Donald Trump lost the 2020 election. Badly. After having won 304 of the 538 possible Electoral College votes in the 2016 election, his total dropped to 232 in 2020. That’s not particularly close. Gerald Ford was closer in 1976 when he was beat by Jimmy Carter and even John Kerry did better in 2004 against George W. Bush. And of course Al Gore was much, much closer in 2000.

Whether it is mental defect or dishonesty that causes Trump and his most fervent supporters to continue the Big Lie about the 2020 outcome isn’t important. What is important is that the lie is fully rejected and every available means to defend our civic systems against such a lie gaining any traction in the future is employed.
