing those forgeries knew exactly what they were doing. It's fraud, it is a crime. This is what the GOP under Trump's influence has become.
The threshold in most state legislatures, as it is in Congress, for policing its own with regard to actions which indicate a violation of their oath to defend the Constitution, at a two-thirds vote, is too high when one party has transferred its loyalty to a person, away from the nation and the Constitution, and is more interested in defending its own power than it is in defending the country. This needs to be a straight up decision, based on the law and on the evidence. Signing a forged document with the intention of subverting the will of the people is as anti-American as you can get without actually declaring war against the United States. And when the evidence is uncovered that connects this plan to the former President, he should suffer the same consequence.
The fact that there is not more of an outrcy and a demonstration of outrage at what these documents represent is evidence that our people don't understand exactly what it means to be an American, and what government "of, by and for the people" means. The fact that police are not having to protect the perpetrators and participants in this heinous and despicable crime from the anger and outrage of the people says a lot about what most people understand about the rights and freedom that we have and how it is that we have it. Protesters should be swamping the state houses of each of the states where these forgeries were found, demanding justice.
This was a crime committed against you. And me. We the people. May justice be quick in coming.
