Senator JD Vance from Ohio recently endorsed a new take on the Big Lie, saying Donald Trump didn't lose the 2020 election. Unlike Trump's vague claims, Vance blamed Big Tech for rigging the election by not promoting right-wing stories like the Hunter Biden laptop. This might seem smarter, but it's still a lie. Vance thinks only he and his group are the real Americans, and democracy shouldn't get in their way. He believes lying is fine if it helps his cause. This is a dangerous idea because it rejects democracy and promotes a kind of fascism where only certain people have power.
Social media companies have the right to decide what’s posted on their platforms. In a real democracy, people need reliable information to make good decisions. Vance's lies aren't just about Trump; they're part of a bigger plan to turn the MAGA movement into a fascist one that outlives Trump. This is more than just politics; it's a threat to democracy itself. Vance didn't always think like this. He used to believe in American freedom and self-government, like many Republicans. But now, he believes in a blood-and-soil nationalism where only certain people are real Americans. He even said that democracy should step aside when it conflicts with his vision of a white ethnostate. This is a scary shift that goes against what America stands for.
