The ultra-conservative Heritage Foundation “wants you to join the fight for free and fair elections by completing our National Survey on Election Fraud.”
Personally, I’m unconcerned, and for a great number of reasons:
• 60+ courts investing the 2020 election found no evidence of significant voter fraud.
• Fox News publicly apologized for lying to its viewers for spreading the Big Lie.
• In an email to his chief of staff Mark Meadows, Trump acknowledged that he lost the election.
• Two different grand juries were presented sufficient evidence to indict Trump for attempting to overturn the results of a free and fair election.
Earlier today, I was sitting near two women whose conversation went like this:
Woman #1: I’m so happy to hear that President Trump will be relocating the Palestinians from Gaza, enabling him to give that land to Israel and establish what he calls the “Riviera of the Middle East” along the eastern shore of the Mediterranean.
Woman #2: Are the Palestinians unhappy in their home?
I’m thinking: Well, I haven’t interviewed any of them personally, but they have been living there since the Bronze Age, about 5000 years ago.
Re: the meme here, I wonder what the people living in the happiest nations on Earth would say.
From the 2026 World Happiness Ranking, here are the top 6:
- Finland (7.76)
- Iceland (7.54)
- Denmark (7.54)
- Costa Rica (7.44)
- Sweden (7.26)
- Norway (7.24)
Notice anything?
They are all social democracies. Their average citizens pay slightly higher taxes, but a) they receive free education and healthcare, and b) there is virtually no poverty.
Providing the conditions under which the poor can become affluent is, of course, a good thing. Quality education and free daycare is a good start.
But making rich people richer with tax breaks for billionaires has been a proven failure.
Looks Like Trickle-Down Economics Is Still Alive in the Minds of Conservatives
