Republicans adhere to the “big lie” that Joe Biden cheated Donald Trump out of the 2020 election. Meanwhile, Democrats adhere to a big lie of their own, namely that Donald Trump cheated Hillary Clinton out of the 2016 election. Clinton didn’t help when she recently read the speech she had prepared for her 2016 “victory.”
Democrats are still completely wound up over the fact that Donald Trump falsely claims that he won the 2020 presidential election, and the Jan. 6 Capitol Hill riot. Yet Democrats quickly forgot about something far worse than lying about losing and a failed coup: the 2000 presidential election actually was stolen, in part due to a violent coup, and as a result more than 1 million people in Iraq and Afghanistan died. Democrats forgot so thoroughly that they now treat Bush like an elder statesman to be respected rather than thrown into prison for the rest of his life as he deserves.
