How Can America Prevent Republicans From Stealing the 2024 Election & Installing a Fascist?
Nov. 11, 2020 4:06 pmBy Thom Hartmann A...Republican threats to have individual states choose electors for Donald Trump even though their citizens voted for Joe Biden are not about this election; they're about putting a fascist in the White House in 2024.
And the reason Republican elected officials across the country are letting this drag out, even though they know Trump has no chance because Biden's margin of victory is so large, is to see how far they can push this in anticipation of 2024. This is a test.

Two Things Could Be Going On With Trump's Refusal To Acknowledge the Election
Nov. 10, 2020 4:02 pmBy Thom Hartmann A...Either he's dragging this out so he can raise money to line his own pockets, or he's coordinating with the billionaire donors who largely own a number of Republican state legislatures to steal the election. Or both.
The Constitution says that individual states' legislators can award their electoral votes to whomever they choose; it just takes an act of the state's legislature, in most states signed by the governor. It's never happened, but it is constitutional.
Meanwhile, election law and practical reality say that Trump can only continue to raise money from his donors if the election is still "live": so long as he doesn't concede.

What Does a Biden Presidency Mean to America?
Nov. 9, 2020 4:01 pmBy Thom Hartmann A...We're coming out of one of the darkest times in American history, certainly the darkest time in the memory of most living Americans.
Fear and hate have been the dominant national emotions during the last two Republican presidencies. They were used to lie us into a war in Iraq, and to tear us apart from each other for the last four years.
Joe Biden becoming president means that we can focus on making life better for American citizens, rather than trying to demonize each other.

Even Losing Will be a Business Opportunity for Trump
Nov. 5, 2020 4:01 pmBy Thom Hartmann A...When Donald Trump first decided to run for president, he confided to friends that his real goal was to get publicity for his brand and squeeze a larger payment out of NBC for his TV show. He even bragged that he'd be the first person to make money running for the White House.
Once he unexpectedly won, he turned that into a business opportunity, redirecting over $100 million of government money into his own properties and businesses.
Now, with the possibility of losing the presidency, he's setting up his Plan B, his next business opportunity.

Democrats Have to Get Smart About Media and Messaging
Nov. 4, 2020 3:36 pmBy Thom Hartmann A...There's a reason this election is this close. The old saying is, "Own the media, own the country," and this election proves it true.
Democrats have been totally stupid when it comes to the information wars. While Republicans built an enormous national "talk to people all day, every day, all year" media infrastructure, Democrats only pour money into advertising once every four years.
