A recording has surfaced of Donald Trump telling the Secretary of State covering Georgia to ‘find’ 11,780 votes because Trump believes he ‘won’ the State in the November 2020 Election:

Trump seems to be echoing the (ironic) view of Bertolt Brecht whose lines after the 1953 Uprising in the old East Germany suggested that if people did not support the right Government it was time to elect a new people
After the uprising of the 17th June
The Secretary of the Writers Union
Had leaflets distributed in the Stalinallee
Stating that the people
Had forfeited the confidence of the government
And could win it back only
By redoubled efforts. Would it not be easier
In that case for the government
To dissolve the people
And elect another?
Bertolt Brecht
