THE “MY PILLOW CEO, IS A FEW BRICKS SHORT OF A LOAD”

 

                                         …Mike Lindell is the CEO of “My Pillow”

 

Lindell says he has evidence that the election was “snatched from Donald Trump”

 

The following is just an article to show how crazy some of those Trump supporters are acting. 

The one man that is spending tons of money, certainly millions of dollars so far, is the My Pillow CEO, Mike Lindell.

Lindell’s year long, waste of time and money, shows just how much he plans to “prove” that the 2020 election was “snatched out of Trump’s deserving hands”.  It wasn't.

In a recent Lindell interview that aired on the pro-Trump streaming site, Real America’s Voice, Lindell asserts that he is more confident than ever that he will prove what he has, so far, totally failed at proving.  That being, that he has, according to the interview: “All the pieces to the puzzle. When you talk about evidence, we have enough evidence to put everybody that committed the unstated crime that calls for a federal life sentence.  There should be in prison for life….some 300 million people.  We’ve had the evidence all the way back to November, December.”

Of course, he offered none of his so called “evidence”.

So why hasn’t this all happened?  That’s because, he explained, “He had to wait for the evil to reveal itself.”

 And what does that mean....?

The interviewer did not press him on the important 300 million number.  Instead she moved forward without any comment.  That is usually the case in these sorts of interviews with these sorts of, right-wing networks.

First, I will stipulate up front that it’s not clear what he’s talking about.  Lindell is the reigning “American Conspiracy Theory Champion”, so we should not give his statements the same standard of rationality that we might give someone else.

But, if you look at the kind of numbers of Americans he’s talking about, his “some 300 million people”, he’s talking about 91% of the population of this country.  He wants to put 91% of America in prison…?

But, Lindell has continued to spend his money to support his bizarre beliefs.  He keeps plugging away, by starting up a “social network” (not yet operational), a streaming video service, and he is hosting rallies and funding various other efforts to “prove” that the election was stolen.  As I said, "It wasn’t."

Anyway, let’s talk about what it means to put 300 million people in prison for life.

I will stipulate up front that it’s not clear who he’s talking about.

So let’s operate under the assumption that Lindell #1) believes he has evidence that could put anyone in prison for life, and #2) believes that he has evidence to put 300 million people in prison.

So, just how many people is that? 

Well, it’s more than the number of people who voted for President Biden in 2020.  That total was 81 million voters.  Of course, Lindell does not think that Biden got 81 million votes.  He thinks it was more like 68 million. Regardless, he’s still in the hole by more than 200 million votes.

Lindell’s 300 million, is not only every Biden voter, but every Trump voter, too.  But clearly, Lindell doesn’t think any Trump voters committed this “Unnamed Federal Law violation”.  So where does he get 300 million American voters….?

Basically, the number of people that Lindell has identified as guilty, is every American aged 7 and up.  That group totals about 302 million.  If we assume that everyone who was 6 or younger did not commit “The Crime of the Century”, then we can get to Lindell’s number.  Sorry for those 9-year-olds that would be about to spend the next 65 years in Leavenworth.

Lindell didn’t get into specifics about how this roundup of those guilty would take place.  After all, the federal prison population today is about 158,000, meaning that each currently serving prisoner would now need to share their cell with 1,900 other people.  Therefore, everyone would get to use the prisoner’s bed for about 45 seconds a day.

The casual response of Lindell’s interviewer did not cause any response, as was expected at that kind of network.

But it has become very obvious as to how far some of Trump’s supporters will go with his false claims of a stolen election.

It’s just too bad, that some of them have the large financial resources, such as a CEO like Mike Lindell. 

The fortunate part is that Lindell's spending may eventually run out of money.

At least, that’s what we can hope for.
