Winning hearts and minds is going to be difficult: 80% of Trump voters over 50 years old incorrectly believe Trump “definitely” won the election; 67% of Trump voters who are college grads hold that view; and 82% of Trump voters without college degrees falsely think he won, per Pew survey— Manu Raju (@mkraju) January 15, 2021 I was going to say minds would be harder, but most are also heartless, so it’s a draw...
Remember, in their families' beliefs,Kennedy stole 1960,Nixon was betrayed,there were WMDs in Iraq,Clintons murdered scores of people to cover up theft and rape, John Kerry lied about his service,,and Obama was a Kenyan Muslim Socialist n-word. Compared to this,a little light voter fraud is minor. Speaking of minors,(((the elite))) drink their blood.
For all the talk of White Trash Pokemon or the Meth Lab Putsch, it's a stark reminder of how many people that are in no way desperate or lacking opportunity are part of this because they just want their extremist ideology to have unchecked power.
Surprised the number is so high: Only 19% of Republicans????CNN POLL (January 9-14)Did Biden LegitimatelyWin Enough Votes forThe Presidency? Yes NoDemocrats 99% 1%Independents 66% 31%Republicans 19% 75% Margin of error: +/-7.5% pts— Ana Cabrera (@AnaCabrera) January 17, 2021
And yet we're talking human beings, not some kind of alien breed. And 8 out of 10 of them have been persuaded to believe in a totally baseless and made up story, that's been showed multiple times being untrue in courts, that are the places that, in a democratic society, should be recognized by everyone as the ones appointed to decree if a legal claim is correct or not. There is something deeply wrong with it, that can't be easily dismissed by saying that they're Republicans, thus beyond caring. Because, even if they were not all registered as Republicans, there were anyway 75.000.000 voters who chose Trump. Let's pretend that this poll is quite accurate (although the margin of error that's declared in the Tweet, +- 7,5%, is quite huge): it would mean that there would be about 60.000.000 people out there who believed a blatant lie that's been built in cold blood and repeated with a straight face, despite the fact that it has about the level of credibility of flat earthers. Now, of course it's impossible to eliminate flat earthers and every era of the history of the world will have its ones, but when the poilitical equivalent of flat earthers are 60.000.000 in a country of about 328.000.000, well, to put it mildy that's a problem. Just declaring that they're lunatics nutjobs is not enough, because at this rate it's going to become "Idiocracy" made real, instead of just a dystopia. I am not sure what can be done, but something must be done!
Actually, 19% is an improvement. If it can get to 30% by the Spring, I will consider that an achievement. Having Trump out of office and the constant limelight and w/out a social media platform may help.
What was interesting about the poll: it didn’t release the raw numbers for each group (GOP, Dem and Indep), but they did release margin of error by group. Based upon the MOEs, there were nearly as many GOP identifiers as there were Dem identifiers. The proportions line up pretty closely with what you’d see in a Gallup party ID survey at any point over the last few years.
I'd be interested in seeing a poll that asked Republican voters if Pelosi was an alien lizard creature pretending to be human, and Democratic voters the same question of Mitch. I wonder how the percentage of Yes votes would differ.
They really didn't send their best and brightest. Capitol riot suspect Andrew Hatley installed geolocation app Life360. Feds got search warrant to confirm he was in Capitol. He also posted pic of self w/2Calhoun statue. Now charged in criminal complaint. Doc: https://t.co/r7IvMtGhQ2— Josh Gerstein (@joshgerstein) January 17, 2021
Some people definitely need to hear this (not that it'd make a dent in their thick domes unfortunately). Don’t know who this dude is but he broke that shit DOWN!!

Michigan Republicans are trying to oust the GOPer who voted to certify Biden's election. Let's be clear...at this specific moment, the GOPs are setting it up so that they can steal the 2024 election even if it isn't particularly close. They are working to eliminate safeguards. https://talkingpointsmemo.com/news/...-board-member-who-certified-results-for-biden
