On the day that civil rights hero John Lewis is being laid to rest, Donald Trump is ranting incoherently on Twitter. But then why should today be any different for him? He didn’t even send a representative to pay respects at the service. The depths to which Trump’s desperation is sinking is profoundly disturbing and predictive of his dangerously devolving psychoses<\/a><\/strong>. And the worst is yet to come.<\/p>\n

\"Donald<\/p>\n

The reference to John Lewis is not tangential. He was an iconic fighter for voting rights for all Americans. But on Thursday morning Trump posted another round of tweets attacking the legitimacy of mail-in voting<\/a><\/strong>. Never mind that it has been done safely and securely for decades. Or that it is used by Trump and many in his family<\/a><\/strong> and administration, and the military. Or that his own commission on the matter found no evidence of fraud<\/a><\/strong>. Or that Trump’s Attorney General, Bill Barr, just testified this week that he has no evidence<\/a><\/strong> supporting assertions that voting by mail is susceptible to foreign interference.<\/p>\n

Despite all of that, Trump still sought to sow doubt about the election. It’s a position he’s taking due to his well-founded fear that he is going to lose bigly. And he’s working hard at it. Trump has tweeted his opposition<\/a><\/strong> to mail-in voting at least 22 times so far this year. And he is simultaneously trying to sabotage the Post Office<\/a><\/strong> in order to disrupt the election. So he tweeted that…<\/p>\n

With Universal Mail-In Voting (not Absentee Voting, which is good), 2020 will be the most INACCURATE & FRAUDULENT Election in history. It will be a great embarrassment to the USA. Delay the Election until people can properly, securely and safely vote???<\/p>\n
