 Republicans are a domestic threat to democracy. That's the drumbeat message that we've heard from the Democrat state media. Except Democrats have denied the results of every election they've lost since I started paying attention in 2000. Surprisingly, Politifact just acknowledged it as true. Er, mostly true. Of course, they have to hedge and rationalize it as somehow different when Democrats do it. In this case, they hilariously claim it was different when Democrats did it because it was largely symbolic. Even if we accept that as true, all it means is that Democrats started the escalating trend of denying election results for the purposes of theater. I can prove that it definitely was not symbolic when Democrats did it. In 2000, when the Black Caucus tried to stop the certification of votes in Florida, Democrat Jesse Jackson Jr. stated that it's a sad day in America when we can't find a senator to sign this objection. Does that sound symbolic to you? As usual, Politifact proved that its function is less fact-checking and more reality-crafting for the benefit of Democrats.
