It’s time to face facts about the election

The Earth isn’t flat. The sun doesn’t revolve around the Earth. We aren’t direct descendants from monkeys. We did land men on the moon in 1969.

The average U.S. mortality rate for the flu is 0.1%. COVID-19 isn’t a hoax. Thanks to the examples of the president and his lawyers, we know that it’s highly contagious.

With a current mortality rate of 1.9%, there are now over 290,000 Americans dead from COVID19. Unlike the flu, we currently don’t know all the long-term effects of COVID-19. Preliminary indications show several potential effects such as cognitive fog and hearing loss.

Donald Trump has lied over 20,000 times during his presidency including saying the recent election was rigged (but apparently only against him).

His campaign and supporters have lost over 50 cases that have tried to change the election outcome, mainly because of an admitted lack of evidence that shows fraud or vote manipulation. Even Trump’s precious Supreme Court declined to hear the recent case from Pennsylvania.

Despite what some might say, all of the above are true.

Time to accept the facts, lose the conspiracy theories, act like Americans and move on.
