More Power to BBB. (BaBy Bright) He is clearly the gatekeeper. Perhaps the BBH, the Burning Bright Handler.

On the idea of the complacency of winning I would like to remind everyone of the 2000 election of Bush versus Gore. That is a perfect example of how we lose by winning.

That election was contested and the Supreme Court had to ultimately put a stop to the vote counting. Bush won and republicans swooned. Then, we just moved on a loved winning. But, look where we were in 2020 in that election. I would argue that we lost in 2020 because we failed to capitalize on our 2000 winning. Our complacency post 2000 was our downfall in 2020 by design.

So, what actually happened in 2000 that we failed to correct? We failed to prove beyond reasonable doubt that the Democrats cheated using the Votomatic machines in Florida. Instead of showing how they attempted to steal that election, Republicans just sold out and became complicit in burying the truth. I have never figured out why they decided to ignore the truth.

One of the inventors of the Votomatic system went onto FOX Business and explained how pregnant chads were proof of voter fraud. The design of the system was such that perforated chads and pregnant chads were only produced when cheaters tried to put multiple ballots through at the same time. Actually it was not the Votomatic design that proved fraud, it was the design of the punch card. The stylus would cleanly punch out a chad if one ballot was placed into the Votomatic. But two or more ballots created defects.

So, two days into the recounts I saw the truth. But the recounts continued and I never heard from the IBM engineer again. Somehow the folks in Florida kept looking at perforated chads and pregnant chads and argued over the intent of the voter. Republicans, for some reason, never brought the Votomatic expert out to blow the whole conspiracy wide open.

The solution was to kill the Votomatic and spend billions on computer based tabulating machines with complex programming the average person cannot comprehend. Can we see where that got us? Simplicity and a “Foolproof” system was trashed for a super complex, very expensive, cheatable system was substituted. But we never really solved the underlying problem. We never exposed the cheaters!

The solution was bigger, more expensive, more complex government. Democrats loved the solution because the were left to cheat again and Republicans loved having Democrats to argue with on television. Who would they point fingers at if the opposition was exposed as liars and cheaters?

Let’s not allow this to happen again. We know they cheated on 2020 and in 2022. But we have never proved it! WHY?

This shit drives me crazy! Let’s solve the damned problem once and for all. Trying to make “nice” with cheaters is a fool’s game. Let’s kick their butts out by just calling them out. 2000 was 25 damned years ago and things have just gotten worse, not better. I am too old to just keep watching my country commit suicide in slow motion. But, what can I do except keep writing here?
