Healthy democracies require diverse opinions. The facts and valid reasons unearthed in political debates can lead to superior outcomes. Unfortunately, many Republican claims simply lack any factual basis.
Was it wrong to attack the U.S. Capitol causing injury, death, property damage and threats of future violence? The Republican Party expressed three reactions: silence, dissembling and sanctions for those who condemned it. The “law and order” party refuses to accurately describe or denounce the violence initiated by former President Trump, the undeniable violence we all saw on television.
According to Forbes, 78 percent of Republicans — some whom must live in Ottawa County — think Joe Biden won unfairly. But where are their facts? Yes, there are loud accusations, but where are the facts supporting those claims? Here in Michigan, the kerfuffle over Antrim County election errors started with Donald Trump and was supported by Michigan Republicans, yet a hand count of all their ballots upheld the originally reported results. In other words, the accusations were unfounded, woven entirely of self-serving fictions, just like in Arizona.
Rudy Giuliani lost all of his 60-plus voter-fraud cases because he presented no valid supporting evidence. Now Giuliani says it wasn’t his job to validate those claims. Yet, have zero legal victories or the exoneration of Antrim County’s election results dissuaded Ottawa County Republicans from believing Trump’s voter fraud accusations, or did the preponderance of contrary evidence alter their opinions even a little? It appears not.
One can only assume Republicans are now operating fact-free. Outrageous unfounded claims are made and received as if they were biblical verses accepted on faith alone. On a whole variety of issues, Republican non-factual positions are screamed at school boards, written in death threats to election officials, and enacted in new undemocratic election laws. The Party of Lincoln? Not even close.
