It’s a pretty amazing thing that Trump has accomplished. There was no widespread election fraud. The election was not stolen by Biden. But, Trump’s point is to create the belief that he did win the 2020 election. He laid the groundwork for this Big Lie months ago, by saying the ONLY way he could lose is if the election was rigged. Now that he lost, in a fair and free 2020 election, he simply doubles down on that claim, so he can say he won. Apparently, the greater majority of GOP voters are willing to buy into the Big Lie. He will than use this triumph of lie over truth in service to whatever his post election long term goal is. All while having damaged the fundamental institution of our republic. The man is evil, and I mean evil.
WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump is trying to turn America's free and fair election into a muddled mess of misinformation, specious legal claims and baseless attacks on the underpinnings of the nation's democracy.

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump is trying to turn America’s free and fair election into a muddled mess of misinformation, specious legal claims and baseless attacks on the underpinnings of the nation’s democracy.
The resulting chaos and confusion that has created isn’t the byproduct of Trump’s strategy following his defeat to Democrat Joe Biden. The chaos and confusion is the strategy.
Trump’s blizzard of attacks on the election are allowing him to sow discontent and doubt among his most loyal supporters, leaving many with the false impression that he is the victim of fraudulent voting. That won’t keep Trump in office — Biden will be sworn in on Jan. 20 — but it could both undermine the new president’s efforts to unify a fractured nation and fuel Trump in his next endeavor, whether that’s another White House run in 2024 or a high-profile media venture....
..... The effects of Trump’s strategy are already starting to emerge. A Monmouth University poll out Wednesday showed that 77% of Trump supporters said Biden’s victory was due to fraud, despite overwhelming evidence to the contrary.
