Hoyt with a rare win

I'm not a big fan of conservative Instapunditeer and SF writer Sarah Hoyt's writing. English isn't her native tongue (she's a transplant from Portugal), and while she's competent enough if you judge her by that standard, her writing is often stilted and awkward, making her hard to read even when she's making good points. Her recent post here, though, is a decent one. I'll quote the beginning below (slightly edited but needing more editing).

Yes, I am in fact quite aware that I sound like a loon when I say that fully 25% of total counted votes are fraud. And that those are mostly on the left side. Oh, 25% is my low estimate. It could be that a full 70% of votes for Biden were fraudulent and that instead of being a closely divided nation[,] we are in fact an overwhelmingly anti-left nation held captive by a small minority that rules by fraud. Which would explain a lot of the things we see.

Yes, I know I sound like a loon because reasonable people estimate that fraud is something under 3%.

That’s fine. I’m used to reasonable people being full of shit. Mostly because reasonable people seem to expect everyone else to be reasonable, and that no one will try to shut down the world to tank an economy and win an election, say, to give a random example. Because no sane person would do that, of course. But 2020 should have shown you some people weren’t reasonable. Or sane. Or decent. Or socialized to be rational members of the human species. For some people[,] naked power is the only motivator.

Another reason I sound like a loon is that a lot of us know people who buy everything the left sells, vocally endorse everything they hear on the MSM, etc. etc.

However, I respectfully would like to note that most of us “intellectuals[,]” which is a broad word for “thinks and reads too much” and as good a definition of the readers of this blog as any (though not as good as plain Odd)[,] [run] in circles that are composed of the 20% or so of the nation that are genuinely leftist. Or if they aren’t, they keep their lips zipped in order to keep their jobs and [position since] the left maintains power with a [scorched-earth] policy.

So, lest you think I’m a raving loon who hasn’t thought through things, I will lay before you all the means and ways in which the left commits fraud in the elections.

I hope that's a good enough narrative hook. Read the rest.
