Trump Was Right: Our Presidential Elections are Rigged
From 1789 until today, our government promised its citizens “free
and fair elections.” For the most part, it was a promise kept until 2000. Beginning in 1981, the ugliest profession
became increasingly vile and destructive. The ambitions of professional
politicians drove our two political parties into a frenzy, placing reelection
ahead of the public interest. The desire for power replaced any intent to “do
the right thing” for the people of their country.
Before I continue,
let me repeat myself. The two reasons our legislative branch is dysfunctional are
supported by fact, and are undeniable.
Our Founding Fathers
admitted to the imperfection of their efforts at the Constitutional Convention.
Letters after its completion written by Jefferson, Madison, Adams, and others
confirmed their naivete. They believed that their successors would improve upon
what they had begun, and the results would become the creation of the greatest
country in the world. Unfortunately, that never happened.
I have no doubt that two
errors in judgment were the foundation for the complete failure of our federal
government in the 21st century.
The creators of the
United States of America made the decision not to impose term limits on all three
branches of our government. Included in this huge mistake was granting lifetime
appointments to the justices of the Supreme Court. Their intentions and beliefs
were ensuring the prevention of members of the Court becoming politicized, and
therefore allowing bias to participate in their decisions.
In 2025 there is
irrefutable proof that longevity, the holding of public office for long periods
of time, results in great power for the individual. It is a fact that “power
corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely.”
The poster boy for my
allegation is Moscow Mitch McConnell. The old man of the senate has been a
member of that esteemed body for the last 40 years. There is not a single
record of an accomplishment which benefitted the lives of all Americans over
those four decades. His efforts have been focused on his personal ambitions and
the success of his political party.
One of his lifetime
goals was to overturn the decision of a respected Supreme Court in 1973. Roe v
Wade protected a woman’s right to decide the fate of her personal physical and
mental health: a basic human right.
After establishing
and then breaking his own unconstitutional rule, Moscow Mitch stacked the Court
with three justices whose only qualifications were a promise to overturn Roe v
Wade. On June 24, 2022, he was successful. A 49-year-old decision was
overturned by a biased and politicized Supreme Court.
The second mistake
removed the right of the people to choose their president. Although most of our
Founding Fathers believed that ‘every vote should count,’ the leaders of the
new nation’s most populated states capitulated to smaller states and established
the Electoral College. This led the way for the establishment of “red” and “blue”
states, allowing politicians and the super-rich to decide the outcome of our
elections. Every argument in support of the Electoral College is simply
bullshit. The people, not the states should choose the man or woman who will
lead us for the next four years. And, yes, every vote should count.
Which brings me to
the 2000 election.
As the votes were
counted, it was assumed that Al Gore would win the popular vote, but the vote
of the Electoral College was undecided. The results of the
election would be confirmed by the state of Florida and its 25 Electoral
College votes.
The dispute would be
decided by one county. It was decided that the votes would be recounted by hand.
While the count was in progress, the Supreme Court of the United States
violated its Constitutional requirement and halted the counting of votes,
declaring George W. Bush our 43rd president. This was not a free and
fair election. The will of the people was ignored.
In 2016, just one
month before the November 8 election, a meeting in the White House requested by
our nation’s security agencies confirmed that Russia was engaged in massive
efforts to aid Donald Trump in his effort to win the presidency. Our nation’s
leaders, President Obama, Vice-President Biden, Democratic Party leaders, Nancy
Pelosi, and Chuck Schumer, Republican leaders, Moscow Mitch McConnell, and Paul
Ryan, decided not to allow the voting public about Vladimir Putin’s efforts.
Trump became our nation’s first illegitimate president, elected with the
assistance of a foreign nation, the mainstream media, and James Comey.
After the shocking
and controversial results of the 2024 election, a respected tech company
offered their belief that Russian agents hacked into the voting machines in what
have become known as ‘swing states,’ and altered the results of the election.
Trump won all seven swing states??????
My opinion is that
our government knew what happened and in actions of cowardice and hypocrisy
refused to tell the American people the truth. Therefore, there will never be a
free and fair election in America during what remains of my lifetime. The
system is broken and beyond repair.
