You should consider asking them why.
- InitialLastName 6y agoWhen I ask that, the only answer I get is "My information bubble tells me everyone loves Trump, so any situation where he genuinely loses is inconceivable."
- mrslave 6y agoA bit unfair considering the exact same could be said for another large bubble with 's/loses/wins/'. To GP, you could add more than snark. The most strongly proclaimed message is that there's a stolen election to be stopped. This is a very bold claim, and while I'm don't disbelieve that there could be election fraud, (1) it's not a square function: the magnitude of the fraud would need to be considered; and (2) some evidence for such a strong claim is needed. Trump has had 3 years of actual governing to address things like stale voter registries where dead people, say for example, come out and vote in the order of 50,000 (a claim I have heard but can't comment on it's strength). To use that now is disingenuous. But then we're just here guessing what Stop The Steal even means because noone is explaining it sufficiently.
- brighton36 6y agoRespectfully, you should consider that the media is probably lying to you in regards to 'what it is that trumps election fraud believers, believe' Most of the believers I've talked to believe 'the rules were changed in the middle of the game' wrt mail-in voting, and such. These believers also believe that foreign interference distorted the results. (Both parties agree to this, I think) We will now be in a perverse situation where both sides will think the election results are fraudulent, if their side lost. I think it's an unsolvable problem. Because reform would necessarily be a partisan endeavor, without legitimacy in that party. We're unrepresentable now, best I can tell.
