This is not news. It’s estimated that Trump’s MAGA base is 30% of the electorate In a Rep/Dem/Ind electorate split of 46/46/8 percent, 30/46 percent equals 65% One could argue in the margins, but the pardoned insurrectionists holding out for $1.7B will always believe the 2020 election was stolen.

But the 2016 election and everyone since 2020 were completely fraud-free. Even the ones held while a Democratic administration was in power. Do you get just how Bizarre and obviously self-serving those claims by the Republicans are?

Not infrequently I run into #BlueMAGA people who insist the 2024 election was stolen. There are two camps each of which is convinced that their loss is sufficient evidence of election fraud and all the rest of us rolling our eyes at both groups. No, just losing doesn't prove the other guy cheated. 🙄

Sometimes I wish the felon/rapist had won the 2020 election because his second presidency nightmare would be over now. Except for the decades of resulting horror that we are experiencing & will for longer than I care to think about. Also, he would not be president during the 250th celebration.

Just shows how pulling funding from education for 39 years has created the dumbest country on the planet, considering how much money they waste on meaningless crap instead of education. But this is the GOP target all along, make stupid people with the racist gene like zombies w/out critical thought

And is the response to this AND? They are being distracted by the premise, and we are being distracted with their utter fucking stupid delusion. And why does it matter? There is no do-over. But lets fight about it while the country is being stolen from us.

The Oligarch class seems to think that endless manipulation of the populous has no down side; that as long as they get power and wealth it's okay. I presume they don't believe in eternal damnation, and they can pick up and move to a country they haven't destroyed at any time. We had better wake up.

I remember reading a twitter post from a woman in NJ who had just voted and was complaining that people who voted for Democrats were “stealing our votes!” as if someone isn’t allowed to vote for a different candidate than you support. Unreal.

“There’s no proof” that it was stolen is wrong. Instead there’s abundant proof that it wasn’t stolen. Rs aren’t just wrong, they’re delusional

Trump blatantly lies to these clowns every single day. I bet of that 63 percent, many actually don’t believe it, but they think this is a sports game.

There were 47 presidential elections in the US of which Trumb *officially* only won 2!. (47-2)/47 = 96% of all past elections were stolen!!! MAGA must be made aware of this monstrous scandal!

Republicans also believe that Trump is honest and never lies. They imagine him as a svelte athlete and a man with a super intellect far beyond any man who has ever lived. They Also believe that He now sits at the right hand of The Most High, having told the Nazarene "You're Fired!" #RepublicanCope

They can believe the earth is flat and Jupiter is made of cheese. Who gives a shit. They're obviously wrong and it makes no difference to anything.

The illusory truth effect occurs when repeated statements—regardless of factual accuracy—begin to feel more truthful simply because they are familiar. Repetition increases processing fluency, making information easier to process and more likely to be perceived as valid.

Who knew that if we talked about it constantly, even with no facts to back us up, the same people who watch us would start to believe it. Then we can use that to justify talking about it even more. Circular reasoning at its finest.

Seems proof that our media allowing trumps narrative to be broadcast over and over as if they are showing both sides is enough to make people believe lies. Also, why no one can question if Trump really won in 2024. no one can question that because of Trumps lies about 2020

In retrospect, if only Trump had been given the 2020 election. His two terms would be over by now and he'd likely have since been jailed for the rest of his miserable life

This nation is irreparable until the traitors are held accountable for 1/6/21 coup. Those traitors work daily to undermine our nation and its liberties to protect a rapist who sent mob/militia to murder elected representation in effort to overthrow a duly elected government. It will get worse.

I'll bet there's a nearly complete overlap in this Venn diagram: People who insist the 2020 presidential election stolen. People who resent being thought idiots for believing it.

because the “poorly educated” will never understand And “they” have done this very publicly and purposely stop trying to make it make sense it never will google is free 🆓 but hatred and ignorance that 💩 runs deep and is forever.👵🏽

Yep! Apparently Democrats didn't cheat in 2016 despite being in power, but did cheat in 2020 despite not being in power, then cheated again in 2024 but still managed to lose despite being in power.

ARENDT: "The outstanding negative quality of the totalitarian elite is that it never stops to think about the world as it really is... Its most cherished virtue, correspondingly, is loyalty to the Leader, who, like a talisman, assures the ultimate victory of lie and fiction over truth and reality."

HANNAH ARENDT: “Before mass leaders seize the power to fit reality to their lies, their propaganda is marked by its extreme contempt for facts as such, for in their opinion fact depends entirely on the power of man who can fabricate it.” ― from 'The Origins of Totalitarianism' (1951)

HANNAH ARENDT: “The result of a consistent and total substitution of lies for factual truth is not that the lie will now be accepted as truth, and truth be defamed as lie, but that the sense by which we take our bearings in the real world...is being destroyed.” ― from 'Truth and Politics' (1967)

Cult members don’t need or care about proof. The more absurd the cult leader’s lie, the more important it is for followers to proclaim their belief in the lie. Faith in the cult leader brings rewards and acceptance. Skepticism brings punishment and ostracism
