Norwegian Socialist Lars Haltbrekken recently nominated Stacey Abrams for a Nobel Peace Prize. Abrams, now a voting rights activist, ran against and was defeated by Brian Kemp in the 2018 gubernatorial race in Georgia. She has maintained ever since that the election was stolen from her.
Her reward? A Nobel Peace Prize nomination!
Donald Trump has maintained all along that his loss in the 2020 presidential race was the result of fraud.
His reward? An impeachment effort that absurdly went on even after he had left office!
Remarkably, many who dared consider the possibility that the 2020 election had been stolen from Trump have been banished from high tech platforms such as Facebook, Twitter, etc.
Would this be an example of what is generally known as a double-standard, or, in moral terms, brazen hypocrisy? Or is it simply the inevitable result of Lester Holt’s “sophisticated” contention that “fairness” is vastly overrated, an “ethical principle” that leads quite naturally to the conviction that if you agree with us, its a Nobel Peace Prize, if you don’t, its “cancellation!”
