Critically Thinking about the 2022 U.S. Election Results

What did we learn and what needs to be done to fix this?

It will take awhile to have the smoke settle following the 2022 US elections, but a few things are appearing out of the fog already…

Once again, there are many election results that simply defy logic — especially considering the dire direction our country is going in. Some possible explanations are:

a) there has been election malfeasance,

b) Conservatives are poor at messaging,

c) Conservatives are doing an inadequate job of working together, and/or

d) too many citizens are making emotional rather than logical choices.

There is absolutely no way to ascertain the legitimacy of any election (“a” above), without selective post-election forensic audits. That these have not yet been implemented in any state makes no sense, and is simply unfathomable.

Regarding “b thru d” here are two results from a current American poll that indicate a serious disconnect between what the public believes, and scientific reality:

1 – 62%± believe that climate change is of high concern.

The climate matter has been wildly exaggerated. Why? Because those who would like to take more control over our lives know that fear works (think COVID). If you want to read an easy-to-understand summary of the climate Science, then checkout this report. If after that you want more, then go here.

2 – 54%± believe that US energy policy should be expanding wind and solar use.

This is a key finding, as there is ZERO scientific basis to support such an opinion. None. Nada. Wind and solar are not only very uneconomical, they are inherently unreliable — and reliable electricity is the foundation of our modern society.

BUT, you may say, what about those (e.g., see #1) who buy AOC’s (a former bartender) assertion that the world will now come to an end in 9± years unless we take immediate, drastic measures to stop manmade CO2 production! Don’t we need to do a lot of wind and solar to do that? NO!

There is ZERO scientific proof that wind or solar make any consequential difference regarding reducing CO2. See here and here. AOC disciples should OPPOSE wind and solar as they are an illusion, propagated by well-paid lobbyists. The best source of electricity that will achieve their ends, is nuclear.

The bottom line is that this 54% is a telling indication of how easy it is to trick many good people to buy unscientific nonsense, simply with marketing and PR.

Here are some other disturbing (and several contradictory) poll findings indicating that of US citizens:

25%± relate to no religion

60%+ rarely attend religious services

60%± expect American life to be worse in the future

75%± are dissatisfied or angry about how federal government works

55%± want the federal government to be more involved with solving issues

65%± want health care to be the responsibility of the federal government

43%± believe that president Biden is doing a good job

42%± believe that Biden has the mental capacity to serve effectively as president

42%± believe that K-8 schools are teaching too little about racism

47%± trust that the media is reporting news fully, accurately and fairly

86%± believe that the future of US Democracy is an important consideration

73%± believe that votes will be counted accurately [Note that counting votes accurately is VERY different from whether all votes are legitimate, etc.]

There are several takeaways from all this, but IMO this shows how easily non-critically thinking citizens can be deceived. One of the good outcomes to the 2020 elections, was that a lot more right-leaning groups started to pay attention to the election process. Hopefully this week’s result will cause an additional spike of interest and actions. My team is ready to do a new Pennsylvania Report (here was our first),

One way or another election integrity needs to be genuinely fixed, or AOC will turn out to be right — all will be lost very soon!
