I have life wisdom to share

I'm 63 next birthday, and I've learned some stuff.

In 2017, racist nationalist Richard Spencer was punched in the head while giving an interview, and the debate took off:

Is it OK to punch a racist? How about a Nazi? Though I can’t find them now, one meme suggested the question is a good way to decide if a first date should move forward. Simply ask the date, “Is it OK to punch a white supremacist?”

Today, the question has a cousin: Who won the 2020 presidential election? The Washington Post reports that at least 100 Republican candidates would lie and say Donald Trump. From the linked Post story:

Despite some high-profile setbacks for his candidates, notably in Georgia, Trump’s demand that fellow Republicans embrace the cause of election denialism has become a price of admission in most Republican primaries. The collection of falsehoods that committee members have described as “the big lie” is now a central driving force of the Republican Party.

I leave the punching Nazis question to others, but I think it’s perfectly legitimate to ask every candidate of every stripe: Who won the 2020 presidential election, and then proceed accordingly. If someone is going to fly in the face of reality on such a basic question, what could they possibly add to the public discourse as an elected official?
