Jones Wins:

I thought Roy Moore would win handily in a state that went 63% for Trump just last year.  I was wrong.  Apparently, it's possible to swing the election 15%, which is all that was needed, by just making endless lying reports about your opponent's sex life 40 years ago.

We know all the reports are lies because one of them confessed to forging her own yearbook entry, and the other 'recalled' a narrative full of ridiculous holes.  For instance, the idea that she snuck out of her house to meet Roy Moore by first taking a mile long hike from her home each time is absurd.  It's also absurd that she says she had this entire tryst in a ten day period between when she met him at court and when she moved from her mother's house ten days later.  And it's absurd that she talked to him on the phone 'in her room' when she had no phone in her room at the time.

Despite all these absurd 'memories' of the event, 15% of voters believed these obvious lies.  Which means that the Democratic party can, whenever it wants, flip any seat in the senate to their side.  If Alabama is willing to vote for the Democrats, who isn't?

What is to stop the press from claiming every single Republican candidate in the 2018 election molested a 14 year old girl?  They may as well just win the entire Senate now.  If it's possible in Alabama it can be done to anyone, anywhere, no matter how flimsy the claims.

This proves that democracy is a farce.  The people of Alabama were not able to make up their own minds about the policies at hand.  They were not able to make principled, logical decisions based on what's best for themselves and the country.  Instead they just reflexively voted against their own interests, and against the country's interests, because "child molestation bad!"  "taboo breaker!"  "eeeek!"

When the electorate is this stupid, gullible, mindless and shallow, the press can feed them any lies they want and they'll just vote accordingly.  It doesn't matter what they thought coming in to the election, it only matters what they're told on tv.  They'll believe anything.  They'll do anything you say.  All you have to do is play on their primitive instincts and pathetic feelings and you can get them to vote for 100% taxation, only women allowed in the military, all cub scouts must be transgender, open borders, farming is illegal, anything you want.  Doug Jones' policy platform is the polar opposite of the people of Alabama's.  And yet they voted for him anyway.  This is just mind boggling.

This vote is wrong on so many levels.  Even assuming he did it, they should have voted for Moore, because Moore would have voted Republican and that's what matters.  His vote will affect hundreds of millions of people for the better.  Any Republican should believe this.  The benefits of his vote outweigh any possible harm he did to these random kids 40 years ago.

From a Christian point of view, he did these things 40 years ago.  Ever since then he's been married to the same women all these years, living out a normal sex life and raising four kids.  Isn't there supposed to be forgiveness for past sins in the Christian religion?  Just how long are you going to hold this old news over his head?  What about redemption?

From a moral point of view, why is it even wrong to pursue relationships with teenagers?  The fact that he married and settled down proves Roy Moore was always serious.  He wasn't just a promiscuous predator, he was trying to fall in love and start a family.  There's nothing innately wrong with 14 year old girls being the recipients of that love and marriage and family life.  Historically this was the norm.  If Leigh Corfman had been lucky enough to get such a husband as Roy Moore, wouldn't she have been blessed?  What became of her life from turning Moore down?  Look at how lucky Roy Moore's real wife is now, 34 years straight of marriage with no scandals, lots of money and prestige and lots of kids and grandchildren.  Why should Roy Moore be condemned for offering that life to Leigh Corfman or any of these other girls?

According to Leigh's story, when rebuffed, he politely drove her back home and left her alone from then on.  So what exactly is the horror story here?  A nice guy offered his love to a woman, she said no, so he generously drove her home and let her be from there on.  That's the crime?

Under no circumstance, from any angle, should Roy Moore have lost this election.  And yet he did.  Because the press can just say 'child molester!', 'serial predator!', 'pedophile!,' and that's the end of the story.  There are enough knee-jerk Republicans that they will immediately go out and vote the exact opposite of their faith, logic, and long held principals just out of sheer ravening taboo enforcement.

Who are these idiots who still believe anything the mainstream media says?  I thought the mainstream media had long since been debunked by their lying coverage of Trump, and yet like zombies, risen from the grave, here they are haunting us again.  They lied again and somehow this time it worked.  Are the people of Alabama just that goddamn stupid?  The whole country dismissed the 'sex predator' predictable attacks they threw at Trump in 2016, so why did Alabama, the most Republican state in the union, swallow them whole this time around?  What happened between last year and this one?  Two Republicans with almost identical policy platforms, both accused of sex crimes, but one is voted for 63% and the other 48%?  What the fuck is wrong with you people?

Fuck democracy.  People are too stupid to even decide what is best for themselves.  They don't even know what they're doing when they vote.  They have no clue why they vote the way they do, they're just gullible dupes who will do anything other people tell them to do.  Only a benevolent dictator who controls what people read and hear so that they aren't infected with fake news and makes sure people do the right thing and believes the right things as determined by science and logic, not the gullible public opinion, can ever possibly put the country on the right footing.

Democracy completely and utterly failed today.  Its weakness now lays bare and exposed for all the world to see.  If Alabama can elect a Democratic Senator then democracy has no meaning.  Fuck democracy and fuck America and fuck Alabama.  When can we move to Vinland, appoint a dictator, and control all information that ever reaches the public from then on like effective countries do?
