I am not going to call these people Republicans, because, despite the fact that the republican party has never had my support because they don’t believe as I do about civil liberty and equality in my opinion, they seemed to have at least a smidgen of sense. These people that are yelling and screaming that trump was cheated are NOT republicans, they can only be called Trumpians. It seems to me that they are entirely willing to destroy the democratic republic in order to get their own way.

Once again, like the last time, I am linking to a post by Amodpovw because some of my position has been influenced by my reading of his last blog. Now, I am not putting words in his mouth. I have no idea if he would agree, or at least would say it the way I am going to. However, my discussion with him indicates two things. One is that people often damage themselves in being naive enough to fall for the wrong leader or ally. The other is that sedition is a thing that might just apply to some of what the Trumpians are trying to pull.

One of the frighteningly funny things about conspiracy theories and the people that buy into them is that evidence doesn’t enter into it. In fact, lack of evidence is somehow considered a validation of the conspiracy. Apparently, in this current situation, we are being asked, once more, to believe that numberless persons in both parties and across state lines, but only in Democratic or swing states, not in heavily Republican states, are involved in a huge conspiracy to steal the election. The courts have ruled, over and over again, that there is no evidence that anybody stole the election.

Now, if this was just Democratically appointed judges, it might be a lot easier to understand why they continue to believe this conspiracy theory. However, that is not the case. We have had not one, but three Supreme Court Justices refuse to buy into it that I was concerned might just be amenable to doing so. Those are the three that trump appointed to the SC. But even THEY rejected the claim that Texas was presenting. And that is not all, in Wisconsin, a trump appointed judge was the one that rejected a state bid.

trump spouting this, I almost understand. He is the man who demands personal loyalty, while giving none, regardless of what it does to the country. He, I understand. But there are too many other naive brainwashed (??) persons screaming the same destructive crap. It makes me wonder if they WANT to destroy the nation.

What is the current situation? We have a “stop the steal” movement, although there has been no evidence presented to any court that proves such happened. They gathered, led by Alex Jones, rabble-rouser extra-ordinary, and chanted “burn the GOP down”. Then Alex Jones gave a stirring speech. And what did he suggest, you might very well ask? He maintained that they would not back down. In fact, he swore that “Biden will be taken out one way or another”. If Biden happens to get killed before taking office, we will certainly know where part of the impetus for that murder came from, won’t we?!!

Going back to the discussion I had with Amodpovw, the word Sedition came up. Sedition has, despite the “freedom of speech clause” been in existence for over 200 years. It was the result of the first test of that freedom. The rule is that people can be punished up to exportation for issuing untrue and missing statements about the nation. These Trumpians are getting dangerously close to that line in the eyes of some. In fact, there is a probably fairly small, for now, movement, to refuse to seat anybody that signed that Texas lawsuit from being seated in Congress under the Sedition rule.

In continuing to spread conspiracy theories about huge failings of our electoral process, without evidence, as ruled by many different court cases, they are not just attempting to “burn the GOP down”, they are in effect attacking our very system of government, which could probably be called “burning the nation down”. That seems to me to be very close to treason.
