Without fail, every time I log on to social media or turn on the news, there’s a journalist scolding Republicans for questioning why it’s taking so long in certain states to get ballots completely counted and results uploaded for the public to view.

“Trust the process!” they say in so many words. “Right now in states across the country, the democratic process is working. Votes are being counted. Let the system work,” (paraphrasing) is another common refrain.

They say this in spite of the fact that so much about what’s going on post-election in states like Michigan, Georgia, Pennsylvania, and North Carolina simply doesn’t make sense, especially from the perspective of voters who are owed transparency about the various processes being undertaken under the guise of protecting the integrity of the vote.

Even more concerning about what these media figures seem to be telling us is that we supposedly have no reason not to trust the process – this after four years of them trying to convince the American people that President Trump “stole” the 2016 election from failed Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton, the latter of who was the mainstream media’s preferred candidate at the time.

Earlier today, I came across a Twitter thread that I thought perfectly encapsulated all the reasons why conservatives are absolutely right to raise the roof and ask questions about what’s happening in these tight races. Democrats (and the media) have in no way earned our trust, and deserve to be questioned at every turn.

Here’s what writer Bethany Mandel had to say:

Brett Kavanaugh is a gang rapist, the President is a tool of the Russians, tried to kill a bunch of fish in a koi pond, etc etc etc. AND also we’d never commit voter fraud how dare you accuse us of such a thing.

I’m not saying there is, but you can’t pretend four years of lie after lie after lie meant to subvert the POTUS at every.single.turn will not be result with people believing you’re capable of anything when it comes to keeping a second term away from him.

Breaking the trust of the American people shamelessly and repeatedly has consequences. And it would’ve been nice for Democrats and the media to realize that in the lead up to an election that was already going to be razor thin.

Yes the President is going to fight every single close race and get his lawyers in to double check results. As he damn well should. I trust nobody. That trust was stolen. This is the result.

Four years of denying Donald Trump won the 2016 election fair and square and now these same people are demanding Republicans accept results in multiple states despite clear irregularities and funny business. Nope. That’s not how this works.

Donald Trump didn’t radicalize me. Democrats did. Reap what you sow.

Maybe when all is said and done we’ll find out there was nothing out of the ordinary or nefarious about how mail-in vote counting was conducted in close battleground states. Or maybe we will. But until then, questions must be raised before it’s too late to correct possible mistakes and/or fraud.

Like I noted earlier, the days where Republicans simply played nice with Democrats on these matters in the interest of peace and harmony and in hopes of not getting shamed and brutalized by the media into submission are over for good – whether Trump is reelected or not.
