Instead, Republicans spent most of their time screaming about fraud when the Trump legal team never, ever,
ever claimed fraud in court. Republicans spent time claiming voters had voted who should not have. As of today, more than two months after the general election,
the GOP has never presented actual names. In their most credible case in Georgia, the President’s team dismissed the case.
To be sure, some fringe websites have presented names, but their information is bogus and has been debunked.
But time and again, instead of focusing on legitimate legal concerns, the GOP focused on false krakens led by Rudy Giuliani, Sidney Powell, and Lin Wood. It’s like the GOP campaigned for an Academy Award against Gladiator by putting Rudy in a speedo and filming him with an iPhone while he is flinging his TV remote control yelling “Are you not entertained?” Then some conservatives demanded state legislatures throw out the Electoral College members selected by votes of their citizens — a move that, had the Democrats done it in 2016, would have outraged Republicans.
Instead of exercising any level of humility, Republicans either believed a bunch of lies and would not accept any facts to the contrary or they simply didn’t care and decided to build an army of lies to overwhelm and defeat the truth.
