That little fella Rachel Maddow on MSNBC is all worked up over a rigged election conspiracy theory. Four years of telling us that this behavior is unAmerican and a threat to democracy and now just two days after losing the presidency, she's doing the exact same thing.

I mean, there's got to be a limit to the depth and breadth of these double standards, isn't there?

In fairness, Trump's words *were* both anomalous and inexplicable
(...unless, of course, you've got some precedent or explanation).

Kind of like comparing a puddle to an ocean.

They only have one standard and they stick to it religiously: the ends justify the means.

I'm amazed at Maddow's leap of "logic". There are much more reasonable interpretations of Trump's remarks than the one she came up with:
1. Via super-secret private polling or other such methods, the Trump
campaign is certain it is going to get enough votes that it is going to
win without an appeal for supporters to come out in the last days being necessary.
2. By analysis of the advance polls, i.e. ballots already cast, they
know they've already won.
3. The campaign has manufactured enough counterfeit ballots in enough
places to be sure that Trump will win.
Obviously, the first two of those are perfectly legal and the third is
very much the opposite. But Maddow discards ALL of those more reasonable possibilities to imply that Trump is going to seize power in a coup or something of that kind!
Is she so clueless that she thinks someone can just snap their fingers
and then a coup happens, without any preparation, like unusual troop movements, unlocking armouries, etc. etc.?

How does #3 not fit her amorphous allegation?

Umm, that sounds rather like Jan. 6, doesn't it?

Neither is it for justifying an inexplicable like Trump's statement.
E.g., even under absurdities like you're fabricating, there's no
rational reason for him to say what he did. So, if anything, "Occam's razor" says maybe we shouldn't assume rationality...

a better fit for the allegations than what she proposed. Apparently you agree.
What is absurd about any of the three alternatives I suggested? You've already tacitly agreed that #3 is plausible! I'd say any one of them isIs she so clueless that she thinks someone can just snap their
