The share of Republicans and Republican-leaning independents who believe that President Joe Biden’s 2020 election win was not legitimate has ticked back up, according to a new CNN poll fielded throughout July. All told, 69% of Republicans and Republican-leaners say Biden’s win was not legitimate, up from 63% earlier this year and through last fall, even as there is no evidence of election fraud that would have altered the outcome of the contest.

    Well, that 70% can’t be taken seriously as people then. Just because they didn’t get the result they wanted (thank jebus), doesn’t mean it’s illegitimate. Fuck, when the orange asshole won the election I took a deep breath and accepted that the next 4 years are probably not going to go well. I’m sure we could have found actual election fraud with his victory but whatever.

      No, but remember, those 70% will likely vote for the assbag, no matter how the legal matters fall out.

      Another four year term from Trump would be absolutely disastrous. After being sworn in, I wouldn’t be at all surprised if, instead of making a speech, he simply took a copy of the Constitution and just tore it up.

        Luckily the other 30% won’t vote for him again, meaning he’ll never win.

        There might not be very many smart Republican voters, but there are just enough to ensure that Trump has no chance.

        Oh please. Remember when Democrats went to the Sacramento Capitol armed? Or when Maxine Waters called for protestors to “get confrontational” and incited her own blend of “insurrection”?

        Short memories with you lot. Willfully deceitful and always in bad faith.

      Oh, plenty of interference I’m sure. He had help and admitted to it, just not directly.

      Don’t worry I’m sure the next vote will also be fortified to get the result you want, that’s pure democracy right there
