'The charge of systemic urban cheating encapsulates the widespread fear among Republicans that they're losing control of the country to a racially and religiously diverse Democratic coalition mainly based in the largest cities,' Ronald Brownstein writes.

The Supreme Court's rejection last week of the lawsuit from Texas and 18 other Republican-led states effectively ended the legal efforts by President Donald Trump and his allies to overturn his election defeat.

But the case likely marks the start of a new round of Republican efforts to challenge the basic rules of American democracy by limiting access to the voting booth and potentially again seeking to undo elections they lose. And an assertion buried deep in Texas' final filing to the Supreme Court helps explain why.

Electoral College formally affirms Biden's presidential win 01:25That charge of systemic urban cheating encapsulates the widespread fear among Republicans that they are losing control of the country to a racially and religiously diverse Democratic coalition based primarily in the nation's largest cities.

Al Gore had to announce Bush's win in front of Congress 01:37Trump's claim of systemic voter fraud snaps onto that larger message as easily as one Lego block onto another. As Jones notes, Trump's signature promise to"Make America Great Again" already evokes"turning back the clock, restoring the country back to a time when White Christians and White working-class people did have more power and were, demographically speaking, a larger proportion of the country.

The republicans better spend everyday of the next 4 years investigating joe Biden just like the Democrats did to President Trump

Reps didn’t loose control of the country, the election was stolen from them

CNNTapes

realDonaldTrump Retrumplicans need a tissue. LMAO!

Better them on the outside looking in on the good people of America, they can crawl back into whatever dark places they were before 2008....

What's the matter it's okay for Donald Trump to steal it but Joe Biden didn't steal his but Trump did ask Putin how it worked

There is a lot to unpack there.

Converting US to Islam or what?

OMG CAN WE GET ANY MORE REDICULOUS!!!!

Well they are losing it to a racially diverse group of people in the largest cities. It’s happening. There’s no fear needed. It’s a fact Jack

The only radicals appear to be right wing republicans with alliance to Trump.

CNN is garbage 🤮

Trumplicans

Right On Brownstein. We love our freedoms and We love our right to religious choice. Control of the Country is the coat of arms of the democrats.

Absolutely complete nonsense... Its the Democrats that are afraid because THEY are the ones starting to lose minority demographics to the GOP. And thats with the obnoxious media lies and big tech censorship. If we had a halfway honest media, the Democrat party would be done.

Diverse my ass!

You got fooled by a fool!!! Demento Joe....

So... racism, essentially. It's been pretty obvious this entire time.

Stop The Steal = Russian Collusion

They are losing power because they are wrong. Someone needs to break it to them.

BREAKING:🚨 ACTUAL photo of Biden appearance today in GA Photo the 🤡🤡⬆️⬆️News media WILL not show Won't report the evidence WANTS you to believe Biden got more votes then Trump Obama Clinton 🙄 BidenWillNeverBePresident BidenCheated2020 BidenCheated

No to conspiracies. Conspiracies are for uneducated only.

Once again CNN you fail to get the point.

To some degree, that’s true. Perhaps the less diplomatic way of saying it is that white America wants it to remain white America.

What man would have voted for any dem unless he was a weak, bleeding heart, appeasing, apologizing, schmuck who believes more in illegals then citizens, harps on the past, looks more at the bad in the country instead of the outweighing good, is weak to adversaries

The non-taxpayers are what they are.

Has nothing to do with race or religious diversity, has everything to do with living without extreme government controls and bullshit laws that allow more rights to criminals.

The sign should say “Stop the Stool” in support of their hero.

Kempo50 Imagine! A democracy centered in the densest population centers! Almost like democracy is rule by the people! Crazy shit, I tell ya.

Stop even mentioning Trump supporters in CNN tweet So you can get your cleaner sockpuppets on your Twitter feed CNN to do your false narratives against Trump supporters

What I can see for a decade is republicans cant face the Truth Wealth never Tricks down wealth Trickles up take care of the little guy the guy in the working-class families and the wealth will trickle up up up it will Repair neighborhood economies life styles

Diverse isn’t that a good thing people from different ethnicities isn’t that the true makeup of the USA we all no that there’s some racially motivated states in the country come on y’all move on..

OK-my guess in looking at this pic is that not one of these people has an IQ above 80-nor has any one of the ever READ THE CONSTITUTION AND IT’S HISTORY. Thank the Gods with Trump out, these subliterate haters will crawl back under their rocks.

Is CNN reporting this?

They did that in the 70s too though

No, it because we know the election was stolen. We'll never lose control of the country.

BidenWillNeverBePresident

How about James tape event showing how You are looking like

The Republican Party is the Corner Stone of America! The Liberal Diverse Program, brings in people based on the color of their skin rather then their qualifications! This concentration of people of color is in the inner cities abandon by civil people because of corruption & crime
