Is the same reason why the MSM does not cover the election fraud story, and why the New York Times won't write about it:
"Go to any elite university and you are usually speaking to very disciplined people, people who have been selected for obedience. And that makes sense. If you've resisted the temptation to tell the teacher, "You're an asshole," which maybe he or she is, and if you don't say, "That's idiotic," when you get a stupid assignment, you will gradually pass through the required filters. You will end up at a good college and eventually with a good job." -Noam Chomsky
The United States Senate is the most elite club on the planet. Democrat or Republican, neocon or neo-liberal, these are very cautious, career-oriented individuals who have been rigorously selected for obedience to the official story.
No, Virginia, no Senator will stand up on January 6. America will continue its decline. You can call it cowardice, but that is not really what it is. It is a systemic problem. These Senators do not know how to behave any other way.
This is the reason an intelligent guy like Al Franken cannot consider the idea that the election was stolen as a real possibility, no matter the evidence. If he could, he would never have been admitted to Harvard.
I realized early on, as BushCo must have realized as well, that the scale and cravenness of this election crime was too horrible and shocking and sleazy to fit into the accepted narrative of America as a Decent and Benevolent Democracy(TM).
This scandal is far too outrageous for America to confront, so it must be ignored. America must pretend the Republicans are not this evil. To do otherwise would invite too many uncomfortable questions about other lies we've been told. Watergate was small enough, and isolated enough to pursue without disturbing the central myth of the essentially benign nature of our government.
People who hammer away at the exit polls and such are wasting their time. It has been clear since the evening of November 2 what had happened, beyond any doubt. Notice how the assumption was made automatically, however, that the exit polls were wrong. This was done because the other, and in fact far more likely possibility of fraudulent vote tabulation, was an unacceptable thought to cross the mind of a talking head on a major network or the desk of an editor at a major newspaper. America is Good(TM), therefore nothing like this can happen.
America, unfortunately, is not always Good.
