Greetings! It’s not just the right peddling conspiracy theories. According to The New Republic, a wave of doubt about the election results is appearing in some corners of the left.  “Much of the objection appears to have to do with what Harris supporters perceived as less voter turnout…The next four years may go by very slowly if Harris supporters spend it contesting election results like many right-wingers did after Trump’s loss in 2020.” The UK-based The Telegraph posted an article in a similar vein observing that “left-wing conspiracy theorists claim Elon Musk used satellites to ‘steal’ the U.S. election”…Vile right wing statement  of the week (and it’s only Tuesday) via  RedState: “All it took was the election of Donald Trump for women to stop one of the most coveted and upheld activities of the feminist left…being a slut.” Here’s the article…In the aftermath of Trump’s victory, dozens of TheRighting’s readers dropped their free subscriptions.  I call them news deserters and not in a pejorative way. Many said they were tuning out all news media.  Turns out, MSNBC is also experiencing a news deserters plague. Mediaite notes the liberal news network’s ratings “cratered” late last week.…Not everybody is tuning out.  One reader of TheRighting says he’s staying with me on the frontlines. Steve Stroh wrote last week expressing joy because reading TheRighting’s “well-researched, well-edited, human-curated info in TEXT feels like a superpower these days.” PS: If anyone else wants a letter published please write to me at Howard@therighting.com.  I will consider all submissions….Meanwhile, if you keep reading, I’ll keep Righting.
