Ben Carson’s remarks about whether he would accept the results of the 2024 presidential election regardless of which party wins falls in line with a recent Republican trend that’s causing a stir among social media users.
On CNN’s Laura Coates Live on Thursday night, Coates asked Carson, the former Secretary of Housing and Urban Development: “Will you accept the results of the 2024 election, regardless of who wins, yes or no?”
Carson replied: “I will accept the results if it’s done in a fair and transparent way.”
This leans right into Americans’ short attention spans and inability to understand nuance or complicated subjects.
I mean large swaths of the country chirp “America is the best” or “America is #1” without ever even taking a second to ask what it is we’re even “the best” at.
