    It’s such batshit logic too. The 2020 presidential election, which happened with Trump as president, saw Biden become president through cheating but the 2024 election, which happened under Biden who apparently cheated previously, was a-okay and saw Trump win? Are Republicans just really bad at election security and Democrats just super lazy at cheating when they get into power?

      No, they just don’t give a fuck. The vast majority know it’s lies, they just want their side to rule and elections be damned.

      It’s “Biden used the deep state to cheat in 2020, but when he realised we noticed he was too scared to try again in 2024.

      They’re either stupid or mentally ill. You’d have to talk to them to figure out which is which unfortunately.

    I’m shocked. What an incredible surprise. It’s almost like their opinion of the legitimacy of the election depends on the winner.

    I feel like the extremely low election confidence of independants is also an important part of this story.

      We are the only ones with enough sense to know the elections in a fascist country owned by wall street military and prison industry profiteers are completely Fraudulent.

    This article refers to voter confidence in the elections, not the validity some Republican politicians might assert towards an election.

    Basically, what this confirms is, that since Republicans won the elections, Republican voters are more confident that the elections were valid. This isn’t because they believe the fact that US elections are extremely secure. It’s because they won, and it’s their natural response, through confirmation bias, to immediately see the fruition of their own desires as “valid”. As such, they then project that sense of validity onto anything that might positively influence their own validation through confirmation bias.

        The war people will never, nor can they ever admit they’re wrong. Any criticism = “attack on my beliefs”

          If their beliefs are stupid you bet I’ll attack them. Free speech is a two way street.
