    these people refuse to consider basic math like "per capita", they tell each other that CA must be supermajority GOP because many republicans live there. you see so much of it with stuff like "Biden could not have won when Trump got more votes than Obama did in 2012", as if turnout were a foreign concept. it's complete feels-over-reals cope

    I know this is the wrong place to state the obvious since everyone here is smarter than the average bear. BUT! Just in case...I work for my county's election department. The dominion devices that people vote on are actually disconnected from any network. They also don't tabulate votes, they record them to a piece of paper, you take the piece of paper and put in the ballot box. QR code is scanned later. There's no server where all the votes are saved. Then it all goes under audit by anyone who wants to audit. Yes even the Republicans audit us and find nothing. Anyways, I'm done pooping so Ima stop typing.

      Isn't Oregon filled with white supremacists? Sounds way more likely to flip than cali.

    I don't understand why they don't even try to make this stuff plausible. In what world do the Dems win Colorado and Oregon while losing California and all of Maine's EVs? And all those court rulings that were like...

    A man known as Spyder testifiesthathesawasuspicioustrucknearthecountingcenter in Lower Manhattan, Houston, Michigan, Canada. The truck appeared to be being driven by Nicolae Ceaușescu. [REDACTED] can vouch for Spyder's reliability as a witness. Spyder pleads the 28th and does not create joinder.

    Is it some counterintuitive psychological thing where people who are into stupid conspiracy theories are more likely to believe stuff if it's blatantly nonsensical? Or is there some kind of cell of saboteurs/performance artists inside the Trump campaign?

      A big chunk of it is just "GRAPH SAYING TRUMP WON" along with "Link to PDF nobody will ever read" and a random 30-something former debutant telling you the election was rigged.

      If you go below the fold, you'll eventually find some 8000 page treatise written by the Time Cube guy, explaining how Joe Biden used the conjunction of Jupiter and Saturn to summon election demons into Georgia's state house, and here are the Ectoplasmic Readouts from his EKG meter to prove it.

      It's the same reason why email scams intentionally have awful spelling and grammar. It's a filter for rubes

          It's the natural progression. Fox first, now ONAN, and by the end of Biden's term there will be one that's just a 24/7 livestream of a swastika.

      at this stage I'm starting to think Q was created by some rogue AI feedback loop.

      surely the deep state can just get her with the dementia gun or something if they wanted to.

      like matt said we need a left Q. just a movement of pure, blind, lizard hype.

        Here's how Bernie can still win won, and they're hiding the proof!

    No bullshit, but if the election was actually much closer, but Joe Biden still actually won, Donald Trump's coup likely would have been more successful and violent.

      Trump burned all his bridges. People insider the bureaucracy hate him. He pissed off Jim Mathis. He pissed off John Kelly. He pissed off Rex Tillerson. He pissed off Steve Bannon. The entire Bush family hates his ass. Collin Powel doesn't even want to be a Republican anymore. Jeff Sessions gave up a Senate seat they'd have buried him in so he could be an AG that got yelled at for two years.

      You're literally left asking "Trump and what army?" because all the top brass can't stand him.

      Nobody except Steven Miller and a few hundred thousand very red, very mad, very nude instagram models actually want this guy to be President.

        You just reminded me Jeff Sessions lost to a football coach named Tommy Potatotown.

    Really? People in GermAny saw a television station broadcast of a channel referring to "election day" in the past tense,ON election day? The finest teeth in the world couldn't create a comb that would hold this up to THIS scrutiny!
