I voted Republican from 1976 (Gerald Ford) until 2012 (Mitt Romney). I could see through the consummate lying conman Donald Trump and voted for Evan McMullin in 2016. I don’t understand the support people continue to throw towards Trump. Then it dawned on me what was happening when I heard people at church tell of their favorite commentators on FOX news.
I asked them: “Did Biden win the 2020 presidential election?”
They tell me there was so much fraud and that Trump actually won.
I then say: “The greatest fraud was committed by Donald Trump when he called Georgia election officials in an hour long conversation telling them, ‘I just want to find 11,780 votes, which is one more than we have. Because we won the state.’”
“What are you talking about?” they ask me.
I tell them, “That’s what Trump’s court case is about in Georgia.”
They respond with: “I only thought he had a court case in New York.”
I am incredulous they don’t know simple, widespread information regarding what is going on in this country. I realize it is because they only listen to FOX news opinions and other conservative news.
This conversation happened last month, over three years after the election. I try to get people to watch mainstream media like NBC, ABC and CBS but they refuse, saying, “They are just trying to sell things to me.”
I realize Trump leads a personality cult. However, a majority of his prior administration believes he shouldn’t be re-elected.
That’s an apt warning.
