Trump Supporters Still Can't Explain Why They Believe Election Lies

According to a new report in The Atlantic, most Trump supporters still can't explain how the 2020 election was stolen, or even why they believe that it was. Normal people understand that the election wasn't stolen, and there is no evidence to back up any of the claims made by Trump and his allies, but that hasn't stopped the Big Lie from persisting among Trump's most hardcore fans. Farron Cousins discusses this.

According to a new report from the Atlantic, which was by the way, written by a conservative writer. Actually, one of the people from the group Republicans for common sense said that she has talked to many, many different Republicans who believe firmly in their heart of hearts, that the 2020 election was stolen from the Donald Trump. Yet miraculously, not one of them can explain why they feel that way. Let me read what some of these people said. A woman from Wisconsin told her, I can't really put my finger on it, but something just doesn't feel right, man from Pennsylvania says something about it just didn't seem right, man, from Arizona said it didn't smell right. is another one. Man. From North Carolina, there was 10 million more votes for Trump in this last election than he got in 2016. You're telling me that Joe Biden got that many. He continued, I personally went to Trump rallies that were filling stadiums and then Biden can't even fill a freaking library. Like, no, it's not true. I don't believe it don't buy it. One from Georgia also told her that the mail-in ballots were a CRO.

How though see, that is what each one of these individuals. And that's actually the point of this piece from the Atlantic. Each one of 'em says, oh yeah, it was totally stolen. Yeah, you can just tell. Right. Cool. How can you tell, ah, you know, you just, you get that feeling right in here and you tell, oh, it's stolen. Yeah. But how, you know the thing to quote Biden himself, it wasn't stolen. You morons. And the fact that you can't explain why you believe something is just further proof of that. Like these individuals, as they're sitting there being questioned by this writer, a, a Sarah Long Weller name, the fact that you can can't justify your own beliefs, the fact that you are stating something as if it were a fact, and then when asked for the facts, you can't back it up that should have sent light bulbs going off in their heads. Like, wait a minute, wait a minute. No, I got it. You're right. I'm a total nut job. But they, as people are so far gone that they can't even see that they're nut jobs, even when they're being nut jobs, that you're literally sitting there admitting, like I can't justify any of the things I say or do, or believe

That doesn't send off warning bells, like no red flags waving in your head, like, wait a minute. Maybe that's not a thing we ought to be believing. Nope. They just went right on with it. You know, I just feel it in my gut.

Okay. Doesn't make it true. Unfortunately though, 68% of Republicans, 68% of Republicans believe that the 2020 election was stolen and I'm willing to bet most of that, 68% would be the same if you were to ask them like, okay. Yeah. But how, I don't know, you just feel it. And another thing I like to bring up is the fact that these Republicans tell us all day, every, every day, how incompetent Joe Biden is how incompetent the democratic party is yet. There's still somehow competent enough to steal an election. Here's the problem. And this was actually, and again, Sarah, Longwell points this out in her piece. So that's why I'm bringing it up here prior to the 2020 experts were warning about what's called the red Mirage. And it actually goes back to what that one individual said about the Trump rally. Yeah. Trump was packing stadiums, you know, 20, 30, I think one point 50,000 people in a stadium to hear the man speak cool.

50,000 people though, you have no way of knowing if those 50,000 people were the only 50,000 people in that state that voted for Trump. Right? I know that sounds weird. But think about if you're in a state with 10 million people and Trump gets 50,000 of them, cool. There could still be 9 million, 950,000 who vote for Biden. The difference is with the Democrats to a degree, it's not a cult. just cuz Biden can't pack a stadium. Doesn't mean that more people weren't like. Yeah. Okay. I'll vote for that guy. I, to be honest, Biden could be doing a, a conference in my neighborhood and I probably wouldn't go, I just watch it on TV or just read the highlights of it. That's what I do.
