1) Admirable guy.

2) One of the reasons that democracy was able to survive 2020 was that there were Republicans like Richer who refused to go along with "If Trump says two plus two is five it's five." The Trumpists are working hard to make sure they're all purged by 2024. What happens then?

The gaslighting will continue until the morale collapses.

No observers of elections, most notably the post-2000 Carter Baker report writers, defend the integrity of the American elections. They are considered a worldwide joke and have been since Daley and LBJ stuffed the ballot boxes of Chicago and Houston for JFK.

For glib propagandists from coastal inc. to act like the coercion, chain of custody violations, harvesting, pay for ballot, lack of audit trail, ID and verification issues, and various other flaws in our absentee ballot system are not a far worse problem for democracy than Trump's Queens bred vulgarity is just sad and dishonest.

The same writers who have no problem exposing billions in PPP fraud in a system with extensive kyc, aml procedures, 2 factor authentication and real ID, somehow turn mute with the thought a no ID, live ballot, zero chain of custody system could be hacked with billions in unregulated funds flowing into elections in

Here is the thing. Perhaps the lack of interest by the coastal navel gazers in ballot integrity would be credible IF they hadn't spent 4 years lapping up the Russia collusion hoax, Kavanaugh pulling the train, Quid pro Joe Ukraine corruption ( with gas tycoon turned artist Hunter).

But hey, all your efforts did rid us of those mean tweets and get us massive inflation, dead marines and hundreds of hostages in Afghanistan, Covid monomania, and an armed capitol helmed by a dementia patient. So there's that to tell your grandchildren.
