Analysis. There has been a lot of talk of the hundred days of Joe Biden, in accordance with a symbolic inventory invented by Franklin Delano Roosevelt (President of the United States from 1933 to 1945), less than those of the Republican Party since his departure from power. Wrongly. In the space of three months, the Grand Old Party has abandoned itself to a deleterious drift.
Officially, Republicans have resigned themselves to the Democrat’s victory, seen at the ballot box and confirmed in decisive states such as Georgia and Arizona by local Republican authorities. Each time it has been requested, justice has found nothing to complain about. Including judges appointed by Donald Trump. Including the Supreme Court, the highest judicial body in the country, despite a strengthened conservative majority.
In practice, however, the double talk is permanent. If the presidential and general elections, which have often turned to the advantage of Republicans and which have never been contested, have been fair, why then are conservative states increasing restrictive laws aimed at, such as always, electorates which are the least favorable to them?
The gag of cowardice
The leaders of the Grand Old Party hide behind the argument of a shaken voter confidence that should be strengthened. But they themselves have inoculated the poison of doubt in their electorate and they continue to maintain it by refusing, for the majority of them, to admit without ambiguity or reservations an indisputable defeat.
The Republicans have not freed themselves from the gag order of cowardice that had silenced them in the face of the excesses of the former businessman’s tenure. Few dare to be outraged by the audit being carried out in the most populous county of Arizona, carried out in secrecy by a company without electoral expertise and whose official had married, during the winter, the conspiracy theory of massive fraud.
Donald Trump has succeeded in making blind adherence to invented electoral fraud the main criterion separating “good” from “bad” Republicans
Closely followed by Donald Trump, this audit has no other goal than to support his obsessions, even if it would have no legal value, at the risk of undermining the foundations of the American Republic by maintaining the idea of an illegitimate presidency of Biden. This is a replica, in addition to dangerous, of the thesis also conveyed by the former businessman who claimed that Barack Obama was not born in the United States and that he could therefore not occupy the Oval desk.
