Oh Mark LOL, Donald Trump and his attorneys have tried to take all types of fraud case to court 64 times and every single one of them was dismissed for lack of evidence, standing, or basis. Many of the judges that made this determination. were appointed by Donald Trump himself.
After every election, every state’s attorney’s general is required to turn in a mandatory report regarding any significant voter fraud in their States attached to their vote certifications. When the certifications were turned in to the electoral college there was not one such report from any state’s attorneys general including Arizona, Georgia, Wisconsin, and Pennsylvania.
The Department of Homeland Security electoral division under the trump administration stated that this was one of the most secure elections in our history.
Bill Barr, Donald Trump’s own Attorney General stated that the Department of Justice did a thorough investigation and they found no evidence whatsoever of any widespread voter fraud, systematic failure, rigging, anomalies, or irregularities which would have changed the outcome of the election.
When Donald’s attorneys tried to take cases of fraud to the United States Supreme Court they were turned down unanimously and that includes the justices that he put on the bench. They stated that as there was no evidentary evidence that arose from the lower court’s, the appeals court’s, state’s attorneys general reports, recounts, the Department of Homeland Security, and the Department of Justice they saw no need to take any of these cases because there was no evidentary evidence, standing, or basis to even claim fraud.
Politifact is considered one of the three respected fact checkers in the country. Every media bias checker finds they are neutral, factual content exceedingly high due the proper in depth sourcing, it’s the one that won a Pulitzer Prize for truth and accuracy, and the one used by the most professionals.

Oh Mark — How to spot a cult. Ten warning signs of a potentially unsafe group/leader.
1-Absolute authoritarianism without
meaningful accountability.
2-No tolerance for questions or critical inquiry.
3-No meaningful financial disclosure regarding budget, expenses such as an independently audited financial statement.
4-Unreasonable fear about the outside world, such as impending catastrophe, evil conspiracies and persecutions.
5-There is no legitimate reason to leave, former followers are always wrong in leaving, negative or even evil.
6-Former members often relate the same stories of abuse and reflect a similar pattern of grievances.
7-There are records, books, news articles, or television programs that document the abuses of the group/leader.
8-Followers feel they can never be “good enough”.
9-The group/leader is always right.
10-The group/leader is the exclusive means of knowing “truth” or receiving validation, no other process of discovery is really acceptable or credible.
Ten warning signs regarding people involved in/with a potentially unsafe group/leader.
1-Extreme obsessiveness regarding the group/leader resulting in the exclusion of almost every practical consideration.
2-Individual identity, the group, the leader and/or God as distinct and separate categories of existence become increasingly blurred. Instead, in the follower’s mind these identities become substantially and increasingly fused-as that person’s involvement with the group/leader continues and deepens.
3-Whenever the group/leader is criticized or questioned it is characterized as “persecution”.
4-Uncharacteristically stilted and seemingly programmed conversation and mannerisms, cloning of the group/leader in personal behavior.
5-Dependency upon the group/leader for problem solving, solutions, and definitions without meaningful reflective thought. A seeming inability to think independently or analyze situations without group/leader involvement.
6-Hyperactivity centered on the group/leader agenda, which seems to supercede any personal goals or individual interests.
7-A dramatic loss of spontaneity and sense of humor.
8-Increasing isolation from family and old friends unless they demonstrate an interest in the group/leader.
9-Anything the group/leader does can be justified no matter how harsh or harmful.
10-Former followers are at best considered negative or worse evil and under bad influences. They can not be trusted and personal contact is avoided.
Ten signs of a safe group/leader.
1-A safe group/leader will answer your questions without becoming judgmental and punitive.
2-A safe group/leader will disclose information such as finances and often offer an independently audited financial statement regarding budget and expenses. Safe groups and leaders will tell you more than you want to know.
3-A safe group/leader is often democratic, sharing decision making and encouraging accountability and oversight.
4-A safe group/leader may have disgruntled former followers, but will not vilify, excommunicate and forbid others from associating with them.
5-A safe group/leader will not have a paper trail of overwhelmingly negative records, books, articles and statements about them.
6-A safe group/leader will encourage family communication, community interaction and existing friendships and not feel threatened.
7-A safe group/leader will recognize reasonable boundaries and limitations when dealing with others.
8-A safe group/leader will encourage critical thinking, individual autonomy and feelings of self-esteem.
9-A safe group/leader will admit failings and mistakes and accept constructive criticism and advice.
10-A safe group/leader will not be the only source of knowledge and learning excluding everyone else, but value dialogue and the free exchange of ideas.
Don’t be naïve, develop a good BS Detector.
You can protect yourself from unsafe groups and leaders by developing a good BS detector. Check things out, know the facts and examine the evidence. A safe group will be patient with your decision making process. If a group or leader grows angry and anxious just because you want to make an informed and careful decision before joining; beware.
