    Enjoy chasing this down to disassociate with what’s going on in the country for the next 4 years. Looks comfy, like really comfy.

    I may slip on a pair of [conspiracy theory] myself at some point!

      We knew damn well that Trump and co. were preparing to attempt to steal the election if necessary. We knew and have been documenting that Trump and co. were installing and/or trying to install sympathetic election officials everywhere they could in the last 4 years. We know damn well that Trump and co. already tried to cheat in the last election, e.g. trying to get Brad Raffensperger to “find me 11,780 votes” in Georgia in 2020. We know that Trump and co. are fighting hard in court anywhere they can to have mail in ballots thrown out, e.g. in Pennsylvania. We know Trump sycophants have been setting fire to absentee ballot boxes. These are not the actions of a campaign expecting to win legitimately.

      Even sitting here as a random largely uneducated chump on the internet, not even rising to the level of armchair expert, I can see that the latest election results need to be investigated and validated and verified as thoroughly as humanly possible, on every level, to find where – not if – Trump’s cronies cheated. Whether or not they cheated enough to actually affect the ultimate outcome if the election is less clear, but let’s not kid ourselves. The chances that this was a completely straight and honest election are, without a doubt, zero.

      If Dickhead really did win after all that, then he won. But the process must be totally transparent. There is no other way for it to maintain any semblance of legitimacy.

        This is a very comforting thought, that what you saw with your eyes, what was ratified by congress, didn’t happen that way. People are smarter than that, right! It seems so insane that it did.

        You can now spend the next 4 years of this waking nightmare chasing down news about this conspiracy, and i think that seems very comforting. I might even adopt it at some point if it gets compelling enough.

          “This is a very comforting thought”

          sounds like you’re confused.

          “that what you saw with your eyes, what was ratified by congress, didn’t happen that way”

          aw, you’re very confused.

          “People are smarter than that”

          not sure what you’re referring to, but I’m glad you did an include yourself in that bubble.

          looks like you have no counter argument. do any of the facts here or the election fraud scheme that happened and that people are convicted for and are still being convicted for?

          cool, thanks for supporting my argument.
