Historian Victor Davis Hanson is always eloquent, and his
column here at American Greatness provides a handy history of the Progressives' efforts to de-legitimize candidate Donald Trump, President-Elect Donald Trump,
and President Donald Trump. Hanson starts off:
Right after the 2016 election,
Green Party candidate Jill Stein—cheered on by Hillary Clinton dead-enders—sued
in three states to recount votes and thereby overturn Donald Trump’s victory in
the Electoral College. Before the quixotic effort imploded, Stein was praised
as an iconic progressive social justice warrior who might stop the hated Trump
from even entering the White House.
When that did not work, B-list
Hollywood celebrities mobilized, with television and radio commercials, to
shame electors in Trump-won states into not voting for the
president-elect during the official Electoral College balloting in December
2016. Their idea was that select morally superior electors should reject their
constitutional directives and throw the election into the House of
Representatives where even more morally superior NeverTrump Republicans might
join with even much more morally superior Democrats to find the perfect morally
superior NeverTrump alternative.
Hanson recites all the failed efforts -- “When that did not work” -- to rid this country of its
duly-elected President. The full article is here; it’s a good one to save for future reference.
