Opinion: What Trump is doing should worry us all

CNN  

Editor’s Note: David Gergen has been a White House adviser to four presidents of both parties and is a senior political analyst at CNN. CNN — In the weeks since the general election, President Donald Trump and his team have failed to successfully challenge the final results in our courts of law. However, in the court of public opinion, they have made startling progress — progress that could threaten President-elect Joe Biden’s capacity to govern and even our democracy itself. According to their findings, “all said they believed the election was rigged or in some way illegitimate… Most repeated debunked conspiracy theories…” Strikingly, some said they were now boycotting Fox News and switching over to emerging right-wing media like Newsmax and One American News Network, both of which have been propping up Trump’s baseless claims of voter fraud. As the Reuters reporters wrote, the widespread rejection of the election results among Republicans “reflects a new and dangerous dynamic in American politics.” We should always remember that while over 79 million Americans voted for Biden, more than 73 million Americans voted for Trump.
