Stopping the Steal

Shines a light on the courageous people (all of which are Republicans) who 'held the line' after the 2020 election and acted with honor and integrity. Stark warning at the end, to ensure that we elect honorable people who respect the rule of law and the constitution into positions of power. Somehow a large chunk of Americans don't seem to care about that going into the next election though ... this documentary serves as a good reminder of why you should care. We need documentaries like this to ensure that the shameful conduct and actions that many took part in after the 2020 election, culminating on January 6th, are not forgotten.

The amazing effort Dan Reed put into this project is surpassed only by his brilliant result. It's the trial America has been needing. A verdict is soon to be rendered and this film will most certainly ensure a better outcome. Stopping the Steal was so engaging it was easy to lose sight of one's own perceptions and convictions; although, some extra name tags would have helped my brain recall all the players. The interview with Rusty Bowers stole the show and was especially inspiring. Of course, re-living Rudy Giuliani's drippage just made me lose my snot. In the end, it wasn't about presenting evidence, it was about revealing intent. Mr. Reed did the job well. Remaining denyers will either have to step out of their echo chambers and seek a new master, or find even more emotions to persuade with, because all reason has now been exhausted.

How does anyone say this is a biased doc when there are no Dems, only Republican insiders that are interviewed? One really has to wonder about their critical thinking skills.

I mean really, Bill Barr is part of a conspiracy? When he has admitted that he's voting for Trump in 2024? He's straight up telling the truth here. Everyone is, except the conspiracy theorists (who believe they're telling the truth). The doc has to include the conspiracy theorists in order to show why they believe the Big Lie. So be prepared to either be frustrated (left and ind) or confused (right and ind).

I hope this doc gains traction because there are a ton of people (half the country) that need to be deprogrammed. They also need to watch the 60 Minutes segment on fake electors - it's what made me understand why this "steal" conspiracy is so insidious and egregious. It's really scary how easily they could have been successful. It behooves all of us to understand history, lest we repeat it.

Thank god for Republican officials who have a moral compass and still believe in facts. Honestly, it's nice to see, because I had lost all faith in members of the GOP.

Anyone can make a film where they embolden confirmation bias by interviewing people and presenting evidence that only supports their own position. That is part of the disease of today's social media culture. The strength of this film is that it presents a hypothesis-that Donald Trump knew he lost the election, and there was no evidence to support it and proceeded anyway, from the position of pre-Trump supporters, State Officials, and Washington insiders. These people all wanted Trump to win, but they believed in truth more, The film shows how they were systemically targeted and vilified as they could not find any viable evidence to support the outrageous allegations made by the President's election team. It really is heart-wrenching to watch. Mike Pence, whom I was never a fan of, is a hero. He is a hero, for not only not overturning the election, but, as you will see, by not abandoning The Capitol while under siege, as he could have. This is a must watch.

This show shows even more so why people think Trumpers are a cult! They have no idea what to do or think unless their leader tells them. You guys blindly follow your leader regardless of what he does or says. He's done everything but kill someone in broad daylight and even then they would excuse it. No matter how many lies, disinformation or conspiracy theories with no facts he told, it doesn't matter to these people, they still follow and believed every word out of his mouth like it was gospel. They always say he didn't say it, and if he did say it then he didn't mean it, and if he did mean it then it's hey look at Kamala Harris or Joe Biden. The twice impeached felon Trump was a pathologically lying narcissistic who exploited democracy and the people.
