If you still really believe the 2020 election was stolen, you are an idiot.
If you don't really believe it was stolen, but keep SAYING that it was, you are a despicable political whore.
Either way, I don't want to breathe the same air as you.

We still have an idiot here in Virginia (in the state Senate) who is calling for a full forensic audit of the POTUS part of 2020. Biden win by 10%. The state flipped to Obama in 2008 and hasnt turned back except for Youngkin. Youngkin won by about 3% one year later but that election is fine.

(15,380 posts)You can either take the position and provide proof that part of the "big steal" involved a cabal of republican governors, republican state lawmakers, republican judges at all levels (some appointed by TFG) including the SCOTUS (some appointed by TFG), and all the republicans who ran multiple state audits came together to deny re-election to one of their own, or you can just admit you're butthurt that an unpopular president who failed America didn't win.

I prefer fresh air, not the putrid, disgusting RW generated air from constant BS...

(349 posts)I don't think that is accurate. I struggle to call people stupid for believing in stupid things when they are given information that leads them to their opinion. I would be more likely to call them pawns, or the like. That often isn't equitable to intelligence.
"If you don't really believe it was stolen, but keep SAYING that it was, you are a despicable political whore."
That's where it's at. I believe you might have been a little polite in your description of them.

(15,124 posts)over 30,000 lies, two JUSTIFIED impeachments and the pussy grabbing, they can hardly be called pawns if they still worship him. They either don't know what a monster he is--- "stupid" --- or they like that he's a monster but don't admit it---"whore".
Finally, these people equate "polite" with "weak and stupid" and most here are neither, which you may gather once you've been here more than a few hours.

(349 posts)The intelligence of the members on this board into question. I read for a bit before creating an account. I dont go around joining websites I simply land on. I saw a sticker on a laptop in a library at UF that was just this places url. That was a long time ago. Ive used this place as a news aggregator. Its really neat what access you are given without a membership here. Im not sure Ill like posting. We will see. Im not good at brevity(often sign of limited intelligence). I hope you dont feel this post is questioning your intelligence. I promise that is not my intent.
The other part of that final point you put forward is that I dont assess others based on their assessment of me. While Ive never met anyone who has defined my politeness as stupidity, Im sure they are out there. Also, from personal experience, not even close to everyone on my team to be polite. Some of my favorite friends and politicians are ones that have left politeness behind.
The binary thought put forward in your first paragraph is inaccurate. I know you and I can prove that together by coming up with the many other reasons that exist outside of the only two options you say exist. Im that confident there. Ill even say with the number of posts you have here that you have already put forward other possibilities.
I believe there are lots of ignorant Trump supporters out there. I also know a lot of silent Trump supporters who benefited from the Trump Tax Scam more than anyone knows. Its not that they like he is a monster, as its hard to recognize that which one already is.
Im not willing to label a group of people who I view as Republican collateral damage in their war to maintain oppressive socioeconomic policies as I do many other Trump supporters.
Its the monsters who concern me most. More often than not they are a pretty intelligent group.
I also called plenty of the 2016 Trump voters stupid. Thats not on me. I watched his rallies. I watched the interviews. It changed me.
