Since slavery and the ensuing civil war, has there ever was an open question more critical to the country or more fundamentally divisive among Americans today than that of election integrity?
There is at present a great schism among the people, with half or so of the voters believing our elections are shot through with fraud, and the other half oblivious or doggedly maintaining otherwise. What sets these two groups apart?
When it comes to the positions taken by liberal/Democrat/RINO coalition on this and other issues, many things are intuitively obvious - like the answer to a question directed to a liberal Democrat participant in another forum:
"Why are you so opposed to a comprehensive hearing of the evidence of 2020 election fraud?"
Why would anyone who gives the slightest diddly-damn about the truth be opposed to examining such evidence if it exists?
And yet, the Democrats and their RINO collaborators have fought to prevent such an inquiry since the first objections were raised, viciously attacking ad hominem those who raised questions, characterizing them as "election deniers", "believers in the Big Lie", "insurrectionists" and "threats to democracy" - all without any supporting evidence or addressing in the least degree the specifics of the objections raised or the attendant evidence.
The credibility of WHAT you see argued is directly a function of HOW it is argued. Find the truth in the methodology of argument. The truth cuts its own way and can be argued for in an honest, open manner that does not insult the intelligence of those it seeks to persuade. Deceit cannot be so argued.
The entire grand edifice of our democratic Republic teeters on this one principle - election integrity. If our elections are not free and fair, we have neither a democratic Republic nor a "government of the people, for the people, by the people". Instead, we have a government of thieves, a kleptocracy, a group of corrupt individuals who manipulate the electoral process in the interest of their own wealth and power.
Under such a kleptocracy - and we have been living under such a government since January 2021 - the people have become pawns and slaves, human batteries like those depicted in "The Matix" series of movies - human beings whose energy and lifeblood are sucked away to power up and enrich the evil, tyrannical world of those who have enslaved them.
A corrupted, manipulated electoral process is thus tantamount to the overthrow of our democratic Republic and the enslavement of the population.
Accordingly, every honest, patriotic, informed citizen of this great heretofore free country - every one of us who cherishes our sacred God-given freedoms and the rule of law that flows from our inspired Constitution - should be and will be focused like a laser beam on the issue of election integrity and will demand an honest and open airing of the pertinent evidence bearing on that subject.
All honest, freedom-loving, patriotic people among us - however divergent their views on some issues - should be in complete accord on this one issue. We must have free and fair elections. If there are honest questions raised about the integrity of the electoral process, those issues must be fully aired and examined in the bright light of day in the sight of the whole people. This ought to be the first priority among a people who suppose they are living in a democratic Republic.
Who among us, then, would be opposed to a careful and open examination of all the evidence regarding such a critical issue - an existential issue for the Republic - and for what reasons would they be opposed?
Here is where the intuition kicks in.
The answer that immediately jumps to mind is, no honest person! No one interested in getting at the truth. No one interested in honestly settling this critical issue in the minds of the whole people.
Indeed, who would be opposed unless they knew they had something to hide, something damning that would be revealed if such an open examination were to be undertaken?
Right vs. wrong, truth vs. lies, knowledge vs. ignorance, reality vs. fantasy, law vs. lawlessness, order vs. chaos, liberty vs. tyranny, light vs. darkness, good vs. evil, life vs. death, God vs. the Godless…
What’ll it be, folks - door #1 or door #2? You can’t not pick…
If you can be fooled, you will be.
These are the times that try men’s souls…
