Please Don't Throw Me In That Briar Patch!

"If we don't solve the Presidential Election Fraud of 2020 (which we have thoroughly and conclusively documented), Republicans will not be voting in '22 or '24," Trump said. "It is the single most important thing for Republicans to do."

Okay. Cool.  And about this:

"Why isn't the January 6th Unselect Committee of partisan hacks studying the massive Presidential Election Fraud, which took place on November 3rd and was the reason that hundreds of thousands of people went to Washington to protest on January 6th?" Trump asked, even though his claims of fraud were long ago debunked.

"Look at the numbers now being reported on the fraud, which we now call the 'Really Big Lie.' You cannot study January 6th without studying the reason it happened, November 3rd," Trump argued, attempting to claim that those debunking his lies are the ones actually lying.

"But the Democrats don't want to do that because they know what took place on Election Day in the Swing States, and beyond. If we had an honest media this Election would have been overturned many months ago, but our media is almost as corrupt as our political system!" Trump argued, though even Fox News has accurately reported Trump lost the election. 

There is no provision in law for reversing an election because of fraud.  There is no court ruling, out of 60+, that fraud in the 2020 election occurred.  Even if it did (and in a few cases it did, always involving a Trump voter somewhere in the country), there is no legal doctrine, statute, regulation, or Constitutional provision or interpretation allowing for the entire election to be undone and the outcome handed to the loser.

So if Trump wants to run on the 2020 election outcome, and try to hold the 2022 and 2024 elections hostage, more power to him.  I can't think of better ways to suppress the Republican vote turnout, and I'm all for that. 

Once again, let us all give thanks to the courts.  They are saving democracy for the rest of us, from the vocal minority that shouts the loudest at us.

My only concern is that this plan will peak too soon. Because history says it will work.

    Never let it be said that there was one thing Trump said that I wouldn't support entirely. I'd love for his supporters to stop voting. Them and Republican-fascists in general.
