Election Was Stolen Anyway, Poll Finds

The share of Republicans who believe President Joe Biden didn’t legitimately win the 2020 election and there’s “solid evidence” to prove it has plunged over the past two years, a new CNN/SSRS poll finds, suggesting Republicans are increasingly realizing there’s no solid proof of the election fraud claims pushed by the far right—but still aren’t changing their minds about the election being “stolen.”

The CNN poll, conducted March 8-12 among 1,045 Republicans and Republican-leaning Independents, found 63% of respondents believe Biden did not legitimately win the 2020 election, while 37% believe he did.

Of that 63%, only 52% say they think there’s “solid evidence” the election was stolen, while 48% say they’re going based on “suspicion only.”

That marks a significant decrease in the share of Republicans believing there’s evidence of fraud: 61% thought there was evidence of fraud in October 2022, the last time the question was asked, which was already down from a high of 75% who said there was proof the election was stolen in January 2021.

Most of them are still fucking idiots.

1. It's a waste of time to grapple with their arguments' content -- they are never genuine.

Repukes don't believe ANY election they lose is legitimate. Categorically. From their perspective a fair and proper election is one they have won. Period. If they have not, it was not. Every time.

So the content of their accusations and complaints is always pretextual -- they have started with the conclusion and are just back filling with whatever bullshit sounds okay to them in the moment, but they aren't married to it. If it gets debunked they just discard it and move on to another reason, or no reason at all.

2. Tunnel vision is what you describe. This kind of tunnel is built with concrete b.s., fortified by

iron rods of conspiracy. Once you commit yourself to entering the tunnel, there’s no way out.
