It's almost like they operate purely on emotion, rather than facts or reality.

Brought to you by the “ fuck your feelings” group and the letter X

It's such batshit logic too. The 2020 presidential election, which happened with Trump as president, saw Biden become president through cheating but the 2024 election, which happened under Biden who apparently cheated previously, was a-okay and saw Trump win? Are Republicans just really bad at election security and Democrats just super lazy at cheating when they get into power?

No, they just don't give a fuck. The vast majority know it's lies, they just want their side to rule and elections be damned.

To be immediately revived the next time a Democrat wins.

Or the next time a Republican wins, but by not as much as they feel like they should have won by.

Conservatives have the same understanding of real world mechanics as a child.

That's not true. Children are inquisitive and willing to learn.

I wouldnt be surprised if we find out decades from now there was actual fraud in the election to get trump elected. But it was swept under the rug.

As far as we can tell there was nothing wonky about the election. But it's all a house of cards we just believe in anyway. Seems like Republicans just believe whatever way the wind blows.

Fraud or not, he certainly had local (and probably foreign) powers interfering by disseminating false information and promoting narratives that favored him while putting Biden/Harris in a bad light.

Off the top of my head, Elon changing the shitter algorithm to boost Republican opinions comes to mind.
