    Default Birth of the Big Lie

    Months before the election, when Trump first told a rally crowd he would only lose if the election were stolen, the seed for last week’s assault on the Capitol was planted. Trump repeated this claim at his rallies many times in the weeks leading up to November 3. Why? Was it because the polls showed him on track to win? The polls from September to election eve showed Trump behind. Was it because of his high approval rating ? His approval rating was in negative territory consistently in the months before the election. In spite of those bleak indicators was it because the smart money in Las Vegas said he would win anyway. On election eve Vegas odds were 67 percent for a Biden victory, 33 percent for a Trump victory.

    On what basis then was the demonstrably dumb claim made that Biden could only win by stealing the election?

    On the basis of calculated deceit.

    It was a setup for the fraud claims that exploded across the country after Trump’s defeat. By then the idea of a stolen election was baked in. Had Trump not already filled his followers heads with it the claim would have sounded desperate and hollow coming in the wake of an election that went pretty much as predicted. In fact, Trump did slightly better than predicted, easily winning both Florida and Ohio where some polls showed him even or behind.

    And so after weeks of gestation the Big Lie was born.

    The vote for Biden, was a vote to bring back 'normalacy'. You know, Corporate America. Something we all recognized. Trump represented 'One Party Rule' and a 'Dictatorship'.

    How come all the votes 'for Trump' are legit, but all the votes 'for Biden' are fraudulent? It seems like Trump is just a Sore Loser.

    Remotely maybe but one (Obama's) was a mostly harmless overstatement about medical insurance while the other (Trump's) was a cynical ploy to steal a national election. Yes, the actual steal would have been his had he pulled it off instead of going down in flames, in which he still plunges.

    Yes, and "STOP THE STEAL" was literally a call to action, and the means by which they would "Stop the Steal" was murder.

    First of all, who in the fucking world likes their health care plan? No one.

    You don't like your health care plan, you like the access your health care plan gets you.

    And even then, it's limited access to those in your network. You can't go to any doctor you want...you can only go to those on a pre-approved list...a list you had no involvement or feedback in.

    This is a system you like? Are you stupid?

    You like paying premiums?

    You like paying deductibles?

    You like paying for prescription drugs?

    You like paying for ambulance rides?

    You like lifetime caps?

    You like being disqualified because of preexisting conditions?

    You like to pay coinsurance?

    You like being able to only go to doctors in your provider network?

    You like not being able to shop around for your health?

    Who likes any of that shit?
