“Trump Lost” Billboards Come To Arizona

As I was driving up First Avenue here in Tucson today, I did a double take when I saw this:

The billboard that made headlines in when it appeared in New York City’s Times Square, has come to Arizona, home of the original (and hopefully only) #AZFraudit, courtesy of the Republicans for Voting Rights, a project of the Republican Accountability Project.

The Project has placed several of these billboards in Arizona and across the country in key states, including three in Arizona: two in Phoenix and this one in Tucson.

In addition, Maricopa Supervisor Bill Gates and Maricopa Recorder Stephen Richer (who wrote a masterly take-down of the #AZFraudit conspiracy earlier this year), both Republicans, cut an ad for RVR.gop, which you should watch and spread to your Republican friends who may still be amenable to reason, and are not yet lost to the #TrumpDeathCult:

Thank God there are still Republicans out there who still believe in our democracy and openly upholding the professionalism and honesty of our elections processes. We Americans have fought hard for generations to make our elections transparent, reliable, professionally administered with bi-partisan checks and balances, and formerly quite uncontroversial. Trump and his minions’ baseless lies and conspiracies about the 2020 and future elections are poison to our politics must be denounced by all who want to see democracy succeed and thrive in America.

These principled Republican American patriots give me hope for the future of America’s democratic experiment. If we don’t fight for our democracy together, we could certainly lose it and become just another sad, corrupt failed authoritarian state backsliding from democracy like Russia, Poland, Turkey, and Hungary, India, and others, where right-wing populists have tested, and bent or broken their democratic institutions and the rule of law to the great detriment of their citizens, but to the delight of their kleptocratic political and financial elites.

If you are inclined to amplify the message of these principled Republican patriots, you can donate to the Republican Accountability Project. This is certainly one instance in which no Democrat will ever fault you for giving money to a Republican cause. These guys are the last of the Jedis, holding out against Palpatine’s corruption of the Old Republic: they need all the help they can get.
