Again, I know that posters here do not need this explanation, but they may know some who do.

Just SAYING something again and again and again does not make it true. No matter how many times you call an apple a banana, it is still an apple.

You can say the election was stolen, Dominion machines switched votes to Trump, tens of thousands of unregistered/dead/illegal aliens voted for Biden, or suitcases of Chinese "bamboo ballots" swung the election for Biden, but----after over two years and over 60 ridiculous lawsuits filed by dozens of incompetent pettifoggers NOT ONE SHRED of EVIDENCE has been produced to support ANY of that.

And, so, reasonable people long ago understood that when you continued to shout those ridiculous slanders it was because you were either a damn liar or a total idiot.

If the above is too difficult for you to understand, let me simplify it for you: "Saying shit doesn't make it so. Only fools and liars say it does and no one really cares anymore which you are."

There. That is the "real" reason these idiots lose (of course it's false, since there is no EVIDENCE it's true, but it's the only response that makes these traitors feel like they've been robbed).

They support the MAGA hair furhair who now wants to surrender the U.S. to the war criminals in Russia for money for him and him alone.

In "Scandal", the president won thanks to a hacked voting machine.

In "The Good Wife", the governor won thanks to a suitcase or two of phantom ballots.

In "24", Jack Bauer won thanks to - well, come on. He had the script on his side, so of course he won.

Magats watch too much TV, and believe what they see.

But can confirm the speaker is indeed a fool and/or a liar.

This concept isn’t limited to talking about stolen elections.

I've never seen anyone here claim the election was stolen, so I don't think we need reminded not to.

And I'll also say that this concept applies to folks who repeatedly say "person X is guilty of Y" when they don't understand the legal definition of "crime Y" & they don't understand the legal standard of proof that's required to find someone guilty of "crime Y."

Anyone can chant "lock her up" or "he's guilty of Y" as many times as they want, but that doesn't change the law.
