The Label He Hates
Since November 3rd, Trump has been childishly ranting about the election, obstinately refusing to accept the inevitable. For the most part, his enablers have played along with his claims of massive fraud and even amplified his claims. There are now plans being circulated by Trump loyalists in Congress to actually steal the election from the voters on January 6th when both houses meet to tally the electoral votes and finally certify the election. That effort will fail, of course, but the damage Trumpists will do to our democracy is incalculable.
Let’s consider how we got here. One of these conclusions are true:
-
- Thousands of voting machines, run by Dominion Voting Systems, were manipulated by a server in Berlin to delete millions of votes for Trump and flip the votes to Biden. Dominion has links to Venezuela and its dead former president Hugo Chavez. Also, thousands of dead people voted for Biden, and thousands of volunteer vote tabulators added suitcases full of fake ballots, all in favor of Biden. Republican vote observers were denied access to the counting rooms in counties where Trump lost. Also, state legislatures violated the Constitution by making it easier and safer for legal registered voters to vote during an exploding pandemic. Mysteriously, all of this massive voter fraud and unconstitutional action exclusively benefitted Biden. While the election was being stolen from Trump, Republicans gained seats in the US House and kept control in most State houses. To accomplish this fraud on Trump, the conspiracy was massive, requiring thousands of politicians, career staffers, and volunteers all over the country to conspire to steal the election. Then all of those involved in the conspiracy committed perjury or just remained silent to cover their crime.
- More people voted for Biden.
From Merriam Webster:
: a scientific and philosophical rule that entities should not be multiplied unnecessarily which is interpreted as requiring that the simplest of competing theories be preferred to the more complex or that explanations of unknown phenomena be sought first in terms of known quantities.
In short, Occam’s Razor is used to “cut away” unrelated, irrelevant, extraneous, and confusing assertions to get to the true answer. For example, a fence post in a pasture is broken. a) That post was run over by a Unicorn chasing Bigfoot, or b) a nail in the old fence post rusted through. Answer b is the obvious, and simplest answer. The case of our two alternatives for the election is obviously answer 2.
So why is Trump in such severe denial? There are dozens of reasons including fear of criminal prosecution, running out of money, and narcissistic greed. The simplest answer? Being labeled A LOSER. He calls everyone he doesn’t like “losers” including dead soldiers and people who dare criticize him. To Trump, being a loser is a fate worse than any other. The ironic thing is that his behavior is keeping him in front of the American people as the sorest of sore losers. And, history will remember Trump as impeached, a one termer, and…
A LOSER
