This Deseret News article on Senator Romney’s (R-UT) rational position on the recent Presidential election caught my eye:
Former President Donald Trump will never admit that he lost a fair election, but every elected Republican ought to be telling voters that as a step toward bringing the country together, Sen. Mitt Romney said Tuesday.
In addition to social media perpetuating the “big lie” that Trump is somehow still president and President Joe Biden stole the election, GOP officials, too, are contributing to that notion, the Utah Republican said.
“You have many of the Trump supporters in elected office, senators, congresspeople, governors, continuing to say the same thing, that the election was stolen,” Romney said.
The phrase was … but every elected Republican ought to be telling voters that as a step toward bringing the country together.
And it suddenly became obvious, at least for GOPers who were both elected in the recent election and continue to perpetuate the big lie.
I suggest that at every public forum at which they appear, a flashmob suddenly appears, and they begin this, ah, chanting dialog with the elected official:
FLASH MOB: You stole your election! You stole your election!
OFFICIAL: I did not!
FM: You stole your election! You stole your election!
OFFICIAL: I did not!
FM: PROVE IT, THEN! PROVE IT, THEN!
OFFICIAL: I don’t have to! You have no proof!
FM: JUST LIKE YOU DON’T ABOUT THE PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION, YOU HYPOCRITICAL, LEG HUMPING, PANTS WETTER! WE DON’T NEED ANY!
OFFICIAL: What?
FM: ELECTION STEALER! ELECTION STEALER! WE DEMAND A RECOUNT OF YOUR ELECTION! AND THEN ANOTHER ONE! AND THEN ANOTHER ONE! AND THEN WE DON’T CARE, YOU STOLE THE ELECTION REGARDLESS!
OFFICIAL: THIS IS CRAZY!
FM: EXACTLY, YOU DUMBSHIT! STOP BEING A DUMBSHIT AND WE’LL STOP DOING THIS!
Because, quite frankly, it sounds exhausting. And it might need some tuning. But it should drive the point home: If one election is illegitimate despite absolutely no proof, then they’re all illegitimate for both sides.
Spread the word, folks. This might work.
