The last few days, there has been a whole host of fretting by the mainstream media and the people on the Left with accusations of treason being thrown around and the old saw about undermining our Democracy being trotted out.
It all stems from the fact that there are quite a few people who look upon the 2020 Election suspiciously because of all the changes to voting that were made under the auspices of the pandemic, changes that sometimes abandoned the legality of the election process (and yes, I get it... if you’re on the Left everything was perfect but as someone who has worked polls for a decade I can tell you pointedly that it was not at all).
Regardless of where you fall on the spectrum concerning these conspiracy theories I find it funny that the people screaming the loudest have such amazingly short memories when we look at their behavior after an election where they weren’t happy with the outcome:

Seems to me if certain actions make a person unhappy they need to look in the mirror first before complaining about the behavior of others. No one ever thought of the long term affects of these things but now the bill has come due.
