Who Loses Here?

How annoying that no one had the right answer, I presume:

During a rambling rehash of false assertions of voter fraud, President Donald Trump claimed that Republicans will never lose an election “for 50 years” if his allies in Congress pass the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility Act (SAVE) America Act, which critics have called the most restrictive anti-voting law in U.S. history.

“I tell you what, Republicans have to win this one,” Trump said during a speech at a steel facility in Rome, Georgia. “We’ll never lose a race. For 50 years, we won’t lose a race.” [Democracy Docket]

The proper answer would be … America loses every single race!

This is the basis of America, participatory democracy, where we all have some input into the process of governance. If races are rigged, as Trump is implicitly advocating, then the purpose of America, a peaceful selection of legislators and executives, will dissolve the Union into wee little States with varying levels of freedom, and an outsized vulnerability to larger adversaries, such as China.

And America loses.
