Arizona congressman Paul Gosar has signalled that the fight against the election result, which he has repeatedly claimed was stolen, would continue in some form and that voter numbers were on the side of incumbent President Donald Trump.

Gosar was among the most outspoken GOP critics of the result and has continued to claim, without evidence, that the projected win for President-elect Joe Biden had been marred by election fraud.

In a tweet on Monday, Gosar continued on this theme, writing: "The America First agenda is just in its infancy. There are 75 million of us," referring to the number of people who voted for Trump, although official figures so far put it at closer to 74 million.

"Also. Did you know some Japanese soldiers kept fighting for decades after the war?" he added, tweeting an image of the Wikipedia entry of Teruo Nakamura, a Taiwanese-Japanese soldier who fought for the Imperial Japanese Army during World War Two, who did not surrender until nearly three decades after hostilities had ended.

Another one who needs a history lesson. Or does he want to be on the same side as the Nazis?

I don't think that the Congressman really ought to be using this analogy, because it's not a good look for Trump. The Japanese holdouts kept fighting not because they were in the right, but because they refused to believe that the war was over. Trouble was, it WAS over, and Japan had lost.

Much as I wanted Trump to win, I'm coming to grips with the apparent reality that he did not. But if he keeps on fighting, after the "apparent" reality becomes "real" reality (i.e. once the lawsuits and the recounts play out, and it's proven that he did indeed lose), then a comparison between him and the Japanese holdouts is indeed quite apt. But this would not be to his favor.

Reality is not a very good look for Gosar, apparently
