The Other Big Lie : Democrats Fuel Doubts Over the Legitimacy of the Coming Elections JONATHAN TURLEY
The fact is that democracy is protected by our courts and by a host of laws protecting the right to vote and banning discrimination against minority voters. What is daunting is that this Democratic Big Lie is being promulgated by the president on the basis of fighting Trump s Big Lie. It is like condemning Bigfoot sightings as the basis for creating a federal Bigfoot bureau.
The Democrats Big Lie may not be convincing the public, but it is clearly convincing the most extreme parts of their party. Lies can give license to those who are predisposed to violence on both sides, from Antifa to the Proud Boys. We have enough lies going into 2024. What we need is leadership.
Jonathan Turley. He’s very good, I think. Sort of an earnest optimist, but that’s far better than most.
