jakeem Posted November 19, 2020 Share Posted November 19, 2020 Steve Benen @stevebenen Since the election, Trump and his allies set out to convince GOP voters that the results are illegitimate, and the country's electoral system is corrupt. Polling suggests the messaging campaign is working as planned. Despite reality, Republican voters believe bogus 'fraud' claims Trump and much of the GOP have spent the post-election period telling their base that the nation's electoral system is corrupt.

Bogie56 Posted November 19, 2020 Author Share Posted November 19, 2020 David Frum @davidfrum · 2h No more happy talk about the "uniquely American transition of power." Trump presidency and this post-election period confirm that the US is *less* committed to democratic norms - and has *weaker* institutional safeguards for democracy - than peer wealthy democracies. David Frum @davidfrum · 1h Replying to @davidfrum 80 million people voted to eject Trump and replace him. One official at the General Services Administration has successfully defied that vote for some 2 weeks. In a more democratic culture, she'd say No. The story of the Trump years is how many like her have said Yes. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
