Stopping the Steal

The amazing effort Dan Reed put into this project is surpassed only by his brilliant result. It's the trial America has been needing. A verdict is soon to be rendered and this film will most certainly ensure a better outcome. Stopping the Steal was so engaging it was easy to lose sight of one's own perceptions and convictions; although, some extra name tags would have helped my brain recall all the players. The interview with Rusty Bowers stole the show and was especially inspiring. Of course, re-living Rudy Giuliani's drippage just made me lose my snot. In the end, it wasn't about presenting evidence, it was about revealing intent. Mr. Reed did the job well. Remaining denyers will either have to step out of their echo chambers and seek a new master, or find even more emotions to persuade with, because all reason has now been exhausted.

Shines a light on the courageous people (all of which are Republicans) who 'held the line' after the 2020 election and acted with honor and integrity. Stark warning at the end, to ensure that we elect honorable people who respect the rule of law and the constitution into positions of power. Somehow a large chunk of Americans don't seem to care about that going into the next election though ... this documentary serves as a good reminder of why you should care. We need documentaries like this to ensure that the shameful conduct and actions that many took part in after the 2020 election, culminating on January 6th, are not forgotten.

How does anyone say this is a biased doc when there are no Dems, only Republican insiders that are interviewed? One really has to wonder about their critical thinking skills.

I mean really, Bill Barr is part of a conspiracy? When he has admitted that he's voting for Trump in 2024? He's straight up telling the truth here. Everyone is, except the conspiracy theorists (who believe they're telling the truth). The doc has to include the conspiracy theorists in order to show why they believe the Big Lie. So be prepared to either be frustrated (left and ind) or confused (right and ind).

I hope this doc gains traction because there are a ton of people (half the country) that need to be deprogrammed. They also need to watch the 60 Minutes segment on fake electors - it's what made me understand why this "steal" conspiracy is so insidious and egregious. It's really scary how easily they could have been successful. It behooves all of us to understand history, lest we repeat it.

Thank god for Republican officials who have a moral compass and still believe in facts. Honestly, it's nice to see, because I had lost all faith in members of the GOP.

I was hesitant to watch Stopping the Steal because I already knew how crooked the attempts to overturn the results of the election were. The likely outcome of my viewing, I thought, would only be further agitation at how many people bought the lies and took their displeasure to violent extremes. But I loved it and actually felt encouraged after watching it because A) it's very well done and B) I forgot and was partly unaware of how many heroes stepped up (Republicans, mind you) to ensure the election results were secure and ultimately honored. The makers went to the trouble of including a few Trump diehards who are still not convinced of the validity of the results, but their participation really just served as a reminder that there's still a range of opinions out there (regardless of how rational they may or may not be). People should know the names of the individuals who disregarded any sense of party allegiance in favor of allegiance to the process that makes America great--yes, already great.

Trump has had fostered hatred within our nation. By exploiting vulnerabilities in the minds of a significant portion of the population, he has convinced the more susceptible that their lack of happiness or success is a result of actions by those in the opposing party. He consistently portrays himself as a victim and consistently criticizes and intimidates anyone who opposes his quest for absolute power. Saw a great meme yesterday. Shows somebody interviewing Trump. The caption states "Let me get this straight. You got fired from your last job as a top executive? Then you refused to leave called all your friends to vandalize the workplace, and on the way out of the office took a lot of the company's confidential documents. When you got caught you refused to give many of them back. And now you're reapplying for the same position?" He talks like a child and thinks he knows everything. He's just a few of his highlights, "I know more about the military than anyone." "I know more about the economy than anyone." "I know more about health care than anyone." "I alone can fix it." He's going to to throw a tantrum when he loses again this November.
