Excellent, must-read analysis from @ThePlumLineGS in line w @lilithsaintcrow: 'The movement that has formed around the lie the election was fraudulent imposes on itself no binding obligation of any kind to recognize the reality of what actually happened.' https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2021/01/07/conor-lamb-house-affirmation-vote-sedition/
'No matter how hard the countless ordinary men and women of all political persuasions running our elections worked in good faith to ensure its fairness and legitimacy, it was inevitably never going to be deemed enough.' @theplumlineGS @washingtonpost https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2021/01/07/conor-lamb-house-affirmation-vote-sedition/
'The lies this movement tells about the election aren’t meant as real arguments. They are that bubble, the outer rhetorical fortress inside which the movement’s genuine convictions sit protected and undisturbed.' @ThePlumLineGS @washingtonpost https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2021/01/07/conor-lamb-house-affirmation-vote-sedition/
'Those convictions are: The election should be overturned because Trump and his coalition are supposed to have won and supposed to remain in power, because their voters are entitled to legitimate political representation and the opposition’s are not.' https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2021/01/07/conor-lamb-house-affirmation-vote-sedition/
'That’s an important statement that this movement is unpersuadable precisely because it is operating in impenetrable bad faith. And it will continue to do so.' @theplumlineGS @washingtonpost https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2021/01/07/conor-lamb-house-affirmation-vote-sedition/
