I'm still just like, we all are looking at the same guy, right?

The obvious conman? The guy who said the 2020 election was stolen before voting even ended, and had been giving signals he wouldn't accept the results unless he won months before? The guy who we heard tell Raffensberger to find the votes to steal the election for himself? The guy whose comms director sounds like a North Korean news anchor?

I feel like you just need a 7-year-old's credibility detector to see the man is lying and not credible. It's that hard? I can't keep up with how quickly I need to lower my expectations.

The guy who started to say that Hilary stole the election in 2016, when he won?

The GOP is a cult.

The recent findings from the AP-NORC survey show that a significant chunk of Trump’s supporters might be more inclined to believe what he says about the upcoming election results than they are to trust government certifications of election results.

About two-thirds of Republicans trust Trump’s campaign at least a moderate amount to provide accurate information about the results of the 2024 election, while only about half say the same about the official certifications of results, the survey found. By contrast, about 9 in 10 Democrats trust the government certification at least a moderate amount, and an overwhelming majority, 82%, also have at least a moderate amount of trust in Harris and her campaign.

Most Americans — around 7 in 10 — trust the government certifications of election results at least a moderate amount, according to the survey. Majorities also trust national and local TV news networks, as well as local or national newspapers, to provide accurate information about the outcome of this year’s presidential election.
