I think a lot of us on the “smart guy” Right have struggled since November 2020 to put into words our rationale for believing the last US presidential election was fraudulent. Leftists gobble on about the “Big Lie” and point up the insane conspiracy theories peddled by Lin Wood and Sidney Powell (who were probably Regime plants, in my not-so-humble opinion) as a way to distract from the perfectly sensible observation that the election looked extremely sketchy — but it’s hard to really explain why it’s so obvious to us that the election was a travesty.
Fortunately other people are better than me at expressing these kinds of things. The podcaster Daryl Cooper, known also as MartyrMade, is a truly gifted communicator with a knack for seeing world historical events from “outside”. If you enjoy long-form historical commentary, as well as seething existential horror, I invite you to listen to his nightmarish podcast The Anti-Humans on the horrors of the communist bloc in the years following World War II. But here is a more recent article, apparently inspired by the fact that both Tucker Carlson and Donald Trump name-dropped him because of a deeply insightful Twitter thread on the reasons why Boomer cons (and everybody else who doesn’t pray to the Woke gods) think the election was stolen.
I encourage you to read the whole thing; it’s not long and it says many things I would have written if I wasn’t such a scatterbrained science sperg. Here’s a quote to whet your appetite:
This is where people whose political identities have for decades been largely defined by a naive belief in what they learned in civics class began to see the outline of a Regime that crossed not only partisan, but all institutional boundaries. They’d been taught that America didn’t have Regimes, but what else was this thing they’d seen step out from the shadows to unite against their interloper president?
Tl;dr — something truly changed in 2020; the faith of the core American in their country broke, and I think that deep down most of us know that that broken faith is in all likelihood no longer fixable. A great change is coming, must come; what will it be?
