Vance knows Trump lost the 2020 election Mike Johnson knows Trump lost the 2020 election Donald Trump knows he lost the 2020 election They don’t refuse to admit it because they believe it’s true. They do it because fascists always try to create a world where there is no truth

So that people say “Well, Democrats and pundits say the election wasn’t stolen. But Republicans say that it was. I guess we can never truly know for sure one way or the other.” Except THAT’S BULLSHIT. The 2020 election was NOT STOLEN. Trump LOST. And TRUTH MATTERS in a DEMOCRACY

One of the things that Jack Smith revealed in his most recent 165-page filing exposing the lengths that Trump went to to cling to power after losing in 2020 was that Trump said to family members: “It doesn’t matter if you win or lose an election. What matters is that you fight.”

Here’s the problem with that: IT’S. FUCKING. BULLSHIT. IT. FUCKING. MATTERS. IF. YOU. WON. OR. LOST. AND. IF. YOU. LOST—WHICH. TRUMP. DID—YOU. HAVE. NO. REASON. TO. FIGHT. OR. LIE. OR. REFUSE. TO. CONCEDE IF. YOU. CAN’T. ADMIT. DEFEAT. AFTER. SOUNDLY. LOSING. YOU. ARE. UNFIT.

They want people to question election results because they know they are going to lose (again) Because they plan to dispute the results when they lose (again) Because they plan to incite violence and sue when they lose (again)

Because they need to sow chaos and confusion and make everyone believe that there is no such thing as objective truth and therefore there is no such thing as a legitimate victory for Democrats. Because they need it to be close enough to toss to Congress or the courts/SCOTUS

It’s up to US to make sure that it’s NOT. To show up in numbers too large to dispute. To deny Trump a win in any conceivable hypothetical scenario in which one swing state refuses to certify. To repudiate Trump’s neofascist stranglehold over the @GOP FOREVER [and we’re going to].
