Occam's Razor
First: an account mt sister gave about watching Fox News when the counting stopped: I assume you are right. I didn’t personally see this but if you say so, then it must be true. you’re my sister, so you wouldn’t lie to me! So, we should ask ourselves, why would the vote counting be stopped on election night? Your efforts to pin this on Google are not credible (see my conclusion to this piece to fine out why). People refer to crooked Dems in swing states. Pejorative – alleging don’t make it so. Where is the evidence? Vast amounts of Biden votes dumped. Ditto the above. Maybe the folks who were counting got tired and needed a break? Most sensible commentaries I have seen or read do allow for some voter irregularities. In an election with that many millions of votes cast it would be more than remarkable if some were not quite kosher. But, crucially, not in a sufficient numbers to invalidate a state’s overall allocation of electoral college votes. Hyperbole does not do you or any Trumpie supporter any credit. As I have said, if there are credible allegations of fraud or irregularities, they must be investigated.
Second: may I point you to https://blogs.lse.ac.uk/usappblog/2018/11/22/almost-60-percent-of-americans-believe-in-conspiracy-theories-about-jfk-heres-why-that-might-be-a-problem/
The idea that it’s all a giant conspiracy is not new nor is not remotely credible. Why? This article admits that to believe in a voter conspiracy you have to believe in a long line of Democrat conspiracies. And why not sayeth the author? One of the real strengths of our Constitution is that freedom of expression is sacrosanct (except for yelling FIRE in a crowded theatre). Therefore commentators are free to pedal the most outlandish conspiracy theories and present them as facts, because the FF believed that the individual will always be of sufficient intellect, experience, common sense and ability to separate shit from Shineola (as my Old Man used to say). In the modern age of Facebook, Twitter and some crazy thing my brother Mark just joined, the FF would have to reassess their plan.
Third: The article’s assertion that should the Supreme Court overturn the election result and in consequence the Left goes berserk (actually everyone should go berserk!) - well to hell with them! Trump will still be President, and he won’t feel constrained in his response to any of them.
You can read this as a call for civil unrest, insurrection and chaos to replace democracy and decency. I resist. So should everyone who (including my nephew, my brother, all who served in the military and the President) swore to preserve, protect and defend the Constitution. In the end I believe Trump will do so, despite the loonies egging him on.
Finally: I interject into all of the above the philosophical concept of Occam’s Razor.
In order to believe in a Kennedy Assassination Conspiracy and a fraud perpetrated on the public by the Democratic Party to get rid of Trump you have to believe in what must have been the most wide-spread, multi-faith, multi-ethnic, multi-anti-democratic, multi-Party fraud whose conspirators must number not in the tens, or hundreds, or thousands, but in the hundred-thousands (if not more) all of whom blithely go along with a conspiracy so alien to all that America stands for that Biden becoming President overcomes all their good sense, scruples, principles and common sense.
This is just silly. Lee Harvey Oswald shot Kennedy. The moon landings were not faked. Joe Biden won the election.
