Truly masterful insights, Isaac. I know of no one else who is doing this, certainly not so well. Again I applaud your copy editors. And I welcome your partnership with Ground News, to which I subscribed weeks ago. You report, citing Axios, that [only] 58% of Americans believe Biden won legitimately. Is this perception not more important than whether election fraud actually occurred? The GA vote was incredibly close; and, in fact, so was the Trump-Biden popular vote. Can we just ignore the nearly half of Georgians who voted Republican? The nearly half of Americans - including some Democrats - who are not convinced that Biden won fairly? The half of us whose voice would be silenced by FaceBook and Twitter, just as they silenced our President's voice? Tocqueville called that "tyranny of the majority." It is the main glaring weakness of democracy, particularly when the majority is a mere 51%.
I definitely don't think it could be ignored -- and I think the solution is not censorship, but engaging, deconstructing and combatting those alternate realities that are based on lies. That's what I'm trying to do.
I support you in that effort, Ike, even though we do not always agree on what is reality and what are lies. Maybe, especially when we do not agree. It is from the mash of discourse among people like us that truth will be distilled.
