Do We Stand by Reality or Wishful Thinking: Trump's Unsuccessful Attempt at a Partial Vote Recount in Wisconsin

In recent weeks, there has been an increasing debate around the legitimacy of the 2020 U.S. election and the role of Donald Trump in challenging its results. After weeks of insisting on the absence of any kind of electoral fraud, Trump has now commissioned a partial recount in Wisconsin at a cost of $3 million. This move has sparked a wave of reactions, from those who see it as a necessary step to verify the integrity of the vote to those who view it as a desperate, potentially harmful, attempt at undermining democratic processes.

Accepting the Truth

As the judge in Pennsylvania stated, 'Saying the election is unfair doesn’t make it so.' This declaration serves as a stark reminder to those who refuse to accept the results of the 2020 election. It is not merely about believing in a particular outcome; it is about acknowledging the supported, official results of a democratic process. The idea that people can abandon reality and act on wishful thinking carries significant risks, both for individuals and for the broader context of a functioning democracy.

Charges of Sedition and Treason

There is a growing concern that Donald Trump's repeated attempts to overturn the election results could be more than just a political strategy. Some prominent voices in American society are calling for a serious consideration of charges of sedition and even treason against Trump. This suggestion arises from the deep-seated belief that Trump's actions and rhetoric are actively working towards the destruction of the U.S. democratic process and the country itself. It is alarming that Putin and Russia have found common ground with Trump, as evidenced by their actions and interest in the election.

Costly and Frustrating

The partial recount in Wisconsin has added more votes to Joe Biden's total, a result that many believe validates the initial counts. This outcome was far from the desired results for Trump supporters, who were hoping to see a different result emerged. However, the reality is that Trump had to pay a fortune, $3 million, to prove he lost by an even bigger margin. It is a bitter pill to swallow, especially given Trump's notorious habit of not paying bills. The attempts to undermine the basic democratic processes through costly and fruitless recounts are not only frustrating but also detrimental to the country's stability.

The Kraken Rises

In a move that has caught many by surprise, Sydney Powell's recent declaration and the subsequent threats to release Kanye West and the Kardashians have added another layer of complexity to the situation. Powell's filing, which included the 'invocation' of the Kraken, could be seen as a form of political theatrics, aimed at further exacerbating divisions and calling into question the integrity of the legal system.

Conclusion

As the dust settles on the latest developments, it is crucial to reflect on the importance of adhering to the results of the election and supporting the democratic process. Trump's attempts to disenfranchise the minority vote in Wisconsin, as well as his threats and tactics, are not only costly and frustrating but also potentially harmful to the integrity of the democratic system. The calls for sedition and treason charges against Trump reflect a deep concern about the actions and rhetoric that may jeopardize the future of America's democracy. It is essential to stand by reality, not wishful thinking.
