He won a free, fair and legal process. It was certified by the Electoral College. There is no evidence to suggest anything approaching vote fraud on a scale suggested by the former Liar in Chief.<\/p>\n<p>However, it became abundantly clear to me months ago that there is no persuading the cultists who follow that nitwit of the folly of their desire to overturn what has been called &#8220;the most secure election in U.S. history.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>And it is folly to the <em>nth degree.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n<p>The cultists have swilled so much of the Kool-Aid offered by their disgraced leader that there is no turning back. Just as the former Imbecile in Chief has demonstrated, the cultists are incapable &#8212; or unwilling &#8212; to acknowledge they are wrong.<\/p>\n<p>They call themselves &#8220;patriots.&#8221; They are <em>traitors<\/em> to the Constitution. To the government they purport to love.
