The Next Two Years Will Be All About a Stolen Election

You might be wondering why Republicans are almost all backing Donald
Trump’s ridiculous claim that he won the election, and it’s only massive
voter fraud that makes it look like he lost. What’s the point? They all
know that Trump will lose his court challenges, and in the meantime they
look like idiots.

The answer is pretty simple: they want to enter the Biden presidency with
their base riled up about a stolen election. Maybe Lindsey Graham will
start up an endless Senate investigation to keep it fresh in everyone’s
mind. This provides Republicans with a great excuse to obstruct everything
Biden tries to do, and two years from now it gives them a great foundation
to turn out their base and win back the House.

Is this disgusting and obscene? Of course it is. But what else would you
expect from the party of Benghazi and Hillary’s emails and Hunter’s laptop
and Fox News? A party that knows only how to attack and nothing else?

Still, having said that, about half the country feels just fine supporting
a party that acts this way. The rest of us better figure out what to do
about that.
