What if Trump won?

What if the shoe was on the other foot? What if Donald Trump won the 2020 election, and Joe Biden claimed it was stolen from him? What if Biden filed lawsuits seeking to hold recounts and ultimately overturn the election? What if Biden made phone calls to states and asked them to “find” more votes? What if he encouraged his supporters to stop the Vice President from certifying the results of the election? What if he couldn’t find any real evidence of voter fraud he claimed is so prevalent, but still repeats the Big Lie? In Wisconsin there are investigations underway into the election, including a $680,000 look led by a former conservative Supreme Court justice who has forcefully backed Trump and voiced claims the election was stolen. How would you feel if he was working on behalf of the other party, trying to get the results tipped his way? Independent clerks across the state have long since verified the results of the election. But if Trump won, would you cheer on attempts to hire openly partisan people to conduct an investigation to find the real truth? Or would you finally put your faith in the process? Would you see that the health of our democracy is at stake when you continue to challenge and doubt the fairness and integrity of our elections? Consider for a moment just how you would feel if the shoe was on the other foot.

    Scott, do you remember anything from 2016 to 2020? I believe the media reported that Trump stole the election with Russian help for 4 year and Hillary is still saying it! Plus can you really believe that Biden received more vote then any other elected president? If there is nothing to hide why not conduct the forensics audits requested?

    As long as Fox, OAN and other far right media control MAGA, they will never see the whole story. Fox has been preparing their base for years, slowly turning them away from MSM, and convincing them to only trust Conservative and approved media. The last 5-6 years this has been perfected. Fox has contracts for military and police, so they are prepped. We need basic truth and accountability back in journalism. The dark right is leading this country to Authoritarian rule. The Misinformation Highway IS the fuel behind the pandemic and vaccine confusion, voter fraud, racism, etc. Corporate America is running the show, followed by greed. Yes, far left is guilty of some too. First we must save democracy at all costs. We must liberate the misled, they are victims also. Bring accountability to journalism,. Get corporate out of all politics. If the dark right continue, we will lose democracy.

    I would think the same thing about Biden that I do about Trump for contesting the election; stupid.
    Much more importantly, Biden left Americans behind to virtually fend for themselves inn Afghanistan. IF this were trump, the outrage on the news shows would be deafening.
    As usual, press is biased

    Robert, If the shoe was on the other foot I would probably start crying just like you.

    Biden believes in the Constitution and wouldn’t do what TFG has done.
