Berton believes in miracles

Spec editor Paul Berton wants us to believe in miracles.  He will attack you if you don’t believe in his.  The thing about miracles is that, being unnatural, they invite skepticism.

For example, Berton wants us to believe that Joe Biden got 16 million more votes in 2020 than Hilary Clinton did in 2016 and Barack Obama did in 2012.  He wants us to believe that Joe Biden got 2.3 million more votes in California in 2020 than Hilary Clinton did in 2016 and 3.2 million more than Barack Obama did in 2012, a state that has been bleeding population for three decades.  At the same time Donald Trump got 11.2 million more votes in 2020 than he got in 2016, and got 1.7 million more votes in California in 2020 than in 2016.  Joe Biden inspired 16 million more progressives and Democrats to vote for him than for the first Black and first Woman for president, and no one is allowed to wonder if chicanery weren’t at play here?  This is the same Joe Biden that couldn’t attract campaign workers to his rallies, often held in car lots, and spent most of the campaign hiding, masked, in his basement.  Meanwhile. Trump rallies ran 30,000+, topping out at 57,000 in Pennsylvania near the end.

Berton wants us to believe that stratospheric turnout for Biden in the Black ghettos of Philadelphia, Detroit, and Atlanta, counted after 3:00 a.m. election night in the absence of poll watchers, turned the tide in three battleground states, and no one is allowed to wonder what the hell happened?  Never mind the illegal and unconstitutional mail-in balloting in many states, the vote harvesting practices, nor the $300 million spent by Mark Zuckerberg on election workers to win Wisconsin for Biden.

Berton calls this believing “without evidence” a threat to democracy.  And he wonders at eroding trust in the media!
