Should a President Resign If it Was Determined That He Rigged An Election?

The billionaires will try to shut me down. Your support helps!Hello friends,The topic of election integrity has always been a point of discussion. Republicans have been especially fixated on the issue since 2020. Despite no evidence of interference, they demanded recounts of the election they lost. They investigated ballots. They filed lawsuits. Finally, they attacked the Capitol.But, the election was certified and the results stood.Still, the enthusiasm with which Republicans approached this issue has revealed some vulnerabilities in the structure of our government.It’s not unreasonable to ask what should be done if it was later determined that a candidate had cheated. What happens if the evidence of that cheating wasn’t discovered until after the results had been certified and the president had been sworn in?Essentially, all am I asking is what Republicans would have wanted to happen if they’d ever produced any evidence to prove their theories regarding Joe Biden’s win?So, let’s have a talk about what we should do if a criminal ever gets inaugurated. This discussion might provide some direction as to what we should do in case we encounter a similar situation in the future.What action, Republicans, would you have liked to have seen implemented if your charges about the 2020 election were ever established as fact?The problem is that if it turns out that a president cheated, we’re still pretty much screwed. There’s no mechanism I know of that would erase all the actions taken by that president.If you elected a criminal, murderous b*****d who inflicted torment on the innocent and destroyed lives, there would be no way to repair the damage inflicted during his reign.That’s kind of the reason why we have elections in the first place. The idea is that you can’t fool the general public into giving power to an absolute, lawless monster.In theory, a reasonable population would never elect a man who was a sex offender. They’d never elect a person who spent a lot of time with the most notorious pedophile the world has ever known. The basis of our whole government rests with the idea that a career criminal should always be denied access to the levers of power. I mean, the idea is ludicrous. Why would we put an abusive person into a position where we all become one of his potential victims?The answer, of course, is that such a thing couldn’t happen. If such a vile and repugnant creature got into that position, we can likely assume that he cheated.Handing power to somebody doesn’t change their character, it reveals it. For an expectation of how somebody would behave while in office, all you have to do is look at the history of his life.Did they cheat on their marital partners many times? Did they abandon loyalists to save themselves? Do they rely on bullying and insults rather than achievement to maintain an illusion of power?If the answer is yes, then that’s what they’ll do as president.Naturally, a country that has to suffer the burden of enduring the rule of a criminal monster is going to experience a significant amount of pain. You can expect the citizens of a law abiding nation to accept the results of an election.That’s the system.It would take a unique kind of b*****d to betray that system for his own ends. Then again, that’s the kind of behavior career criminals are known for. Particularly when winning an election is their last hope of avoiding a lengthy jail sentence.So, again, as a purely hypothetical question, what should be done if evidence emerges that a cheater has gotten sworn in?One option would be impeachment. But that doesn’t really make things right. A victory was rightfully stolen from a more worthy candidate. Impeachment keeps the victory within the party.Perhaps a deal could be worked out where the criminal candidate could name his opponent as his vice president and then resign in exchange for the promise of a pardon?From that point, there must be major investigations to uncover all the conspirators that were involved in the initial crime.That might be the key element that people might be inclined to overlook. Even though it’s difficult to remove a president from office, even when it has been proven that president is a lying, stealing, criminal, disgusting, inept, evil dirtbag, there will still be accountability for all the people who put him there.In fact, that accountability is inevitable.Also, there will be so many co-conspirators that you can’t expect them all to remain quiet.The other thing those people should consider, is that the criminal they helped has a reputation for abandoning his accomplices in order to save himself. Bearing that in mind, the best option might be to come forward now before it gets too heavy.Get ahead of the wave before it crashes on you.Realistically speaking, how long do you think a person can escape accountability, especially if they’re clearly in the throes of cognitive decline? The weight of lying takes its toll on people, even career criminals. Even people who are apparently without conscience suffer from all the deceptions they must maintain in order to protect themselves.When you tell lies there is more to remember.They’re going to start to forget.Ocean waves break tall mountains into tiny grains of sand eventually. Time and truth always win.Little by little there will appear cracks in the armor. Friends and allies will start to turn. More evidence will appear. Documents and scandals that had been thought forgotten will reemerge.There will be a thousand slings and arrows, a billion, billion little cuts.Then the bombshell will drop, and the lying cheater will be exposed because he’s always been exposed. It’s always been clear who and what he was. The day of accountability will come for him as it comes for everyone.You can’t hide a scandal of this magnitude. If an election ever was stolen, the facts would emerge eventually.So, that brings me back to my question.What will happen then?What should we do?What should he do?What should be the consequence when it’s been proven beyond a shadow of a doubt that he cheated, he betrayed his nation, he betrayed the Constitution, he betrayed the people.I mean… it’s an interesting hypothetical question that’s worthy of discussion in case we should ever find ourselves in that scenario.
