This article and Poll just confirm that at least half of repugs are stupid

http://www.sfgate.com/opinion/article/In-new-poll-half-of-Republicans-say-they-would-11748075.php

Critics of President Donald Trump have repeatedly warned of his potential to undermine American democracy. Among the concerns are his repeated assertions that he would have won the popular vote had 3 to 5 million "illegals" not voted in the 2016 election, a claim echoed by the head of a White House advisory committee on voter fraud.
Claims of large-scale voter fraud are not true, but that has not stopped a substantial number of Republicans from believing them. But how far would Republicans be willing to follow the president to stop what they perceive as rampant fraud? Our recent survey suggests that the answer is quite far: About half of Republicans say they would support postponing the 2020 presidential election until the country can fix this problem.

They are authoritarian followers who are caught up in a cult of personality. This is how dictators rise to power.

These memes keep getting repeated over and over again and then it becomes conventional wisdom for some people. If you bring evidence that disputes their claims they just say that the source is biased and part of the liberal media establishment.
