Some election deniers are really dumb. For example, this one. Elmer Stewart Rhodes isn’t one of them. A former congressional staffer (for Rep. Ron Paul) and a Yale Law School graduate, he’s a very smart guy who possesses the intellect to easily grasp abstract concepts like those I discus[...]
“We must refuse to accept it”
That’s what Oath Keepers leader Stewart Rhodes (photo, left) told his followers after Biden won the 2020 election. I don’t care whether he accepts it or not. He doesn’t decide who governs us. He gets one vote like the rest of us. He doesn’t have to like the election results; [...]
