Most Republicans will believe there was fraud without any evidence. It's just the corrosive minds they have.

where is the evidence the election was stolen and Trump won?

For the majority of Trump backers and others in the far right no evidence reported by what they call the 'MSM' nor from the government is believed anymore.

Instead they believe what a serial liar like Trump says and what's reported by Hannity, Alex Jones, Breitbart, RT, Gateway Pundit, some random poster on 8chan and other fringe/wack sites writes.

Instead of believing what a 'mainstream' journal like Lancet or the New England Journal of Medicine reports they'll believe what Qanon says.

And they're heavily armed.

The election was declared the safest in history. Biden has won a landslide victory over Trump. The greatest numbers of Americans voted for a president in history. This week Trump lost every of his court cases. More losses to come next week.

The majority of the people in the rally not wearing masks.

Biden wins Arizona, first democrat since 1996. Also wins in Georgia. The first to win there since 1992.

Biden has broken so many records in this election.

77 million + people have spoken, a new record high.

According to Trump, Biden has won an EC landslide victory of 306 votes. Biden will be the next President of the United States of America.

Trump is an usurper and is not/never will be a true President. He's a dictator/puppet installed with Russian help. Obama was the last POTUS and his VP will be the next POTUS.

According to the Loser-n-Chief the election in 2016 was rigged as well. Except he won that election and this one he has lost. No protests about Florida of course or North Carolina but protests about Georgia and Arizona. It is all a game to get contributions to roll in like the fake Wall campaign that Trump ran with his buddies or his fake University or fake charity.

Just amazing that a narrow segment of American society is so gullible. Clinton was right about the rightwing fanatics being a basket of deplorables.

One of the techniques of the alt-right is to cloak extremist statements in post facto assertions they were done in irony, sarcasm, satire. Projection is also a big thing with them. So when you hear talk of coup d'etats while things seem to be going forward in a slapdash manner it's helpful to be on your guard.

Trump lovers are not "deplorables" (this language is emblematic of what lost the Dems their blue-collar base), but their belief in him was misplaced and their vote a grave error, two sins that people find hard to confess and forgive themselves for. To paraphrase that famous quote, "Trumpism is the sigh of the oppressed creature, the heart of a heartless world, and the soul of soulless conditions. It is the opium of the people".

Trump is toast, but the "poorly educated" that he "loved" came to Washington to remind us that they are not "fired" and are not going anywhere. Biden had better bind up their wounds with an inspiring inauguration speech that gives them hope followed by swift action that offers deliverance from Trump's "American carnage". Failure to win back the loyalty of working people will only reincarnate the tragedy of Trumpism, inviting a right-wing avatar to disprove the comforting notion that "it can't happen here".

See all those blue flags with the Diaper Dictator's names on them, reflecting their true loyalty. These decepted disciples follow Trump but their loyalty is not to America or its principals. They blindly follow a foolish fascist Fuehrer, telling themselves fairy tales so they can feel good about themselves. But they look like idiots!

Remember that horrible picture of a Trump rally at Lansing, Michigan with a giant video screen showing the hateful Orwellian scowling face of the dictator? 'How very like a cult..' indeed. It IS a cult - his personality cult and a religious cult (he did say he was a messiah last year). This is a cult!

Losers.

Among the speakers was a Georgia Republican newly elected to the U.S. House. Marjorie Taylor Greene, who has expressed racist views and support for QAnon conspiracy theories, urged people to march peacefully toward the Supreme Court.

The marchers included members of the Proud Boys, a neo-fascist group known for street brawling with ideological opponents at political rallies.

The marchers included members of the Proud Boys, a neo-fascist group known for street brawling with ideological opponents at political rallies.

It’s sad that a “news” article would make a partisan attack on a public interest group that describes itself as pro-Western Civilization. They explicitly reject racism and one of the groups founders is non-white. They aren’t my cup of tea but are a lot less violent and destructive than Antifa. Antifa is explicitly fascist - violence and unbending confrontation is what they do. From what I have seen the Proud Boys are offensive to Leftist groups who show up at their events with weapons and start fights. The Left want to deny people with opposing views the right to freedom of speech. The mainstream media and tech share this way of thinking and demonize them. It’s why the coverage of election protests this year are completely different than it was four years ago. Anti- Trump protestors clashed with police and burned cars. None of that is happening in DC today by the pro-Trump protestors.

All talk and no action. Soon Trump will start a civil war to protect the country (and children) from President Hillary. Trump people must take the side and fight for Trump or they will be looked at as Hillary enablers. Are you a Trump person in Japan? Then you must leave at once and return to the USA where it is legal to have a gun and you can join the white supremacists malitia like Proud Boys to guard and protect Trump's White House. Don't just talk about it. Do it!!!

On January 20th the final tally of votes occurs.

According to the Constitution, only Certified and Signed Electoral Votes may be counted.

Also, if no candidate receives a clear majority (for example Biden 260, Trump 219) the vote goes to a House vote whereby 1 State has 1 vote. In the event of a tie, the sitting Vice President votes.

Trump won 25 States.

We have a path to victory, just hold up 30 Electoral votes in some lawsuit.

No more Bovine Excrement.

This event reminded me the Plato's cave analogy. Like those who have lived chained to the wall of a cave all of their lives, Trump's supporters only trust the shadows or false information projected on the wall provided by this cunning manipulator.

The plaintiffs submitted more than 230 pages of affidavits from Republican poll challengers. But they described isolated grievances and perceived irregularities, not systemic fraud. “I felt intimidated by union people who were staring at me,” one poll challenger complained. Another said the loud volume of the P.A. system was distracting. A third said a Democratic poll worker told her to “go back to the suburbs, Karen.” A fourth found it suspicious that most of the few dozen ballots he saw counted that were cast by members of the military were votes for Mr. Biden.

A sample from one of the lawsuits filed by the trump fans.

Antifa is explicitly fascist

From what I have seen

"Antifa" means "anti-fascist", so it is by name, very explicitly... The opposite of fascist. But setting semantics aside, what "you have seen" is a corrupted version of the reality we all live in. A reality the the voters have loudly rejected last week.

Right-wing terrorism is vastly more of a threat to America than any left-wing movement, all of the intelligence agencies (people whose job it is to actually protect America from any and all threats) agree on it and publicly state it on a regular basis. "Antifa", whatever you think they are, only represent a threat to the country on fox, OAN and newsmax.

Fervent supporters of President Donald Trump rallied in Washington on Saturday behind his spurious claim of a stolen election and swarmed his motorcade when he detoured for a drive-by on his way out of town.

As much as I'd like to belittle and ridicule these folks, I actually feel sorry for them. They obviously lack the critical thinking skills to distinguish between facts in the real world, and a false, deluded alt-reality that is a signature of all cults.

Trump uses them to satiate his narcissistic personality disorder, while bilking them out of their meager savings....then he works to take away their health care while giving permanent tax breaks to the Top 1%.

These folks are to be pitied - they yell and cheer for their Messiah as he puts them all into poverty - or into the ICU....

There is no bridge between the delusions of the rightwing with their death cult and reality. The firm consistent characteristic of the Trump base is racism/white nationalism. If that is not deplorable then you do not understand the word itself. There is no way back to a middle ground in the USA, those days are long over. Proof of that, the Obama Presidency in which Obama wasted his political capital on overtures to the republicans that went nowhere. He was rewarded for his efforts with the Merrick Garland failure.

The reason the demos lost the blue collar workers is that they abandoned them under Clinton. Clinton was republican light, got him elected but he screwed over the working class regardless of race to win. Bernie Sanders cares about working people but he cannot win the corporate based Democratic Party nomination.

Take off the rose colored glasses, you are laboring under delusions not unlike the Trump rally participants.

So sad. The GOP and their supporters have turned into a cult. It isn't a party anymore. All of which can be blamed at Trump. By declaring that if he lost, then it must be rigged, paints a picture of an election as having only one desirable result: his win.

That is so crazy. It may work in dictatorships like Russia or North Korea, but not in America. Fortunately, there are enough cooler heads who won't be bullied in giving a dictator the decision they want. I commend the many state officials and volunteers who worked so hard to make it a secure election where people can rest assured that their votes counted.

Trump should be happy that he had the second highest amount of voters who voted for him in the history of elections. If he thinks there were mistakes in the system, then it should also affect his vote total.

In any case, these MAGA protesters aren't doing the country any good by protesting, inciting violence, and spreading the virus around even more. Shame on them for protesting a worthless cause.

Every day I get more emails from Trump and Pence begging for "donations" to the campaign to save America. At this point, donating money so that those two can rearrange the deck chairs on the sinking Titanic is the last thing in the world I want to do. It is obvious that Trump's latest scam is to get his lemmings to give him millions of dollars to take with him when he sneaks out of the White House.

I do not know what people see in someone like Trump, but there are enough of them so that he thinks it is worthwhile to plead for money from them.

They aren’t my cup of tea but are a lot less violent and destructive than Antifa.

Wolfpack: While you may be right that they may not be as violent as some other right-wing groups, they are only one small group of the right-wing ideology and their movement.

We must not forget the numerous domestic acts of terrorism and mass shootings caused by right-wingers and their cults whose members still exist. The fact remains that more domestic acts of terrorism and mass shootings have been instigated by people who aligned themselves on the right and were often times racially motivated, than those who align themselves with Antifa.

The crowd was beginning to gather in the morning when cheers rang out as Trump's limousine neared Freedom Plaza on his way to a golf outing in Sterling, Virginia. People lined both sides of the street. Some stood just a few feet away from Trump’s vehicle; others showed their enthusiasm by running along with the caravan.

Trump, going to play golf for the umpteenth time - in the middle of a re-surging pandemic - while his supporters cheer him on....without masks or distancing...

That really says it all, doesn't it....

The “Million MAGA March” was heavily promoted on social media, raising concerns that it could spark conflict with anti-Trump demonstrators, who have gathered near the White House in Black Lives Matter Plaza for weeks.

Righto! But it can also be argued that the Dems have been hemorrhaging support from working-class Americans since FDR's New Deal. The Cold War ( McCarthyism, Indo-China and numerous other acts of aggression against governments which refused to shine Uncle Sam's shoes) primed the electorate for anti-communist ideology and nationalistic "American exceptionalism". "Unelectable" (NYT) Reagan came to my neighborhood on his first campaign stop to speak at our local union hall. The guys told me he was their man and that they would all vote for him. I knew then that the Dems had lost the American working class. Since Reagan's MAGA with its corporate "trickle down" and globalization, it has been all downhill for workers as America shifted far right. There is no left-wing party as a counter-balance for workers to turn to. Sanders was twice denied by corporate money and influence. Their now precarious socioeconomic status has triggered an acute identity crisis which finally drove them over the cliff and into the treacherous hands of " Berzelius Windrip's" wannabe avatar. It is to be hoped that Harris will be able to win back working-class America, but it may be too late.

Nice quote from a Politico article today.

"Normally when we survey experts, we’ll get a range of answers—a breadth that reflects their backgrounds and particular corners of expertise. Not this time."

“There is simply no evidence of fraud. Nor is there any other realistic basis for altering the apparent outcome,” wrote Steven F. Huefner, a law professor at the Ohio State University. That assessment was backed up by Lawrence Douglas, a law professor at Amherst College who has for more than a year been studying what could go wrong with this election. He saw “no reason whatsoever to question the legitimacy of the process or the trustworthiness of the results.”

But these are just egg-head eliteist professors who study the law for a living, so what do they know???

JJ,

That used to be true but not anymore. All trump supporters are GOP. And being in the GOP means that one must enable and be complicit with Trump's behavior. He wouldn't have been the nominee if they had stood up when the Access Hollywood tapes came out. But they didn't and have successively enabled him since.

There is no way, nada, zilch, possibility that the GOP is going to successfully say "We are not the party of Trump" and get away with it.

The GOP made it's bed. Now it gets to sleep in it.

The Mueller report showed how Fox “news” altered their reporting based on demands from the Trump White House.

Now the right are calling Fox “news” left-wing. I do enjoy seeing the right turn upon its own. This also shows how extreme the right in America has become; they are so far right that fox “news” appears left, since they are too far to see any further left.

With that degree of distortion, how can America ever recover? I personally don’t think it can. The American empire is well on the decline.

Here's the perfect example of Trump conning his supporters....

*In Arizona on Thursday, Trump attorney Kory Langhofer conceded that he was “not alleging fraud” or “that anyone is stealing the election” — in direct contradiction with Trump’s repeated public claims that this was indeed what has happened in multiple states. Langhofer said the Trump legal team was simply raising concerns about a “limited number of cases” involving “good-faith errors.”*

https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/it-goes-from-bad-to-worse-for-the-trump-legal-team/ar-BB1aZSen

His attorneys have no evidence to submit, so they are forced to admit they are “not alleging fraud” ....as he continues with the "stolen election" fairy tale...

Just one more Trump con-job pulled on his supporters...

Need to dig up my old college copy of Eric Hoffer's "The True Believer" to make sense of this. I do remember this quote from Pascal, at the beginning: “Man would fain be great and sees that he is little; would fain be happy and sees that he is miserable; would fain be perfect and sees that he is full of imperfections; would fain be the object of the love and esteem of men, and sees that his faults merit only their aversion and contempt. The embarrassment wherein he finds himself produces in him the most unjust and criminal passions imaginable, for he conceives a mortal hatred against that truth which blames him and convinces him of his faults.”

This is exactly why Trump loves the poorly educated; they are easily manipulated, which we see every day.

How do you know the protesters are "poorly educated"?

You do not, perhaps, define "well educated" as "believing corporate media uncritically"?

Now the right are calling Fox “news” left-wing. I do enjoy seeing the right turn upon its own. This also shows how extreme the right in America has become; they are so far right that fox “news” appears left, since they are too far to see any further left.

The shift of Fox News towards the swamp side since the management changed from the old owner has been a topic for some time. That you do not know about it shows only that you limit yourself to your information bubble.

The learning process takes a little time to realize that the old world, U.S. and Europe is now almost replaced into Hispanic, African, Arab territory as forced and wished for by themselves. Say goodbye to civilization as you were used to know it. It hurts, yes, and it should even hurt harder to all those ignorant idiots who now wake up when it’s much too late.

This is exactly why Trump loves the poorly educated; they are easily manipulated, which we see every day.

Does anyone find this comment belittling and offensive? I watched a Harvard Neurosurgeon at prestigious hospital in Maryland make a compelling argument about voter misconduct in swing states on YouTube at the Trump support gathering in DC. He did made a good argument and would consider him well spoken and extremely educated.

Poorly educated this reader writes. Offensive! I supported party and Trump. I did Proudly. I disagree with some of his policies as well and have been super critical of Trump's public speaking and lying. He could do better. But to classify us all as poorly educated who support the man?

@ P.Smith, did you not learn anything from Clinton's deplorable basket generalization on American citizens?

Am I to be considered poorly educated? I guess BLM and Antifa are highly educated?

Here is the deal. The country is split 50/50. Democrats better get used to the fact that half us do not want your politicking genre of the modern times. It stinks. Rancid.

For the majority of Trump backers and others in the far right no evidence reported by what they call the 'MSM' nor from the government is believed anymore. 

There is, but the msm just carries the mic... for now.

Instead they believe what a serial liar like Trump says

They definitely don’t believe the....so called integrity of what the media claim to be. Lol

and what's reported by Hannity, Alex Jones, Breitbart, RT, Gateway Pundit, some random poster on 8chan and other fringe/wack sites writes.

And those conservatives will get bigger and louder to counter the radical left sites now more than ever, already happening

Instead of believing what a 'mainstream' journal like Lancet or the New England Journal of Medicine reports they'll believe what Qanon says.

Well, when the msm tries to silence opposing viewpoints on every level, it makes sense and that won’t go away, 120 million people have the absolute right to be heard and if not they’ll use other venues and conspiracy theories will grow if people are kept in the dark, especially as liberals are not and never have been transparent.

And they're heavily armed.

Very true

He will live out his remaining days tormented by his failure, trying to stave off prison and financial ruin and fomenting on Newsmax and OAN. Every year that goes by he will be a more disgraced figure. A cold, fraught and miserable post Presidency.

Another gem!!!

The trump militia was out on the streets today with all their ugliness and bigotry loud and clear.

trump gave them a drive past, but didn’t have the courage to step out of his mobile bunker.

This is what trump wants for America.

They’ve been manipulated by Trump to believe the election was fraudulent despite the lack of evidence it was and the mountains of evidence that fraud is not an issue in US elections.

Gee, the power of Trump to manipulate seems impressive. How does he do that, seeing that he has a thoroughly adversarial press. And it is interesting to learn that fraud is not an issue in US elections .... after being lectured for 4 years about "Russian interference" and some such. When did the narrative change?

Before you start in on “there is plenty of evidence of fraud, but the MSM is burying it,” please remember that that is simply an assertion unless you have cites to reputable sources.

You can look at the law suits in various states. Reams of witness reports, given as sworn affadafits. And you can look at independent data audits. Are you surprised that Twitter and Fakebook are censoring discussions about Benfords law?

But yes, if you consume only CNN, NYT, MSN etc all that would be blanked out in your bubble.
