Among the reasons for the Democrats’ optimism are the legislative victories they have enjoyed, passing bills on infrastructure, economic relief, healthcare, tax reform, climate change, gun safety, and more. President Biden is also presiding over lowering gas prices and easing inflation.<\/p>\n

What’s more, the House committee investigating the January 6th insurrection is having a profound impact on Donald Trump’s already toxic reputation. For his part, Trump isn’t helping himself by having stolen sensitive national security materials from the White House and hiding them at his Mar-a-Lago bunker.<\/p>\n

Consequently, Republicans need to fortify their electoral flank by poisoning the political environment with fallacious allegations of fraud before a single vote has been cast. And naturally, the GOP’s Ministry of Disinformation, Fox News, is taking the lead.<\/p>\n

On Friday’s episode of Tucker Carlson’s program he had a segment<\/a><\/strong> on the United States Postal Service, which he characterized as engaging in a nefarious plot of some sort. He warned that…<\/p>\n

“The Postal Service is now actually taking an active and explicit role in our elections, but not on behalf of Trump. They have created a dedicated division to ‘handle election mail’ ahead of the 2020 [sic]<\/em> midterms.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

OMG! The mail meanies are scheming to “handle election mail,”<\/em> and worst of all, it is “not on behalf of Trump!”<\/em> Even more alarming is that they are traveling back in time to meddle with the 2020 election. Carlson went on to foment more fear, asking…<\/p>\n

“Why is there any mail-in balloting? If you can’t be bothered to get to the polls, why do you have a right to participate in democracy? I don’t understand. It’s just an invitation to fraud. they support it because it allows fraud. Why are Republicans putting up with this?”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Tucker Carlson is against democracy plain and simple:<\/p>\n
