<p>It&#8217;s been a constant as far back as most of us can remember that Democrats have been playing fast and loose with their variation of the sociopathic mental disorder known as <a href="https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/basics/projection" target="_blank" rel="noopener">projection</a>: disparaging others for doing what they knowingly do themselves.</p>
<p>Today&#8217;s Democrat Party and their media depend on the cultivated ignorance of their voters to portray Republicans as extremists for daring to look into numerous, blatant irregularities in the 2020 election while demanding the American people accept Democrat victories as legit and final simply because they say so. No denial is tolerated when the Democrat wins.</p>

<p>Republicans can count and that&#8217;s what they&#8217;re afraid of.</p>

<p>Impeachment is only one topic where the genius of the Founders are dashed when not in line with a Democrat agenda. The wisdom of the Electoral College, for example, was the perfect system to liberals when Bill Clinton lost the popular vote in 1992 but won the presidency based on the established Electoral College process. When liberals win, the Electoral College was perfectly crafted and implemented.</p>

When they can&#8217;t rely on the American people to do what they want, they find end-arounds and base their actions on what they say the Founders foresaw and defended against.</p>
<p>The Founding Fathers came from all professions of the day. They weren&#8217;t professional politicians and may or may not have not been able to predict and prepare for the swamp we have today, but when Democrats praise or hate on the Founders, you can be sure it&#8217;s because of something they want; not what&#8217;s necessarily best for the country.</p>
