Why Trump Shouldn’t Concede
It’s a contested election, and neither candidate has been officially declared the winner.

Like the Potemkin villages quickly erected to hide the squalor in which Russian peasants lived during the reign of Catherine the Great, a façade of legitimacy is under construction by the Fourth Estate to cover up the widespread voting irregularities and outright fraud that gave us “President-Elect Biden.†Never mind that the election was prematurely called for our erstwhile vice president by the same “news†media that steadfastly refused to report his well-documented history of racism, influence peddling, serial plagiarism, and conspicuous cognitive decline. They now expect the electorate to accept their word that Biden has won the presidency — a month before he is actually elevated to that office by the Electoral College.
Even worse, having called the election for Biden without any legal or moral authority to do so, they are now hectoring President Trump to concede. USA Today, for example, declares: “The whole world is watching, waiting for Trump to concede.†We are told that such concessions are an honored American tradition. This takes no small amount of chutzpah, considering that the media never accepted his legitimacy. Instead, they actively abetted Democrat attempts to remove him from office by dishonestly “reporting†the Russia collusion hoax and the impeachment farce. More importantly, calls for Trump’s concession are potentially dangerous. Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) explains:
This is a contested election. The media doesn’t decide who becomes President. If they did you’d never have a Republican President forever, so we’re discounting them.… The Trump team has canvassed all early voters in absentee mail-in ballots in Pennsylvania and they found over a hundred people I think were dead, but 15 people that we’ve verified to have been dead.… If Republicans don’t challenge and change the U.S. election system, there will never be another Republican president elected again. President Trump should not concede.
