2020 Election ? and Niel Cavuto
Subject: UNHINGED
One of the very few bad apple Communists at Fox News, Neil Cavuto today said that President Trump on January 6, 2021 “was clearly unhinged.”
I say that our real president, President Trump was no more “unhinged” with pure righteous anger than the millions of patriots in America who have fought for America against the very same kinds of Biden/Democrat types of Socialist regimes that my fellow United States soldiers and veterans have died fighting against throughout our entire American history, Vietnam included.

Dear Not So Angry Reader Ron Aragon,
I was included among your group addressees a while back, so I reply now.
Neil Cavuto is not a bad-apple communist. Rather. he is a NeverTrump Romney conservative of the sort in 2008 and 2016 most of us conservatives voted for and supported as preferrable to Barack Obama’s neo-socialist agendas—but discovered in 2016 and 2020 the formula was not reciprocated.
That is, conservatives were told to hold their noses and cast ballots for John McCain and Mitt Romney—despite their inability to appeal to or show much interest in the working middle classes.
Most of did just that. But those who made such appeals in 2008 and 2016 later did all they could, either independently or with the Left, to defeat Trump in 2016 and 2020. Note that Trump’s agenda and actual record of governance mirror-imaged their own life-long supposed commitment to conservative values, ranging from opposition to abortion and ensuring conservative judicial picks to energy development and tough on crime policies.
Molly Hemingway has written extensively about your concerns with the 2020 elections, focusing rather on questions that have not been answered: why and how were voting laws changed (by court injunctions or bureaucratic fiats) in spring 2020 to override many of the state legislatures’ constitutional prerogatives to establish balloting laws?
And how did it happened that when balloting topped an all-time high of 102 million votes in 2020 not cast on election, through early and mail-in voting, that the states’ error rates, or rate of rejected ballots, plunged?
In some states, the change was radical, from 3-4 percent averages of rejection in prior years to .3-.4 in 2020. That begs the question—when you more than double the number of 2016 non-Election-Day ballots, why does the rejection rate (improper or incomplete signatures and addresses, names not matching up-to-date voter registration lists, outright fraudulent names, non-citizens, etc.) dip?
Common sense would dictate that when registrars were flooded with millions of new early and mail-in balloting, then they would be more careful to weed out masses of illegal ballots rather than become laxer?
In addition, Mark Zuckerberg reportedly infused nearly $420 million of what the Left calls “dark money” to appropriate the duties of registrars in key counties in one-side efforts to up leftwing participation and vote counting and de facto depress conservative voters.
He has never been called before any congressional committee to explain why and how his huge sums were intended to influence the voting, although Molly Ball in a Time essay bragged on what she called an election “conspiracy” of wealthy and powerful leftists to defeat Donald Trump by absorbing government control of voting in some areas and even modulating street demonstrations so as not to embarrass candidate Biden.
