The former guy tried to steal the last election by suppressing votes. That didn't work.

He tried to steal it by pressuring state officials to "find" thousands of non-existent votes for him. It didn't work.

He tried to steal the election by sending a crew of shyster ambulance chasers and a pillow merchant across the nation to stand in front of cameras and lie about stolen or flipped or discarded votes without offering a shred of evidence. That did not work.

He tried to steal it by coordinating forgeries by 59 Republicans in several states that produced lame bogus "cerified" slates of "electors". It didn't work.

After apparently being talked out of sending out the military to "seize the voting machines", he finally tried to steal the election---tbe presidency of the United States of America---by planning, financing and inciting a violent coup attempt by armed militias and a mob of his rabid followers. Thankfully, that did not work.

And, after all of these desperate anti-American failed attempts to override the will of the people and end the American democracy, can it really be true that millions of people claiming to be the "Party of Lincoln" are likely to select him as their candidate for the Presidency in 2024?

And, to top THAT, can it really be true that the rest of us may ALLOW the attempt to place this vulgar thug BACK into our White House?
