Republicans caught stealing (this) home

The Supreme Court, pointing out that the State of Texas lacks legal standing to meddle in how other states handle their elections, has refused to even hear the absurd lawsuit filed by Texas Atty. Gen. Ken Paxton and several other Republican state attorneys general attempting to overturn the presidential election result. 

Over a hundred GOP members of the House beclowned themselves by filing a brief siding with Paxton's attempt to subvert the Constitution and the American system based on absolutely no evidence whatsoever.

It's difficult to see how the Republican Party can ever be taken seriously again. But the alarming thing is the number of Americans-  nearly half of all Republicans, according to one poll, and seven in ten, according to another- chose to regard President-elect Biden's victory as illegitimate, apparently simply because they disagree with the outcome. There is no actual evidence to suggest any such thing.

Even U.S. Atty. Gen. William Barr says that the Trump Justice Department has found no evidence to support the notion that the election was stolen. But so completely has Donald Trump subverted the notion of objective truth that nearly half the nation seems unprepared to accept any result of an election it disagrees with.

Democracy can't survive that.
