Yet, somehow, all the Republicans around here claim to be the smart ones that realize it's all lies and bullshit for the gullible. Man, what are the odds!

[Anastasis 23447]

A super majority of democrats in 2018 believed that Russia tampered with vote tallies in order to get Donald Trump elected. 

 

Just for some context. 

 

The political brain damage in this country is deeply rooted and probably irreversible.

yes, but unlike previous fascist movements this one is being lead by the absolute dumbest and uneducated people one could assemble. I'm no history buff so perhaps I'm wrong, but I think we're in uncharted territory here.

Dumbfuck uneducated and fascist go hand in hand together. Were it not for the nazis habitually favoring party-line stooges over experienced and knowledgeable commanders, WWII would have dragged on much longer. We know how empowered stupidity goes. 

It goes big, and then goes bust.

You're shitting me, right? I thought the Russia shit was overblown from the beginning--though there was at least some smoke there--but the accusation was never that they physically (or digitally) changed the actual tally.

Interference and Facebook bots before the election =/= widespread fraud at the polling center.

Jesus christ.

Excuse me, what? Please show me the polling data that supports this wild and unsubstantiated claim. 

I don't think voter tallies were altered, but I do think russia got access to privileged and sensitive polling data to do a shitload of targeted advertising to tip the election to trumps razor thin victory.

Nope. YouGov poll from March 4, 2018.

 

If you recall, Jill Stein made a lot of money pimping the hacking of voting machines narrative.  Hillary jumped on board one of the recount lawsuits that was predicated on potential of Russia hacking the electronic counting machines IIRC.

i have to question the reliability of polling when a question like "george soros is funding the immigrant caravan" gets a 25% probably true rating from self-described democrats.

No shit. I live in California, and I've never heard a single person question the validity of the 2016 election. Anecdotal, sure, but the same is nowhere near true for 2020.

HRC called him an illegitimate president. A third of her supporters said his election was illegitimate immediately after the election. Link

Next they will be claiming that they didn’t spend 2000-2008 with a, “Not my President” bumper sticker on their Prius.

you started your little side track in response to the poll showing that nearly half of republicans want the state to overturn the will of the people.  which is totes #bothsides.

Cool, so we're already walking it back. It started as "the majority of Democrats thought that Russia directly committed fraud to alter the vote tally," now we're at "one-third of Hilary supporters thought that the election was illegitimate," whatever that means.*

No, I've never heard a single person suggest that Russia hacked votes and that, in reality, Hillary won. Not once. I heard a lot of, "Holy shit, this can't be happening" and "The electoral college is a scam" in Nov 2016, but I don't think that directly implies fraud.

*probably a good chunk of people who just think that the electoral college is outdated

SMDH.  This is why we can't have nice things.

[Pato del Muerto 52461]

I will admit to deciding in 2020 that Trump must have cheated in 2020 and in 2016. Since every accusation is a confession, and he accused the democrats both elections leading up to the election.  Since he won in 2016 there was no need to pursue it like he did in 2020.  That plus his over performance vs  polling and unfounded confidence both times, plus his unbelievable total vote increase in 2020 from 2016 tells me they likely cheated somehow. 
 

of course I have no proof, don’t claim to have proof that I don’t really have, haven’t filed any lawsuits about it, am not spouting off about it on social media, not perpetuating it on television and radio, and am not trying to bend the laws in furtherance of my preferred style of governance nor have I tried to forcibly take control of the government. 
 

it’s just a hunch.

I've thought the same. He ran the same play as 2016, but severely underestimated turnout. Lost his shit because he thought the fix was in.  

Edit to add I wouldn't be surprised to find out team R had something funny going on with Dominion machines that either didn't work or like I said, they underestimated turnout. The way they immediately started casting doubt on those machines was a bit of a tell.

So let's say the first 6 happen, and even the first part of the 7th.  Can you point me to the part of the Constitution that says that all acts of an impeached official that happened while they are in office are automatically null and void?  I'll admit I'm no Constitutional scholar, so I probably missed it.

Dude, I generally respect your posting, but if you honestly believe that there's any comparison whatsoever to the losing sides' mindsets, ferocity, need to invent conspiracy theories, and distrust of the vote counting process--fed by outright lies--in 2016 and 2020, you've done lost your marbles at some point on your both sides crusade.

Again, I'm talking specifically about the trust in the election vote count. There's not a comparison whatsoever, and you fucking know it. That you're even arguing that point is amazing. How many lawsuits? How many Four Seasons press conferences? How many election laws have now been forced through on the back of blatant lies? How many insurrections? How many party members continue to purposely sow distrust in elections based on literally nothing?

See, I think that we actually agree on this stuff.  But acting like ranging conspiracy theories and claiming the 2016 election illegitimate were not widespread and widely held from 2016-2020 is just nuts.

dude. I don't know what the fuck you are talking about. I'm as liberal as they come. most of my friends are as or more liberal than me. while there was some disbelief and consternation and some flirting with conspiracy theories early on, no one in my circle was wringing their hands over the idea that the election was stolen.
