Capitol, domestic political violence is on the rise. In addition to the violent insurrection on the U.S. What does that mean for the results of future elections? Many are in good positions to win because a majority of Republicans believe that the 2020 presidential election was stolen. Many election deniers are seeking key offices in states that often determine the outcome of close presidential elections. More voter suppression laws have been adopted in many states, and the efforts to make it more difficult for legal citizens to participate in our democracy continue. Look at some of the other detrimental things that have happened since the weaponization of the stolen 2020 election lie.
How can such irresponsible behavior from those in public leadership positions be acceptable? Where is the respect and support for law enforcement agencies and those responsible for upholding the very laws that protect us?Īs a nation that supposedly value the rule of law, are we increasingly becoming more tolerant of lawlessness? Other law enforcement officers, e.g., judges, are also put at risk. Such recklessness has been clarion calls to those who are willing to pick up guns and bombs and try to harm FBI agents. We have grave reasons to be very concerned with the increasing irrational behavior from some of our elected officials with the loudest bullhorns.ĭid you ever think you would hear Congressional leaders calling to defund the FBI or impeach the Attorney General as they carried out their authorized duties in accordance with the rule of law? What good can be expected when politicians choose lies over truth to the detriment of the Republic? Many aspiring candidates seeking different state and federal offices are using a combination of these tactics to get elected. That unrest and mistrust have become weaponized with those baseless claims, conspiracy theories and lies. Capitol was as a result of the Big Lie, more and more it appears it was just the tip of deeper political unrest and festering mistrust of the current governmental system. This multi-faceted and dangerous trend has taken root and escalated with the perpetuation of the Big Lie that the 2020 presidential election was fraudulent.Īs bad as the Jan. Spewing lies, distortions, conspiracy theories and baseless claims is becoming the norm for many who are seeking to lead us, and they are attracting large contingents of supporters.
However, today, too many politicians are taking it to a new level. There is also a school of thought that withholding or modifying the truth, given a particular circumstance, might be the better option or the most expedient thing to do. There is a common belief that all politicians lie to some extent.
