The Lindells, Lakes & Trumps of the world have set this precious republic back immeasurably.
There are millions now who will never trust a result unless their candidate wins. Think about that. If there are several pillars that represent the foundation of what we have, election integrity is one of them, and probably the most important. Without it, we can fall apart, very easily.
I'm sure someone will post a quote from Hillary or Gore - but both candidates conceded their losses. And neither came close to a fraction of the constant drumbeat we have heard from the deniers on the right since 2020.
Just to remind everyone: the Big Lie started because a narcissist who literally cannot accept losing - in any area of life - refused, not surprisingly, to accept his loss, and told everyone the election was rigged. He also said there was "massive fraud" in 2016, only because he lost the popular vote. He also called 2012 a sham.
And for anyone who believes there was a massive conspiracy: there would have to have been operatives and people in the know in at least 6 states, dozens of counties, and hundreds of precincts. I believe it was Ben Franklin who said that 3 people can keep a secret - if 2 of them are dead.
