If you have been paying attention for the last year (yes it has been a year), you have heard some crazed right-winger screaming about how the election was stolen and how Donald Trump actually won the election, and that the only reason Joe Biden was said to have won the election was because of massive voter fraud.
These outlandish claims of massive voter fraud, in the past, would have lived only in the dark corners of the internet, and would have been put to bed by the news media as ridiculous, and the nation would move on. However, these dangerous claims of dead-people voting in the millions and voting machines rigged to change votes, have been amplified by an irresponsibly dangerous right-wing media (OANN, FOX News and other so-called conservative outlets) to promote this propaganda first introduced into the ethos by a sociopath named Trump who really doesn't care about the nation, but only his own twisted ego.
This propaganda even led thousands of people to storm the Capitol building on January 6, 2021 to try and overthrow the government.
Here is the hard truth that most of the people watching FOX News, OANN, and Newsmax never hear, the limited amount of voter fraud that did occur in the 2020 election seemed to be perpetrated by Republicans in an attempt to get Trump re-elected, and not the other way around. Here is just a couple of examples.
One of the Trumpiest of Trumpists, Texas Lt. Governor Dan Patrick, said he would pay a bounty of up to a million dollars for people who found evidence of voter fraud, and despite the right claiming there were millions of examples of this, his campaign has only issued one check thus far at it was for an example of a Republican who tried to vote twice for Trump in Pennsylvania.
Now it might be easy to laugh this off as a clown show of Republican/American Fascist Party idiots making outlandish claims, but you need to stop laughing right now. Remember these claims prompted thousands of people to beat police on Jan. 6 and to seek out Mike Pence and Nancy Pelosi on that same day to murder them. There is nothing funny about losing our democracy right in front of us.
In fact, these fake claims of fraud have made it "okay" for the Republican/American Fascist Party to pass laws in almost every red state that has made it harder for actual American citizens to cast their votes, and to make it easier for partisan hacks appointed by politicians to actually steal the election the next time around. Keep that in mind.
It is up to us as American citizens to put an end to this authoritarian movement at the ballot box. Make no mistake, it is an authoritarian movement, whose candidates now claim on a daily basis that elections are being stolen despite all the evidence to the contrary. Even sham audits like the one performed by the Cyber Ninjas, an organization of pro-Trump hacks, who donated to Trump's fascist campaign for President, can't even find widespread fraud like Dumbo Don claims. This was a group who went in looking to confirm all his stupid ramblings in Arizona and couldn't manage to do so despite no real transparency and oversight.
Here is Arizona's American Fascist Party member Paul Gosar's reaction to the Cyber Ninja's claims that the Joe Biden, much to their dismay, actually won Arizona for the fourth time.
We must as democracy loving Americans to put an end to this fascist/authoritarian movement being executed by the far right in this country, and the only way to do so is to vote out these closeted fascists from all walks of government. We must purge all the GOP fascists from government in such overwhelming numbers in the next election that it leaves no doubt as to who is in charge - the American people.
They will not change their stripes until they see it politically damaging to go along with the "Big Lie" and to support Dumbo Don, and his fascist thugs.
First we must start by supporting our democracy-loving friends from New Jersey and Virginia, who will be voting in less than 2 weeks to keep GOP/fascists from taking over the governors' offices in those respective states.
Next we must target for defeat other fascist Governors like Ron SeSantis (Florida), Greg Abbott (Texas) and Kristi Noem (South Dakota), among others.
Here is a current list of the targets of GOP/fascists who need to be voted out in the upcoming 2022 elections:
Ron Johnson (Senator) - Wisconsin
Chuck Grassley (Senator) - Iowa
Marco Rubio (Senator) - Florida
As far as the Senate is concerned there is also four seats in which the moderate Republicans are not running for re-election, so you can expect the nominee to be a fascist from the Trump wing of the Party (Ohio, Missouri, Pennsylvania, North Carolina).
These people must be defeated if we are to maintain our democracy, and we must re-elect the following Democrats: Mark Kelly (Arizona), Maggie Hassan (New Hampshire), Catherine Masto (Nevada), Raphael Warnock (Georgia).
In the House of Representatives, it is a who's who of fascists:
Matt Gaetz (FL), Jim Jordan (Ohio), Paul Gosar (AZ), Lauren Boebert (CO), Marjorie Taylor Green (GA), Steve Scalise (LA), Elise Stefanik (NY), Kevin McCarthy (CA), Devin Nunes (CA), Jim Banks (IN), Andy Biggs (AZ), Mo Brooks (AL), Madison Cawthorn (NC), Andrew Clyde (TX), Louie Gohmert (TX), and Chip Roy (TX).
NOTE: Going forward I will refer to the Party formerly known as the GOP as the Republican/American Fascist Party. I will refer to moderate Republicans by name or as moderate Republicans. I will never stop using the term American Fascist Party until the threat posed by Donald Trump, his Trumpist brownshirts in Congress, and his army of domestic terrorists has been destroyed in full at the ballot box.
