On the contrary, the big lie – that Trump actually defeated Joe Biden – is Republican orthodoxy. More than half of House Republicans voted against certifying the election. Think of Marjorie Taylor Greene, Lauren Boebert and Matt Gaetz as the children of the Maga poster. Lincoln’s party has been transformed into a pit of conspiracy theories and grievances. On Monday, the special committee of the House listened to those whom Trump deliberately ignored. Bill Barr, Attorney General of Trump. Bill Stepien, director of his campaign. and Jason Miller, a senior political adviser, all appeared on screen under oath. Collectively, their message was consistent. On November 3, 2020, Trump finished second to a man who strongly despised him. Even Jared Kouchner, his son-in-law, and Ivanka, his beloved child, reluctantly admitted that the electorate had rejected him. Beyond that, they argued that Trump’s post-election denials were anchored in the imagination, nothing more. “Just out of the box on election night, the president claimed there was a lot of fraud going on,” Barr said in a video. “I mean, it happened, as far as I could tell, before there was actually any possibility of examining evidence.” Barr added: “There has never been a show of interest in the facts.” In other words, Trump refused to let reality stop a coup. In the short term, committee hearings are unlikely to move voters. But 2024 may present a different opportunity He went on to try to overthrow the election illegally, set fire to democracy and destroy the constitution. If that meant Mike Pence, Trump’s unfortunate vice president, would hang on the gallows, it would be a price to pay to appease the then president’s ambition and satisfy the bloody desire of his base. Not to forget, from 2015 onwards, violence and threats were key components of Trump’s rallies and appeal. Looking back, the distance between MSNBC’s campaign’s Katy Tur’s campaign and Pence’s murder was short. Trump telling the Proud Boys in the middle of a conversation to “stand back and stand by” was partly a prelude and partly a cry of battle. Two months later, the nation saw the bloody result. In the short term, committee hearings are unlikely to move voters. But 2024 may present a different opportunity. In the context of inflation and crime concerns, the Republican victory in the coming intervening years remains the most likely outcome. With the numbers, half the US thinks the hearings have no effect on the way they vote in less than six months. Among Republicans, that percentage is growing to almost 70%. Further, the hearings could make Trump inadmissible to a fairly large section of Republican voters – with Ron DeSadis, governor of the Florida Cultural War, emerging as the main beneficiary. Already, betting markets are giving Trump and Desadis the same 38% chance of winning their party’s presidency. Similarly, players say both men have less than three in 10 shots to be elected president. For DeSantis, these are big numbers. for Trump, not so much. And then there are the Rupert Murdoch newspapers – the Wall Street Journal and the New York Post. An article in the WSJ on January 10, 2022, read: In the Post, the tabloid described Trump as “King Lear of Mar-a-Lago”, accused him of refusing to “accept reality” and described January 6 as “national shame”. Right now, Rudy Giuliani still seems ready to whisper sweet lies in Trump’s ears. Currently, the former reality show hosts buses between Florida and New Jersey. He remains anxious. Like Napoleon on the Elbe, he plans his revenge and return. Do not wait to join reality soon.
