You mean like all the court cases Donald lost, the audits, the recounts? You know that stuff? People believe Qanon more than legitimate things these days. Maybe trump saying things like fake news and alternative facts had an effect on people.
This is why one of Trump’s greatest “crimes” was his Big Lie. It’s the damage that does to the body politic. The potentially LASTING damage moving forward. He laid the groundwork for using the Big Lie months before the 2016 election. He repeated the groundwork months before the 2020 election. (One would think that adults, with the sufficient degree of cynicism that life experiences and a realistic understanding of human nature might provide, would easily recognize Trump’s laying the groundwork of the Big Lie as just a con artist setting up his marks, but no, when he says what his cult members WANT to believe, the common sense of those cultists is nowhere to be found. And Trump knew that would be the case. He’s one of the greatest con artists of all time.) And based on that completely fabricated narrative of a fraudulent 2020 election, Republicans have been running with the idea of preventing fraud that never happened. I do not think those Americans appalled by the Big Lie are needlessly paranoid by being concerned at the number of 2020 election deniers running for Secretary of State in the 2022 midterms on the GOP side in many states.

I think that’s what Trumpers are ultimately pushing; an overthrow of our democracy and an establishment of an authoritarian dictator.
Trump using the term "brave patriots" is a dog whistle to his cultists for violence in his name.Of course….
Trump Calls On Wis. GOP To Nullify Elector Votes, Make Him Victor After Ballot Box Ruling
Here we go again.www.huffpost.com
Donald Trump is now calling on the Republican speaker of the Assembly in the Wisconsin state legislature to snatch back the state’s 2020 electoral votes to declare him the winner of the presidential race he lost in the wake of a court ruling on ballot drop boxes.
He pushed the astonishing plan a day after he baselessly declared himself the winner in the state when the Wisconsin Supreme Court on Friday restricted the number of absentee ballot boxes in future elections. He again insisted in his message Saturday that he is the “actual winner (by a lot!)” in the battleground state.

Are you also opposed to absentee ballots on these grounds?
Not generally speaking. You may be able to find some people who do but you can also find some people who eat fiberglass insulation. The rational far outnumber the crazies on either side of the political divide.
Yes. We have far more secure methods available to us and I believe we should utilize them. I do not like paper ballots being delivered by mail with the only security feature being a scribble of ink.
Thank you for summing up perfectly why drop boxes are such a bad idea. If you don't think the Clippers won, you can go back and rewatch the tape. You can count how every basket was scored, by whom, and which players handled the ball on any particular possession. You don't have to take the NBA's word for it. There is no evidence with a drop box. The ONLY choice you have is to take an authority's word for it and you know they are asserting to a thing they don't know because they don't have the evidence either.

I’ve read a lot about Leo lately. You know a guy is a bad guy when he has two first names and they’re basically the same. He’s making a lot of money building institutions that roll back societal advancements. What scares me is how much money is behind this movement. We’re seeing books banned, women’s rights being rolled up, and calls for “eradicating transgender” people daily. And it’s getting worse.Inside the “Private and Confidential” Conservative Group That Promises to “Crush Liberal Dominance”
Leonard Leo, a key architect of the Supreme Court’s conservative supermajority, is now the chairman of Teneo Network, a group that aims to influence all aspects of American politics and culture.
“A few months ago, Leonard Leo laid out his next audacious project.
Ever since the longtime Federalist Society leader helped create a conservative supermajority on the Supreme Court, and then received more than a billion dollars from a wealthy Chicago business owner to disburse to conservative causes, Leo’s next moves had been the subject of speculation.
Now, Leo declared in a slick but private video to potential donors, he planned to “crush liberal dominance” across American life. The country was plagued by “woke-ism” in corporations and education, “one-sided journalism” and “entertainment that’s really corrupting our youth,” said Leo amid snippets of cheery music and shots of sunsets and American flags.
Sitting tucked into a couch, with wire-rimmed glasses and hair gone to gray, Leo conveyed his inspiration and intentions: “I just said to myself, ‘Well, if this can work for law, why can’t it work for lots of other areas of American culture and American life where things are really messed up right now?’”
Teneo is building what Leo called in the video “networks of conservatives that can roll back” liberal influence in Wall Street and Silicon Valley, among authors and academics, with pro athletes and Hollywood producers. A Federalist Society for everything.
